I will never, ever fucking ever understand supporting everything a president says and does.

104. ALL politicians in our system of money politics

are bought and paid for by their contributors who are corporate sponsors, big money wheels like that billionaire PAC gearing up for hillary's run for POTUS and other rich and connected folks.. Our system is corrupted by money. Don't think our present POTUS didn't walk through the front door of 1600 owing many people. My little 25 dollar contributions in the end mean nothing in big money politics, really.

What counts in our system of money politics is access and influence coupled with MANY dollars/assets. Yeah we have the vote. But that is coming under increasing distrust, in my book, since the 2000 and 2004 fiascos and with the increasing use of paperless voting and voting registration law/rules manipulation by the RW 'authorities' and politicians.

Any person devoting themselves to any politician and their promises is a person asking to be disappointed. I believe only when a promise is delivered. Otherwise no. This POTUS has to kowtow to others with much more influence in running things in this world than a mere POTUS. You think the koch brothers care about our disdain, short of a revolution against their type? No. Bankers who have destroyed hundreds of thousand families and lives, I'm one of them getting foreclosed, get off scot free, barring the one or two sacrificial lambs thrown into the fire for public consumption. TPP is slowed not stopped until it can be slipped under our radar. It will pass. Who's going to stop them? No one, no not even us, the concerned.

Abject fealty? NEVER! Hope that a promise will be delivered upon, always. Hope springs eternal, you know? I'm a cynic, most times, have no doubt. It is sick to blindly devote ones self to any other human being. You will be disappointed. Yet if a person chooses to believe every words from a politician. So be it on them. I agree with you somewhat, but I don't condemn a POTUS completely. He/she is a tool of the system. And while I don't feel our current POTUS is a bushie type of POTUS, the type that just swung open the corruption doors to any and all rich and connected persons, I do feel he could have done more for us 99%ers. Healthcare aside and I do hope he doesn't capitulate on chained CPI and by the way the rich will always get what they want. Cali, I understand you and Prosense hating our present POTUS I just don't agree with every reason you two have for your hate. That's all. All politicians owe too much to too many to truly be what we want them to be. Representatives of the people.
