(118,651 posts)many. But I dont think this list was directed at Democrats. I think it is directed at people in the stock market. Surely in this data driven age we can make messages geared towards one group or another. Because a president has to lead more than one group. And the GOP has not disrupted the economy for the upper middle class, unlike what they have purposely done to destroy workers wages. So why not promote Obamas success there, for those people stuck on faux? Facebook. To try to wake them up. So they like Obama. So they pay attention to democrats. So they then are able to hear how bad Republicans are for the country as a whole. So they vote democratic. So Repubs lose power. So the democrats in power can actually do something to fix unemployment. Because they are in power. Because some faux news viewers saw that Obama was not all bad. So they stopped thinking like children in black and white with Obama demonized. So they stopped thinking Obama was all darkness and evil while thinking their republican asses are all good and pure. So they stopped thinking pure capitalism was all good and pure. So they actually began to think that government did have a role to mitigate the worst of capitalism. So they actually saw a role for regulations, unions and such. Because they didnt see those things as all evil. All because they read a list of 5 things Obama had accomplished and that, for once, they saw he was not all bad.
