1. President Obama, I pulled the damn lever for you because

I thought you understood it was time for us to take care of us, not the Generals and not these trumped up "security issues" etc.

Al Queda has yet to off 44,000 Americans through terrorism.

But my friends are nervous every day of their lives because of your failure to get a real discussion about health care costs and your failure to rip away at the inflation brought about by the Huge Insurers, the Huge Pharma Industry, the Huge Big Medical rip off artists.

Health Care Not Warfare, Mr President. And sooner or later, some one like Kucinich will make a break through.

Pew Survey said, Spring of last year 33% of all Americans consider themselves Dems.
28% consider themselves Repugs. The rest of us jsut want to be able to vote for someone who looks after US FIRST. Because if we don't get someone to do that, we will no longer have any middle class, and maybe one of your Rand Corp experts can explain to your that no nation without a middle class has ever been a democracy.

2. Sanders is so much wiser than Obama turned out to be...

I'm heartsick over this horrible decision.

4. The fucking interviewers were facing a dilemma.

For having Bernie on, criticizing Obama's decision they had to let him slam Republicans and Bush. You could see them squirm.

5. BrainDead Joe's conclusion from this discussion was "we are going to draw down as soon as possible"

Uh, Joe, in case you haven't been paying attention, that's exactly the opposite of what we are doing.

Just because it is the only smart thing to do, doesn't make it so.

Also, this logic applied back when Bush did it, too. Idiot.
