There is an old adage in advertising: Unseen is Unsold.

In 2008, my candidate, Barack Obama became the first African American President of the United States. It was a tearful night for many in this country as it was for my wife and I as we watched the television monitor.

In that election we also took the Senate and the House dramatically. It was a mandate, and my wife and I talked of all the wonderful things that could now be accomplished. It was a time of HOPE.

That was then this is now.

We live in a time of revolving door politician/lobbyists. Our government is an extension of the multinational corporate system. That is one of Senator Bernie Sanders main points. We no longer govern ourselves but are controlled.

This election season we have had a person running our Democratic Party, Debbie Wasserman Schultz, who is receptive only to the multinational corporations. In a stunning betrayal of Democracy itself she has autocratically worked toward the destruction of the Democratic Party. To the Sanders campaigns credit they knew it would be this way. They knew the multinational corporate media conglomerates would control the process and they would receive none of their help and would be a hindrance if anything.

Despite all this the Sanders Campaign, in effect in eight months time, has built their own media system out of social media and carved out their own Democratic branch of the Democratic Party. It is growing exponentially everyday. The Sanders Campaign has built, and are currently fine tuning, their own people funded mega monetary political force.

4. If there is one person that has done the most to harm the Presidency of Barack Obama, it is HER

She ignored all the red states in the mid-terms.
The comments coming out of these states were heartbreaking. Close races were won by repugs because the RNC stepped in and invested heavily in their candidates. The Did NOT show up!

I'm in AZ & the dems actually ran excellent candidates, especially down ticket. The Kochs invested heavily in Az - as did the RNC. Again, crickets from the DNC. As a result, ALEC now runs our state and is writing all the legislation.


Can you imagine if the DNC actually invested in these states & how much more successful President Obama would have been with more support in the House and Senate?

Thanks for nothing Debbie!
