who is being "pushed aside" by the dictator wanna be, Psychotrump.

https://twitter.com/Juanita71013778/status/1194081660276477953Yeah, we were reacting off of false information which
was not our fault.
The reporter owes a lot of apologies to everyone who took it to be accurate.

Thank you, emmaverybo.. it's a little like
the Twilight Zone.. another thread telling so many of us we didn't understand what we read.. his spokesperson telling us we were "..reading in bad faith.."

PB needs to do a better job of his messaging if he didn't mean exactly what it sounds like.. causing such an uproar.

I know you've seen these tweets.. just posting again for anyone else who might not have.
@PeteButtigieg on comparisons to Biden and his criticism of the Obama Administration.
https://twitter.com/tomwatson/status/1193730278642061312That's precisely the way others are seeing it, too..
Points for your description here .. "... his stab at thin euphemism did not work.."
I know.. not a good idea, imo.. to accuse
those who read it and took for what it actually said, of "reading in bad faith".
There's a whole lot of us out here and on twitter too, who took it to mean they were "President Obama's failures that lead us to trump"..
I noticed Julian Castro did, too..

Yes, the trump supporters had 8 years of misery
under Obama..
The sentence I hear most from well-meaning, conservative friends since President Trumps election is this: We suffered 8 years under Barack Obama.
Fair enough. Lets take a look.
The day Obama took office, the Dow closed at 7,949 points. Eight years later, the Dow had almost tripled.
General Motors and Chrysler were on the brink of bankruptcy, with Ford not far behind, and their failure, along with their supply chains, would have meant the loss of millions of jobs. Obama pushed through a controversial, $8o billion bailout to save the car industry. The U.S. car industry survived, started making money again, and the entire $80 billion was paid back, with interest.
While we remain vulnerable to lone-wolf attacks, no foreign terrorist organization has successfully executed a mass attack here since 9/11.
Obama ordered the raid that killed Osama Bin Laden.
He drew down the number of troops from 180,000 in Iraq and Afghanistan to just 15,000, and increased funding for the Department of Veterans Affairs.
He launched a program called Opening Doors which, since 2010, has led to a 47 percent decline in the number of homeless veterans.
He set a record 73 straight months of private-sector job growth.
Due to Obamas regulatory policies, greenhouse gas emissions decreased by 12%, production of renewable energy more than doubled, and our dependence on foreign oil was cut in half.
He signed The Lilly Ledbetter Act, making it easier for women to sue employers for unequal pay.
His Omnibus Public Lands Management Act designated more than 2 million acres as wilderness, creating thousands of miles of trails and protecting over 1,000 miles of rivers.
He reduced the federal deficit from 9.8 percent of GDP in 2009 to 3.2 percent in 2016.
For all the inadequacies of the Affordable Care Act, we seem to have forgotten that, before the ACA, you could be denied coverage for a pre-existing condition and kids could not stay on their parents policies up to age 26.
Obama approved a $14.5 billion system to rebuild the levees in New Orleans.
All this, even as our own Mitch McConnell famously asserted that his singular mission would be to block anything President Obama tried to do.
