In reply to the discussion: President Obama, already one of the best Presidents ever. [View all]mindwalker_i
(4,407 posts)113. Which kind of confirms my point
that Obama has done a lot of good. And one could make the argument that he's tried to address income inequality. I can also make the argument that he hasn't gone after the banks anywhere near what is warranted and in fact bailed them out. That is a mistake.
Continuing the spying from the Bush era is also a mistake.
Supporting Obama unconditionally, regardless of new facts, is a mistake.
