(15,435 posts)While I truly do think Obama is sincerely a compassionate and caring person, so many times I find myself scratching my head wondering why he can't be more assertive. Actually, it angers me a lot too.
Neither he nor Hillary were my choice for POTUS, but when it can down to one or the other, it was Obama I supported. Even with Big Dog Clinton I knew he was very much DLC and to the right of me. I'm much more a Warren, Grayson, Sanders person and respect them for fighting back when so many Democrats won't! There are others in the Democratic Party that get my support too, just can't name all of them,
What I will say as a white woman is this. The Congressional Black Caucus seems to always out in front fighting the good fight. Why the DLC types are such wimps kind of disgusts me.
Elizabeth Warren is one woman who has & DOES fight for what she believes in. Hillary is more of a "finger in the air" type checking to see which way the wind blows.
Boy would I love to see more Russ Fiengolds and Paul Wellstones back on the hill!
