(249 posts)I don't see a lot of difference between GW Bush and BH Obama. Same policies, politics, -different Business Party. The ACA is from the Heritage Foundation, same drone strikes (but escalated), same NSA wiretap program, same TARP program, same GM bailout (both started by GW Bush), same "state secrets" whistle blower prosecutions, same deport illegal immigrants, same - NO Wall Street prosecutions, same -NO support for Occupy Wall Street, same proposed cuts to Social Security, same TPP. The TPP and SS cuts (chained CPI) were the tipping point for me. We seem to have a choice between a moderate republican and crazy people. Where is the populist that ran for office? I know he's only human but -He could motivate millions if he would just fight for us, and not pay us lip service.
I feel fooled, but there's still a deep well of Americans who believe, and they will light the fire again.
