(24,544 posts)I had one of the most ridiculous conversations I've ever had here (and that is TRULY saying something) making that exact same point. http://www.democraticunderground.com/?com=view_post&forum=1002&pid=2806922
FDR, the source of I'm pretty sure some fairly salacious night time dreams of more than a few here, faced many of the same criticisms that Obama faces. And now, he is some sort of lion.
I've said a million times that in 50 years, when our grandchildren hear that a small but loud minority on the left complained that Obama didn't care enough about the poor, only cared about the rich, was a corparatist etc. etc. etc., I have no doubt that those kids will be every bit as mystified then as some of us are NOW about the nature of these criticisms.
That link I was posted was pretty much the last time I tried to engage with the deniers. Stopped bothering a long time ago.
