(19,926 posts)Obama never did that.
Also, he's not going to go into the negotiations offering the Cons almost all of what they want from the get go, which Obama did.
Bernie is a fighter, he is COMPLETELY on the people's side and he's not going to play footsie with the other side. And you can bet they know he won't so they aren't going to be able to play around as they have been. Of course they will try, but Bernie isn't going to appease them or think he can work with them. He'll get the people riled up and the Cons will have to do something because the people will demand it. Obama squandered the energy of the people that he had when he got elected and sworn in. He stopped rallying them and they went home. He didn't listen to them, opting instead to try and work with the Cons. Big mistake. Bernie won't do that.
