He is simply looking at what the candidates say they will do. Based on their actions, Obama has one of the most partisan voting records in Congress. He does whatever the Democratic Party does. As President, he will be driven by Congress, he will sign any legislation written by the blue team.
Surveillance laws will not be repealed. Non-farmers will be screwed over to benefit farmers. Young people will be screwed over to pay off elderly voters. Consumers will be screwed over to benefit unions. School children will be screwed over to benefit the NEA. Future generations will be screwed over to benefit current generations. Funding for new programs to make Americans more dependent on government will be piled on top of a deficit fast approaching $1 trillion.
His speech might be sparkling, but his record does not fill me with Hope. I miss gridlock.

- DanielBMarkham 18y agoHere's a little brain teaser that anybody can try (I think I can do this without taking a side. I'll give it a shot anyway) Pick a candidate. Imagine that they win. Based on past performance, will the other candidate who lost help them enact bipartisan legislation? Now do that with the other candidate. Does the first guy help out for the greater good, or pull back to join in with the rest of his party in the regular old political games. Is there substance there or just smoke? So which choice is going to help the maximum amount of voters? Interestingly enough, you can use this exercise to support either candidate no matter what the results. But I think it does enlighten things a bit.
