(20,450 posts)I'm STILL convinced that even on a subconscious level, this man's race has something to do with it.
We treat him much worse than Bill Clinton. Yes, Clinton has issues from some members of his own party, but even when he faced the Monica allegations, he had Democrats of all stripes stand by him.
Democrats--collectively--stood by Clinton despite his deregulatory policies that continue to have a negative impact on all of us to this day. And we continue to defend this so-called "political prowess" of the Clintons, though their involvement hasn't helped not one Red State Democrat win reelection. Not one!
And still we give little respect to this president. We complain about every lucky fucking thing, no matter how small or inconsequential. We whine and bitch that what he does "isn't liberal enough" and then call him all kinds of horrible names or relegate him to The "Worse Than Bush" file.
It's sad.
Yes, we do not deserve him. Not at all.
