Right.

Esp. not a woman that looks and acts 90 years old...The only thing progressive about her would be that shes a woman.She has zero charisma and gets by on being "tough"...A woman presidential candidate needs to be young, smart and have that "it" factor...She has nothing..Trump would chew her up

Imagine the republicans forming against her

What does her looks have to do with her policy though? and yeah, I'm calling the sexism card. asking, Trump acts and looks the way he does and still has support of his base and the Republican party....

Obama's enduring legacy will be that he was a very competent, mainstream president who successfully enabled the status quo. Praising him for some mostly ineffective policy initiatives that played a bit with the margins would like praising Churchill if he had continued losing to the Nazis, only slower. Obama entered office with the country in a deep neoliberal well that had been building for 30+ years, and he was completely ineffective in getting us out of that well in large part because he was never seriously trying.
If you measure Obama by what change he presided over, it was a slightly progressive but mostly mixed bag. But if you measure Obama by the actual policies he presided over, then he was far more conservative than Nixon. He was another step in the long Reagan legacy, just with a blueish hue.
This isn't the argument. Obama largely reinstated Keynesian economic policy. And it's different than neoliberalism.

That's the argument.

You can correctly criticize Obama, his economic policy and his shortcomings without b*stardizing terms because it plays to your emotions. :yeshrug:

Try again.

What? The vacinne status quo that people somehow convinced themselves was really harmful so they decided to bring back dangerous diseases thought eradicated?

The political status quo that people somehow convinced themselves was really harmful so they decided to bring back Hitler like fascism thought eradicated?
