After 12 years of corruption with the Bushes and 8 years of Reagan, along with the scandals fabricated by Republicans on Clinton, people like Brooks have gotten used to nonstop corruption in the White House.

get very little attention & will NEVER make to the GT page because stories like this do not fit the narrative many here on DU want to believe about President Obama.

If Bernie Sanders is elected he will either be a failed 4yr POTUS or an accomplished 8yr POTUS hated on DU! LOL!!

If you listen to to these same people who bitch & moan about President Obama they will praise & worship FDR as some type of "Liberal God" when he locked up Japanese in concentration camps, turned Jews around & sent them back to Europe knowing they would die, refused to even mention the anti-lynching bill that many were trying to get through congress while so many African Americans were being lynched all over the country especially in the south, he took the side of rich land owners in the south over both white & black share croppers...I could go on & on. However, he did enormous good as well. They are called politicians for a reason it is about walking that tightrope & getting what you can done & making people's lives just a bit better. If a POTUS gets elected & rolls into DC with the attitude of many here on DU they will get nothing done & be voted out after 4yrs. Just the way America works...Just look at the latest polling results George W. Bush is favored higher than President Obama!!!!!!!!!! Let that sink in & it tells you how fucking stupid the collective country is not just on the Right.

He really is No Drama Obama. In 2007, the choice between him and jumping right back in with the Clintons after 7-8 short years hiatus from being severely let down by Bill was easy.
