I have been feeling the way Elon Musk and Bill Mahr are feeling right now since Obama failed to deliver on anything he ran on. Boy he was a good talker though. Years later, a lot of the old school liberals are walking away from this embarrassment. All I can say is its about time.
JFK democrats unite. Lets make the Democrat party great again.
I think the ACA, the Iran Deal, the Ledbetter Act, repeal of "Don't ask, don't tell," were all "delivered," right? And he did quite a bit to pull us out of recession and save some sectors of the U.S. auto industry. And he killed OBL and commuted the sentences of 1200 people imprisoned for violating harsh laws against marijuana use/sale.
Most of Obama's accomplishments came in the first two years of office, when he could count on the Senate and House. I don't blame him for the difficulty of keeping promises in the face of determined Republican opposition. He couldn't close Gitmo or join the TPP. But that's not on him.
So it's not clear from your post why the Dem party is charged with "embarrassment" here. What exactly were your values, if accomplishments like the Ledbetter Act or the ACA left you behind?
