I only brought it up because too many people remember Obama as better than the heritage foundation capitulating fake lefty he was. I thought I was making a point he was more to the right than Hillary who gets more readily pegged as a center right hawk. Oh well.

If her performance in 2016 is any indication, if she had beaten Obama, she would have considered her job done.

Yeah, I supported Obama back then because I assumed Hillary was lying. Clinton was always a corporatist and she was right with him. NAFTA fucked the working class hard. Plus she pushed the super predator narrative.
