oh 8 . 99 dollar <| sep |> Anytime anyone brings up the myriad failings of Obama ' s administration people just point to Bush and act as if being slightly better than a prototypical neocon is somehow acceptable . Holding Hillary to account for her husband ' s administration is reasonable given all the damage he did and the fact that she was closely involved . My point is that Democrats will never accomplish anything if they only ever measure themselves against Republicans . Clinton and Obama were not good presidents , they did a lot of damage and in reality did very little to actually differentiate themselves from their pantomime villain predecessors . Clinton completely betrayed the left and the working class but he broke Republican domination if only in name so people just excuse him for that . And 25 years on not only have the Dems not learned from their mistakes but they actually tried to elect another Clinton on a similar platform . The mind boggles .
