Elizabeth Warren calls Obama's message out of touch with everyday Americans
Sen. Elizabeth Warren, D-Mass., criticized former President Barack Obama for supposedly running into a common dilemma that afflicts politicians of both parties — losing touch with the average American.
She said that regular people feel alienated when Obama talks about how wonderful the economy is doing when this does not correspond with their daily lives.

pAmerican Politics keeps getting curiouser and curiouser....
Oh please run in '20 pleasepleasepleasepleasepleasepleaseplease
Obama is reaping the rewards of faithfully following his corporate masters. The democrats are in a cesspool. I support Warren on this issue.
She's a millionaire Harvard professor working in the sweat shop of the United States Senate who pretends to be an Indian at cocktail parties hosted by the most influential people in the country. I don't see how much more in touch she could be with the common man.
Lol. She still has idiots who support her though. I guess they like voting against their best interests.
I see in today's news that she feels that the U.S. will never be ready for a male president again. I guess she's in for 2020. The new face of Democrats since Hillary so utterly failed.
since Hillary so utterly failed
Hillary utterly failed?
Why, because it was only 2,869,000 more Americans that picked her for President over him?
Face it, by the popular vote count she beat Trump, (and the ideas he championed), like a rented mule and Trump knows it.
The majority of the voters didn't want Trump or his vision for America on election day and, (as we have seen by the millions that march in protest every day), Americans are letting him know that they will continue rejecting him with vigor as the outlines of his putrid ideas start taking legislative shape.
If she was trying to win the popular vote, she was an idiot. Maybe she should have learned how the election worked.
Failure.
If she was trying to win the popular vote, she was an idiot.
The point is, the MAJORITY of Americans voted for Hillary to be President.
They preferred her ideas for the country and her overall competency for the job.
The fact that Trump won on the EC count and not because the voters wanted him is HIS big hang up.
Trump's the one that wont let go of the fact that his win will always have an asterisk by it.
Did that fire hose of garbage the Russians sprayed into our election process tip the scales? Who's to know?
Trump won 18 states by fewer than 250,000 votes; Clinton, 13.
The most important states, though, were Michigan, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin. Trump won those states by 0.2, 0.7 and 0.8 percentage points, respectively — and by 10,704, 46,765 and 22,177 votes. Those three wins gave him 46 electoral votes; if Clinton had done one point better in each state, she'd have won the electoral vote, too.
Or put another way: But for 79,646 votes cast in those three states, she'd be the next president of the United States.
Why did Michigan, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin flip from blue to red by less than 1%, giving Trump the EC win?
Was it the fake news, (put out by Russia), that the Pope was backing Trump that flipped some Catholic votes?
Was it the army of sock puppets that came onto boards and pretended to be pissed off Bernie fans that drove some Hillary voters to Jill?
Etc., etc......
Trump is the one wallowing in the fact that most voters rejected him and that he might owe his fluke win to the Russians.
He knows that difference between his EC win and a loss could be because of votes scammed by the Russians from the same kind of folks that give their bank info to the Nigerian Prince scams or the lonely dudes getting catfished by some fat, vodka swelling, sweating old Russian, pretending to be a women.
Trump knows he's President by fluke, that's why he's insecure in his win and is constantly bringing up his victory during interviews.
Saw something, somewhere that he's mentioned his win on at least 38 days out of his first 100.
The polls predicted that it was almost certain that Hillary would win. She didn't and she was defeated in one of the biggest upsets in history. But not just that. She lost to Donald fucking Trump, someone she pilloried as a knuckle dragging, bigoted, misogynistic, ignoramus. I bet she saw an utter failure when she looked in the mirror election night . . . and many agree with her.
Funny how many articles I have seen that said if the election was held today she would lose popular vote too. Let's not forget who/what she an against as well and STILL couldn't win. Regardless of popular vote she is still ultimately a failure. PLEASE run her again in 2020.
Lol. I can just imagine your sources.
And who is sitting in the Whitehouse? If we lived in a Democracy, she would have gotten the job, but we don't. Not sure if they have television in hermit country, but she lost. And she lost because she could only win the large population centers where free stuff and government assistance is the price of a vote. The rest of the country saw her as a continuation of corruption, a slimy candidate who spoke down to them instead of spoke with them. Someone who thought the rules only applied to those 'little people'. Laughingly referring to anyone that had the temerity to disagree with her 'deplorable'.
Yeah, that's how you win enough electoral votes to be president. NOT. A stupid campaign, run by crooks and liars that feel the Russians caused them to lose the election, instead of facing the facts that their own stupidity, arrogance and corruption were exposed to the American people.
You may have also noted that this election also showed losses in every level of the election for Democrats, from local all the way to the White House. Why is that? Russians? Laughable. People saw through the ruse? Even though the media outlets were outright bagging for Clinton to win.........
Democrats call people stupid and then ask them for their votes. And because it didn't work last time, they keep doing it and expecting a different result . . . the very definition of stupidity.

The Democrats gained seats in both the House and the Senate as compared to the previous congress.
Even NPR recognizes that the Democratic Party is being routed.
And yet are still in the minority on both sides of that building. You want to call that victory? That's like celebrating only 75 people being shot in Chicago over the weekend instead of 150.
Only in America can you be called a failure while receiving the most votes from the people. The EC ended up doing exactly what it was intended to prevent.
Well, that's a pretty stupid observation. She didn't get the votes that counted. The question is, Why? Everyone knowing how the U.S. Government works, how elections happen here and so on, understands you need to win the Electoral College vote. She didn't even make a real effort at getting the votes she knew she'd need. She stayed in areas that were a lock for the most part. How stupid is that? If you are guaranteed an NYC win, which generally carries the state, why spend valuable time campaigning there? A badly run, incompetent election run by the Democrats.
"A badly run, incompetent election run by the Democrats."
Which prevented another badly run, incompetent administration run by the Democrats.
A moron populist with 3 million less votes from the electorate was elected, based on the rural popularity of xenophobia, racism, homophobia, and general hate. There was a mammoth field of candidates to choose from, and the constituents went with the one who lies pathologically, has a well documented history of cheating, demeans entire demographics, and will most certainly govern against their best interests. Millions of them will eventually lose their access to healthcare that is anything close to affordable, which is the exact opposite of what he promised them. The framers of the Constitution are rolling in their graves. Americans will forever be remembered for that decision, throughout the world.

Wow Hal, you figure that the people who despise Hillary are deplorables too. Who knew.....Oh yeah, we all knew.
Xenophobia, racism, homophobia, and hate are deplorable. If that's not what you are teaching the kids in your avatar, I pity them.
And yet, each of your posts are an example of hate for those you deplore.
Lol. Some things are okay to hate. I hate rapists, Adolf Hitler, Martin Shkrelli, televangelists, and greedy liars like Donald Trump.
You are belaboring the obvious Hal. Sometimes that becomes necessary though.
Xenophobia, racism, homophobia, and hate are deplorable.
They certainly are. When you can actually prove some of them rather than making things up from misquoted, halfway quoted and twisted statements, your credibility may actually improve.
If you haven't accepted reality as proof yet, there will be no changing your mind. The narrative that Trump embodies all of that is not some fringe conspiracy, it's straight from his mouth and widely acknowledged. Maybe one day he will purposely walk in on your young daughter while she's changing for a beauty pageant, and comment on her nicely developing rack.
Truth hurts. It's easier for some to pretend.
Well, it's far easier to do that with the previous regime's stand on bathrooms and the like.
Are you still afraid that a masculine looking person with female parts will see your tiny penis?
Only in America can you be called a failure while receiving the most votes from the people
Only in America would someone declare it a success by getting the most votes in the wrong states. She'd be a riot on the basketball court, constantly throwing the ball through the wrong hoop and then declaring that she was the highest scorer.
... because politics is just like basketball. Talk about stupid.

The object of both is to win. And, yes, I'm talking about stupid . . . I called her by name.
The object is to win? Is that it? What happens after the votes have been counted? Sit back for four years and continually reflect on that single objective? If you're Donald Trump, yes.

No, the object is to lose because your candidate stinks, blame everyone else for losing, and then whine, scream, and march in the streets with pussyhats on your head for four years while Donald Trump looks out the window of the White House and bursts into laughter.
Your diseased obsession with Hillary Clinton has destroyed every shred of credibility you had on this forum.
Let's stack up your obsession with Clinton vs. your concern about the current president, who actually has power to damage the nation and the world.

In case you haven't noticed, I'm not seeking approval from you or anyone else. And I wasn't the one dressed as the grim reaper foretelling the end of life as we know it because that lying sack of shit lost the election.
And who derailed this whole Warren/Obama discussion anyway? That would be Arkansas Hermit. Helped down the bunny hole by Hal and JR. Have you guys found Wonderland yet?
Warren reminds me of Ted Kennedy she knows her target audience and it's not middle America. I think Trump can schlong her.
Mika bitch slaps fauxcahontas.
I can't stop these annoying ads from transferring with the YouTube link nor can I delete them. If Perrie (or someone else) could delete them or tell me how to block them that would be great.
I tried to delete it and can't. Sorry! D.
