when the corporations have more say in what they can do in this country than our governmental agencies.

I just read Obama's speech from last night where he passed the torch to Hillary. He goes on and on and on about how she is the one to continue his legacy.
Legacy? What legacy? Tell me what he has done to help the people in this country from falling further behind. Income inequality has gotten worse on his watch, many more people are relying on government programs than any time since they first rolled out.
Here is a tidbit of speech. Read it carefully.

In a Democratic National Convention speech that was at turns emotional and blistering and ended with Clinton appearing by his side, Obama began with a recitation of his accomplishments in office ― reducing unemployment and saving the auto industry, passing health care reform, a nuclear agreement with Iran and the killing of Osama bin Laden.

He acknowledged problems that the country still faces ― people struggling with bills, an epidemic of gun violence ― but he also professed his strong belief in the country’s ability to fix its problems, even if “change is never easy, and never quick.”

"Change is never easy and never quick. Of course it isn't if you aren't working on it. Dear Mr. President, the people gave you 8 fucking years to fix this country's problems and you pissed them away.
The auto industry workers made huge concessions when you saved the auto industry, but the owners came out on top, right?
Your health care reform is a POS because you gave the insurance and drug companies everything they wanted and now some people are paying more for their insurance premiums then they are for their mortgages and STILL can't afford to see a doctor because their deductibles are too fucking high.
I noticed in your list of accomplishmet there isn't much about what you did for the middle class in this country, nor did you mentioned that you continued to piss away money on the failed war of terror that has seen the number of terrorists being higher now that when you entered office. Could that be because your administration is creating and funding them? I think so. And isn't it nice that our troops spent years in Iraq fighting against the AQ group that you are now funding in Syria to help you overthrow Assad? I think if I had seen my friends killed or injured by them or had a family member killed by them, I would be rather pissed that they are now fighting alongside our troops. But that is what is so great about our media. If people didn't read alternative websites, they will never know what you are doing.
Hey, how is that build up to war with Russia coming?
Face it, you accomplished exactly what you were seElected to do when you came out of nowhere and became president.

Ok, this is so weird.
Last evening we had family over for our son's birthday party. My 76 y.o. MIL comes into the kitchen and asks if I've seen the convention coverage. I say not much, because it's all a sham. Did I hear Bill speak? Hillary? No, I reply, I wouldn't waste my time. Bernie? Yes, some of it. In regards to Bill: Yes, he is an excellent speaker, I say. His delivery is excellent, but what he says is awful. (Weak point, I know!) Oh, you should like her VP pick though! No, I don't. He's for the TPP and worse yet, he's a union-busting corporatist who is in favor of "right to work" policies. ***Note, her son, my husband, was lucky enough to be hired into a company in early June that offers full benefits. We haven't had benefits of our own through employers for 7 years! He's a member of a union for the first time in his working life. He's been working out of town since then and will be leaving for Minneapolis on Sunday for 2+ weeks. This hasn't been exactly easy on me.
So I'm not saying my MIL is stupid, because she's not. But she used to be a reporter for our local paper, a fairly large paper, so she's all about language, how to use it, and more importantly, how to dig for details to the story! I would think she'd be more informed, but she's got cable so I guess she's getting propaganda'd.
Oh, but she's an independent she states. I say I wouldn't support a Dem if they cheat and lie (quickly summarizing HRC's past) and why would I???
She declares: well, I'm not going to talk to you about this anymore! Ok, I say, I didn't bring it up-you did!
I got a high five from my husband.
Co-workers, family, etc., just gotta love 'em still...or tolerate them as is my case.

Alphalop, I wish I had the courage to tell her I don't support people who fuck me over. But that would've spoiled the party possibly and got me in hot water with my husband. But that seems to be my one thought this morning!!!

Thanks for letting me vent!

Edited: forgot to remove "eom" in subject. Forgot to add I told her I would not be voting Dem this election or anytime in the near future.
