ITT liberals who won't admit Obama was a traitor to everything he pretended to stand for.

Obama was a centrist who kowtowed to corporate interests. Obamacare was a gift to the insurance companies when we could have had M4A. That doesn't change the fact that calling him an "Uncle Tom" just because he's black is racist. Oh, also, fun fact, it's pretty hard to "dehumanize" a group when you're calling them "people".

Anyway, go "ree" into your navel, because I really don't care.
