President Obama has probably been this best in my lifetime, but I still harbor anger at his refusal to hold war criminals to account (don't look back, lets just move forward) and failure to fight -- all out -- for the public option in the ACA.

The malignant narcissist-in-chief is despised. The things he is doing even more so.

At this point, I just hold the modest hope that more people running under the Democratic banner demonstrate the kind of principled strength that the people who support the party, and the the public, are desperate for.
