Barack Obama promised he would pass a single payer health care plan or at least a public option. He caved Barack Obama promised he would not extend the bush tax cuts for the rich. he caved Now it is appearing that Barack Obama will pass a budget that cuts medicare, medicaid, and social security after vowing not to in 2008. Barack Obama has good intentions and is not a bad guy. However, in these tough times we need a strong leader who will fight for the working people as hard as the republicans fight for billionaire donors and lobbyists. Bernie Sanders is one of the only people in Washington truly fighting and speaking for the majority of the American people. Senator Sanders would not compromise the working class over hostage threats from republicans. He would stand up and fight tooth and nail for us. We know this because he always has. Some are appalled at the notion, but ask yourself, is this the change you had in mind? Did you ever imagine in 2008 that Barack Obama would extend the Bush tax cuts, give health insurance companies millions more customers, and cut entitlements for seniors and the poor? I didn’t. That’s why I volunteered and voted for Obama. I am not a radical liberal. I just expected to have a democratic president. If you feel the same, please sign this petition and retweet. If Obama cannot fight for us like he promised, we know someone who will!
