Bill Maher asks the President some questions that are not often asked him. Like legalizing pot, which President Obama doesn’t really answer but…
There is one thing that our democracy usually does well – well only is if those with manure on their boots and Fox News in their heads stay in their barns – that politicians will change when the wind blows from a majority of people who are known to vote.
Obama’s changing view on Gay Marriage was the perfect example, though I am sure he was always for it privately, publicly it was not politically wise until the polls changed. Even some Republicans will pay attention to it, again acceptance of gays came fast and is no longer one of their screeching points.
Sadly because of too many nitwits listen only to talk radio, Fox News and seldom leave their bubble of Right-wing swill and get no real information, Global warming has not yet tipped the tables. But something else secondly important to that may finally go our way.
In a few days if the end or America is avoided and we see Madam President Elect, the next day is time to go full on into the push for a single payer health care system. Hillary knows the subject well. She should put Bernie in charge to help make the case, and with 60% of Americans NOW on for it, that could go up enough for Republicans in the non gerrymander districts to change their tune. It is long overdue and the only people against ti are either white racists who refuse to give a nickle to African Americans and the word “socialism.” Problem is of course that this election has shown us that there are about 50 million of them who vote.
Things haven’t changed in thousands of years, it’s still the fight between ME and WE with historic success siding with those nations who sided on the WE side.
