I seem to remember a time when I felt very let down. I want to say it was around the time that Obama's second term was starting, there was a reporter asking if Obama was going to push for LGBT rights and Obama gave a pretty unambiguous "No."
TBH, Obama has almost no claim to the progressive mantel. He also urged Joe not to run in 16 to "make way for Hillary", supposedly. In a way, I'm coming to view Obama is a kind of inverted magic 8 ball where you should always do the opposite of what it says. It's bad enough that Obama urging Joe to drop out made me stop and think if I was wrong to want Joe to step down for Kamala.
