Democrats Should Challenge President Obama in the Primaries

Democrats Should Challenge President Obama in the Primaries - Americans for Political Change

This President has not only failed the American people he has betrayed his party. It is the responsibility of true Democrats to challenge someone who acts more like a Republican. At the very least a challenger could force Obama to keep the promises he made in 2008.

What Democrats can do about Obama

What Democrats can do about Obama

Obama has ruined the Democratic Party. The 2010 wipeout was an electoral catastrophe so bad you'd have to go back to 1894 to find comparable losses. From 2008 to 2010, according to Gallup, the fastest growing demographic party label was former Democrat. Obama took over the party in 2008 with 36 percent of Americans considering themselves Democrats. Within just two years, that number had dropped to 31 percent, which tied a 22-year low.
