Hard to overstate how spooked Dem leaders in Obama’s first term were of the GOP narrative that they were fiscally reckless. Pelosi called for an “era of austerity.” Today it’s pretty clear the instigators of that cared less about ~the debt~ than finding a potent knock on Obama. — PolitiTweet.org

Sanders also clashed with Obama on this. Obama’s offer to cut Social Security and Medicare in a deficit deal circa 2011 led to Bernie suggesting he may need to be primaried in ‘12. The deal never happened, of course, and Obama moved to Bernie’s view by the end of his presidency. — PolitiTweet.org

We will not defeat Donald Trump with a candidate who advocated for cuts to Medicare and Social Security. https://t.co/avYbzoppN1

Good read from @aseitzwald on the many ways Mike Bloomberg opposed or criticized Barack Obama during his presidency — Obamacare, Wall Street reform, deficits, Iran deal, Paris accord, ability to lead, and a backhanded 2012 endorsement. https://t.co/CgdVmulMVi — PolitiTweet.org
