I like Obama, but his favoritism towards the finance "industry" really hurt us. He could have bailed out main street or Wall Street. When they (the financial industry) were bailed out, did they bail out their customers? No, they foreclosed on those properties (many backed with fraudulent mortgages ) and then turned their non-loss into a gain. They retained all of those properties, becoming some of the largest landlords in the US. They keep home ownership out of the hands of new home owners. If the Democratic Party actually wants to start winning again in 2018 and beyond, the speech was a bad move( for the party).
As far as Ossoff, when I saw him on cable news, he seemed to be extremely cautious about appearing liberal at all. He was speaking about foreign policy in a manner that wasn't that different from other moderate politicians of both parties. That made me think he wasn't that interested in Sanders public support. Surely he would have it by now if he wanted it, unless having a NYC liberal socialist say he wasn't liberal is exactly the support he wanted.
