President Obama has righted the ship, set it on a course and the country is stronger and better today than at any time in recent history. He is worried about any return of regressive policies that will not only cost people their hard earned dollars or SSI funds when paying for Medicare rather than INSURED of it's rock solid backing of it's recipients and might return their sons and daughters to war.
He stated this to an audience because they have to carry his worries with them. He didn't state this to the Democratic conference in an election hall or a meeting of the Democrats already in Congress. He carried this message to the people that care about the country and it's accomplishments during his presidency.
I am sure he doesn't expect every Democrat to march in lock step with his agenda. But, when Republicans state the Democrats are carrying the President's policies back to Washington through the magic of the election box they are incorrect. Every Democrat thinks for themselves, are sworn to take care of the people that elected them and every state in "...this United States..." is uniquely different from each other. In that there is no rubber stamp for any Democrat.
The Republicans can state they never voted with the President's policies and they mostly are not lying, but, then what Republican ever voted at all? Did they uphold their loyalty to the people of their state? Not really. They held loyalty at bay to be sure the elections would still bring in more money than the previous. The people were not to be benefited by a vote for moving the country forward, but, held in abeyance in fear they were losing their democracy to socialism. The ideology is intact.
