There is no more regretful administration than Obama's. With the goddamned Emmanuel, they threw away the congressional majority in 2010, the most crucial electoral failure in modern US history, since we are still climbing out of that hole and may not make it (back when Democrats had 30 state legislatures) because they limited support to "sinnable" candidates rather than keep the 50 state plan, and tanked Obama for America just when the Republicans switched on the "Tea Party" With Howard Dean in charge, the Democratic majorities would have been defended, and think what could have been done the past 12 years.

Dean would have been a fine POTUS. The cause of his exclusion was ridiculous.

Certainly a better candidate than Kerry turned out to be. I admit I was for Kerry, having met him at the GI antiwar movement demonstrations in DC back in 1971. But the Mark I 1970 model Kerry was far different from the Mark 5 2004 model.

I also voted for him even though I suspected the stuffings had already been knocked out of him by the evil swiftboaters.
