Melissa Harris-Perry on Cornell West
Watched as she typed this and thought I'd share it with you all. I wish she would run for President in 2016.

I am so damn angry about that article @IamSauerkraut that I can barely talk. http://bit.ly/mqxgU9 -
Ok seriously @elonjames at this point @CornelWest is reminding me of #Trump. Bad hair and ridiculous critique of POTUS.
-
.elonjames There is plenty of room to criticize POTUS but not calling you back is not one of them. @cornelwest
-
But here is the problem @ihsanamin I don't want to ignore @CornelWest. I think he is an important prof but this Obama thing is off base.
-
That's why it reminds me of #Trump @ZerlinaMaxwell the attack is personal, vague, not rooted in policy.
-
As it should be! RT @Only4RM West: 'I couldn’t get a ticket [but] the guy who picks up my bags from hotel has a ticket to inauguration.'
-
Obama was always a moderate. Always. He was my state senator in Hyde Park and senator in IL. @elonjames
-
And excuse me, but he passed HCR, ended DADT, drew down troops in Iraq, killed a pirate & bin Laden. Looking good to me @elonjames
-
There are folks on the ground doing much more than alluding to policy. They are battling with administration. (cont) @Rizzz
-
But many of those folks still wouldn't attempt to eviscerate POTUS personally in this way. It's different (cont) @Rizzz
-
Listen, my husband is suing Obama's HUD right now. We have real beef. Make real public statements, work toward justice (cont) @Rizzz
-
But we don't insist that POTUS is unethical, immoral, misguided, etc, because he isn't. @Rizzz
-
1. I don't think that is the real point of West's critique & 2 that statement not quite true @r3dpi11
-
Sure, but that's different than saying his moral compass is off. Which is what West implies. @Rizzz
-
No @liamrulz I have not found Obama disappointing. But I wasn't looking for a savior, father, or brother in the WH, just a president.
-
Exactly. last time I looked there was an election & another coming up RT @elonjames if Cornel says oligarch or plutocrat one more damn time.
-
Make no mistake @mikashaye some of my criticism of @CornelWest IS personal because of his personal attack on POTUS
-
I dislike the act of moral superiority when one's life reveals the complicated, messy, failings that ALL of us have. @mikashaye
-
This is the article that has me worked up re @CornelWest & POTUS. http://bit.ly/mqxgU9

Ok now you have asked for it (SMILE) I'm going to give my "normal curve" lecture from American Politics 101. @jeremymeyers #smallLeft
-
No @jeremymeyers I think the Left is horribly truncated in this country. Progressive will have hard time on nat'l level. Local is different.
-
I have been asked to explain what I mean by "the USA has a truncated Left" I'm about to do a tweet lecture. Mute me if you must. #smallLeft
-
One of the basic assumption of US elections is that attitudes are distributed on a normal curve. See pic http://yfrog.com/gzyi9g #smallLeft
-
We except most voters to have moderate opinions and fewer to be out on the far left or far right. #smallLeft
-
Whoops, we expect most voters to have moderate views with fewer in far left or right. Thus the curve with hump in middle. #smallleft
