Obama will always be my litmus test for what I want in a President.

I think, 100 years from now,historians will understand how truly great a President he was/is. He inspired. He was - no drama Obama. He employed smart, honest people to represent us. No friggen indictments in 8 years - and Republicans had House majorities. They chose to focus on character assassination of the Honorable Hilliary Clinton.He was smart and decisive when hi had to be.

He inherited a Republican financial nightmare....remember how Bush pumped money into cheap home mortgages in 2003? Trying to get his "ownership" economy as his selling point in 2004? At the same time, financial institutions were bundling and losing connection to the people getting mortgages? Yeah, financial anal lock-up. McCain would have finished us, but he wasn't smart enough to pick a competent VP...so I have no doubt things would have been in permanent "TILT".

Thank fucking God for Obama. And how does the Republican Party counter? Don Trump.

They are an organized crime party, and I am convinced it is a wholly only subsidiary of the Putin Crime Machine.

Russian has 1/2 of the economic output of California. But they own 1/2 of the US political oxygen. Time to elect a fierce Democrat who wiil confront this fundemental problem head-on. Everything else is a piece of cake.
