In reply to the discussion: Obama Derangement Syndrome is Worse Than Ever [View all]Proud Liberal Dem
(24,406 posts)22. No kidding.
It's almost as though Obama is still President to these people and/or still doing things from beyond (wouldn't that be great if true?). The so-called "Party of Personal Responsibility" can't- or won't- take any responsibility for ANYTHING it seems. President Obama inherited a genuine mess from GWB back in 2009 but I remember him and his team getting to work pretty much right away trying to fix the problems leftover from the previous (mis-)Administration and not spending quite so much time assigning blame and cursing his stars (unless he was being blamed for things that he shouldn't have been, which Republicans often attempted to do).

What elevated the Republican candidate to primary victory? FBI? I don't think so.

Oh, I agree. The primary was all about racism. In fact, I think Trump won because of it--
