Quote:Yes you hate the guy. So very much. This is nothing new. 

 

Many people, including myself, are disappointed he did next to nothing in regards to the things he ran on. What's your point? You still don't like him and what, you think people that are disappointed will start to hate him like you? People thought he might be different than the average guy running for the office. Clearly people were wrong. You guys can enjoy being smug about him not being different all you want but that does not change that people actually thought he would bring change and voted for him for that reason.

 

What's my point? 

 

The guy is a liar.  I think that's a pretty clear point. 

 

I don't hate Obama.  I simply saw him for the empty suit he was leading up to the 2008 election.  But, much like 2008, that fresh new candidate, Hillary Clinton, will be derailed and sent packing by the next empty suit in line the democrats can trot out there.  O'Malley is waiting in the wings for the call. 

 

Smug about him not being different?  You're disappointed that he turned out to be more of an imperial president than his predecessor. 

 

I don't celebrate the fact that I was right about this guy.  I worry for the future of this country because I think what we've experienced over the past 5 years is nothing more than an orchestrated plan.  I worry that the damage done by this administration and the last to restrict our liberty and chip away at our constitutional rights has gotten to the point where there's no way to reverse what they've done. 

 

This president had an opportunity to unify this country in a way none before him possibly could have, and he squandered that, and actually put more of an emphasis on a more antagonistic approach, spinning up racial tensions and trying to pit one economic group against another.  From the New Black Panthers incident in 2008 to the police "acting stupidly" to "If I had a son..." to his tacit repudiation of the tactics being used in Ferguson, if there's a way to unify at times of discord, this guy tends to go the opposite direction creating more turmoil.  He comes by it honestly based on his political philosophy and his background as a "community activist."

 

He opines regularly about income inequality, and his lemming supporters regurgitate it almost instinctively now.  The problem?  The income gaps between the haves and have nots has accelerated under his presidency.  He talks about income equality between men and women while his own administration is guilty of paying women less for the same jobs that men do. 

 

This president had the chance to create a great legacy, and in every possible instance, he took the other path, assuring that he would go down in history as one of the most divisive, incompetent presidents to ever sit behind that desk.  Jimmy Carter is doing cart wheels.
