I admit, he had other priorities.  Taking down Obama wasn't his "sole purpose" or priorty.
But taking down Trump isn't this Democrat's only goal or priority either.

He specifically called it his "sole focus." Sole Focus. That means he is not just putting it first, he is willing to ignore working on any other legislation in favor of an investigation with impeachment as the goal in order to bring down Trump.

If you can't see the difference here from McConnell's statement ... well you clearly can't. You are just spouting Left Wing talking points. McConnell's statement was about policy, not about Obama personally. Obama personified the policy, and McConnell specifically said that if Obama was willing to cooperate, his (McConnell's) focus would change. The hatred of Trump is all about Trump, not about policy.

I admit that I did not notice the word "sole" was actually in the original until about 10 hours after I posted the rest of this. I don't know why I missed it, I read the word in the article but it didn't lodge in my mind. When other commenters here used the word I thought that that was their interpretation.
It's unlikely that he meant that literally. There must be more than one thing he would like to do with the power and position that he enjoys today.  None the less, that is what he said it even if he misspoke. The rest of this post is original...

It's ridiculous to claim that Obama personified his policies but Trump does not.  Either they both do, if you're the kind of person who sees politics as personal, or neither does, if you're the kind of person who sees politics as abstract.
I hope once 45 is out of office for whatever reason you might take a deep breath and remove the blinders.  You should feel relief.  Lying to yourself this much is tiring.  I've been there.
