LOL!

Medicare and SS have been issues long before 2017.

Don't count on either, if you aren't already taking advantage of one & collection on the other, and have a good decade or two until you "can".

Why didn't Obama fix it all?

If his beef (that concluded in his assertion that Trump is not a legitimate PEOTUS) was that the Russians hacked voting machines and thus interfered with the actual voting, that would be a legitimate beef IF true. But that ISN'T what he is asserting. His beef/assertion is that Trump is not a legitimate PEOTUS because the Russians hacked Podesta/DNC/etc. e-mails and that that ruined Hillary's candidacy . Lewis, and many others among your fellow progressives want to distract away from the content of the e-mails, and instead want people to focus on the hack/that the content was revealed. Ridiculous. If those e-mails had been devoid of the reprehensible content that was revealed, they wouldn't have hurt Hillary at all. The reprehensible composers of those e-mails, and their thoughts and actions that were revealed, in the minds of many, played a big part in unintentionally bringing Hillary down.

Oh yeah, let's blame everything on Obama. Why didn't previous presidents do anything. Medicare does not need to go on a voucher system that Ryan wants. Do you know what that means for our seniors

Lewis deserves respect but Trump doesn't respect anyone. Well maybe Putin

John Lewis' opinion is illegitimate.

His "explanation" of his opinion was "Russian hacking".

Which had what, exactly, to do with the fact that Hillary lost the election?

Didn't she win the POPULAR VOTE?

And Mr. Lewis? That hacking you are so concerned about happened under OBAMA's watch.

No one wrote those emails other than Hillary & her team.

Keep eating your tail, asshat.

What you do in the past, doesn't give anyone a pass for what they do in the present.

What is your solution?

What would you do re either if you woke up as POTUS on 1/21/17 rather than Trump?

Edit: Per your other post above, If vouchers aren't needed, what solution will work that doesn't include vouchers?

I should have also added that not only is who is criticizing Lewis irrelevant, If Lewis is wrong (which he is) re saying something nonsensical, it is irrelevant whether someone thinks Lewis' target doesn't deserve any respect....respect or no respect, what Lewis said is still nonsensical and incorrect. Lewis deserves respect for his contributions to civil rights, but that doesn't mean he should get blind infinite respect re all matters the rest of his life.
