I have to do this all the time. I picked the items I did because Obama did not need the Congress to do any of them.

Trump has it all. I'm waiting for the better, cheaper healthcare that will cover everyone. Not so much.
No excuses he has both houses of Congress.
Obama had both when we got the crap that was Obamacare. I do not support Trump but for the life of me I do not understand the double standard.

If Obama had stopped the wars like he promised he would do (and he did not need Congress to do this), if he had not got us involved in new wars (which he did not ask Congress to approve) if he had prosecuted the bankers like he promised (which he did not need Congress to do) and had not handed over health care to Wall Street, we do not have a President Trump.

Those who looked the other way and refused to hold Obama to his promises gave us Trump. How can Obama supporters expect Trump supporters to do what they would not do?

Unless I'm mistaken, Obama is no longer president. He had good policies and bad ones just like every other president. Some I agreed with some I didn't. But I don't recall him attacking a former president without having a single piece of evidence to back it up.

And what happened with him meeting with Obama at the time of transition and announcing, "He's a good man"?

Now he's got a bug up his butt about him and is wasting time with this high school stuff? Get to work, Mr. President. You made a lot of promises that got you elected, so put down the damn phone and get to work.

I'm not about to start accusing Trump of intelligence. Sure I've seen many an unexpected flash of brilliance, but for the most part my opinion of him hasn't changed much in the last two years. He's a bully, a blowhard and a loudmouthed idiot. But hey, that's just my opinion.

I do think that the Left is setting themselves up for bad things. By absolutely freaking out every single time Trump says something that annoys them even slightly, they're rapidly getting the American people sick of scandal. I'd rather have the American people actually paying attention when Trump does something significantly bad if and when that ever happens. But the American people may have already stopped listening at that point. Stop screaming yourself hoarse with outrage at small stuff.

I will say that Twitter is a lousy platform. 140 characters to convey an articulate and profound statement? Not sure that's even possible. But hey, it's Trump's decision.

Perhaps a microwave oven can't spy on you, but be careful ladies, because this can...

Pehaps Sessions should broaden the investigation to include the Trump's sex toys.

Well, assuming that a microwave oven could take photographs (which, of course, they can't...), I can think of a possible security breach in the case of The POTUS. What if a spy was able to secure the secret formula for his orange spray-tan?

Surely that might compromise our national security!
