No you have it wrong. Trump is bringing the alt right Nazis out of the woodwork and empowering them. The incident in Charlotte is a prime example. THAT is what's dividing the country, not Obama or progressives.

It's only due to billionaire-financed right wing media that you somehow turn his accomplishments into "identity politics".

A problem solver looks to where the biggest problems are - and works on them.



The primary reason Republicans control every level of state and federal government is that "signature piece of legislation."

Unfortunately, Obama is trying to destroy democracy
I believe that he is acting in the logic of slaves and does not act in the logic of the free
Because the free respects himself and makes room for others who are better than him
I think Obama's party seems to have failed
Because he can not create an alternative leadership to Obama
Obama must respect himself and leave politics

It is not the job of the American president, nor the job of the American people, nor America's government, to put an end to foreign regimes. There is absolutely nothing about doing so that has anything to do with the land of the free. If we are free, we are the land of the free. It, for better or worse, does not matter if North Koreans are not free when we're talking about what make America great.
I don't care if they're free. I just care that their current leader strikes me as someone who would burn the place down if people don't take him seriously, like those kids at Columbine. Why does China feel it's necessary to have someone like that as a buffer? Wouldn't a North Korea that makes things and treats their citizens at least as well as China be better? (I know China isn't great on the human rights front either, but they're a lot better to Kim Jong-un.)

This is great news for Trump.

I can't wait to watch Obozo do his fake jog up the three stairs to the podium like he always does. You know how he gestures his arms like he's running but he's actually moving no faster than a slow walk.

Obama left America on the longest run of job and economic growth in recent history.

There are indeed a lot of bitter, angry folks, and I can see where that is not a good feeling at all.

However, that's hardly his fault.

"And Trump Isn't Going To Like It"

If Obama opens is mouth, Trump will eat him for lunch just as he did the other 13 or so repub candidates for president.

And let's NOT forget the twice loer Hillary, "the smartest woman in the world' the left media claimed.

Over 1,000 LOST political seats under Obama.

Yeah, let him talk!

I'm not entirely sure, but I think they are referring to that guy who occasionally sleeps in the WH. But, I could be wrong, because he sure isn't a leader..........he just plays one on TV.
