OK, well maybe you can answer these questions then.

Did he pay Hush Money to a porn star, the week before the election? Did he have a 2-year affair, and pay off a tabloid, with Hush Money to cover it up? Did he blame all his failings on the previous Administration, day-in and day-out? Did the deficit go up, or go down during his tenure? Did the amount of renewable energy in the US, go up or go down during his tenure? Did he talk about Locker Room Banter?

Larry Sinclair

Donald Young

Yes he blamed all his failing on the opposition party.

He doubled the debt.

No locker room talk because his was a Gay bath house.

Then there's Solyndra

He used government resources against his political opponents, he's worse than Nixon.

Yes, Solyndra was a failure. Cost the taxpayers $535 Million. This versus the Bush/Cheney Iraqi War, which cost the taxpayers over a Trillion $. Quite a few more ZEROES behind that figure. And by the way, much of that trillion was passed onto Obama, along with a banking/housing crisis, a bankrupt US auto industry, CEO corruption gone amuck, a deflated stock market, etc, etc. Once Obama fixed all that mess, he started bringing the Bush/Cheney deficit down nicely.

Oh, wow! Look at that graphic. And now Chump is skyrocketing the deficit again. Partisan lies do nothing for your credibility.

He campaigned. That's allowed. But why provide a link, when you can just regurgitate something you heard from FAUX News?

The IRS scandal wasn't "campaigning". If you don't know about it, maybe you shouldn't be commenting as your political knowledge isn't what it should be.

Not to mention all the holes in the Trump investigation into collusion. It looks like the FBI and CIA made a lot of effort to get Trump campaign people to bite on false information at one end to start the investigation at the other end.

Just a slight correction on CEO corruption, Obama didn't fix that, he made it worse. By signaling to the financial sector the government would be there to clean up their mess and allowing comingling of the banking types, he made it MUCH worse.

GW Bush executed the worst hand off since the Great Depression. He had 8 years to figure things out. It was truly horrible. Now Trump is continuing with the similar policies, such as skyrocketing the deficit. Your boys have all 3 Legislative branches, and they can't even execute a balanced budget, much less reduce the deficit. But keep blaming Obama.

Historians are going to like Obama and hate Trump.

That's they way it is now, and that's how it will stay.

Yeah, I know about it. The person responsible, and the one who resigned, was Lois Lerner. She was a lifelong Republican, and a GW Bush appointee.


Lois G. Lerner Selected as Director of IRS Exempt Organizations Division
IR-2005-148, Dec. 22, 2005
WASHINGTON — Lois G. Lerner has been selected as the director of the Exempt Organizations Division of the Internal Revenue Service. In this position, she will be responsible for administering and enforcing the tax laws that apply to more than 1.8 million organizations recognized by the IRS as exempt from tax.
“Protecting the integrity of tax-exempt organizations is an important part of our enforcement program,” said IRS Commissioner Mark W. Everson. “Lois’s background, including her work for the Federal Election Commission, qualifies her for this new assignment.”
Before this appointment, Lerner had been the director of the Exempt Organizations Rulings & Agreements Division, where she was responsible for the EO determinations letter program, public guidance and technical assistance for IRS agents conducting examinations of tax-exempt organizations. Lerner came to the IRS in 2001 from the Federal Election Commission, where she was Associate General Counsel for Enforcement and Acting General Counsel. She replaces Martha Sullivan, who will retire from the IRS at the end of December.
“Lois is an integral part of the EO team and has successfully increased the IRS presence in the exempt community,” said Steven T. Miller, Commissioner of the IRS Tax Exempt and Government Entities Division, of which EO is a part. “Her integrity, skills and judgment are exceptional and will allow us to continue to provide improved service and enhanced enforcement of the tax laws.” Lois G. Lerner Selected as Director of IRS Exempt Organizations Division

Obama was a bad president. I'm sorry for democrats who think all past presidents should be also called bad presidents just to be fair to Obama.

Your opinion. He was a breath of fresh air between two incompetent presidents.

Sorry, swing and a miss. The Senate report on the IRS scandal outlines her political outlook and her lack of concern for conservative political groups.

Historians are already fine with Obama and already scratching their heads with Trump.

- Trump's 61% unfavorable score in 2016 is the worst in presidential polling history and is the result of his poor personality and lack of platform.

- He has the worst First-100 days on historical record, proving that he had no real agenda.

- Having no real agenda, he simply defaulted to rolling back all things Obama in order to please his FOX News viewing sheep, which did injected an unnecessary and unsustainable boost to the economy that is largely centered around the wealthy.

- As a populist outsider, he proves consistently that he has no patience for democratic institutions as he lashes out on the media, judges, and labels political opponents as actual enemies.

- His highly unprofessional Tweets involve immaturely insulting basketball players, media personalities, and politicians; and often enough merely regurgitate a FOX News headline.

- Having inherited the GDP and the unemployment trend, he has accomplished largely nothing on his own in this department as he boasts undue credit.

- Since the GOP refused to consider an Obama nomination for a judge to the Supreme Court for an entire year, Trump's mission to fill two seats during this term would have been any Republican's mission. Had Trump not won in the General, Scalia's seat would still be empty.

- He tried to take credit for defeating IS, despite years of international focus.

- He tabled TTIP for a year, despite Russia's continual and exponential use of pipeline diplomacy.

- He killed PPT, leaving our Asian allies to form their own organization in order to try to repel and control China's geoeconomic aggression throughout the Pacific.

- His tax-cut would have happened under any Republican, but not all Republicans would have paired that with an increase in spending.

- GOP leaders had to contradict his whole-hearted support for Roy Moore, proving that morality has little to do with what guides him through life.

- Instead of attacking the need for immigration reform, he exacerbated outdated laws by supporting the separation of families for apparently no reason at all.

- He pushed for the deregulation of banks, which was an issue in the 1893 global economic crisis, the 1929 crash, and the 2008-09 melt down.

- He prematurely boasted about North Korea, even with the ongoing missile program, and allowed a dictator to make a fool of himself and the country.

- Virtually the entire Senate joined together to make a supporting statement to NATO before Trump arrived to the NATO summit to open his mouth and belch.

- He has consistently clashed with and denigrated allies and partnered global institutions while preserving shameful praise for the leadership of the most brutal and aggressive of dictators.

- He is a walking contradiction to his own 2017 National Security Strategy; and his behavior and arbitrary policies have weakened U.S. influence while empowering enemies.

- He has managed to get even our allies to condemn us and the UN to openly laugh and mock him over his delusional and misplaced false ego.

- His record number of lies over even the most mundane things are actually exponentially growing.

- He went from declaring just last year that a one state solution would work fine if both sides wanted it, contradicting two decades of American policy, to "I like the two-state solution" after Israel's Prime Minister recently helped him form what might be his own opinion. (I dropped this in as an example that demonstrates that he really has no idea what he is doing, what he believes in, or what is even going on).


Trump is a drunk driver, navigating himself through the waters of reality and lashing out because others won't drive on the sidewalk. What historians and social psychologists are going to really have to tackle is the perverse symbiotic relationship between himself and his blind loyalists, which allows him to exaggerate issues into a theme of false accomplishments. They will also not be kind when it comes to how the GOP has demonstrated their enthusiastic willingness to chip away at American democracy over the years.

Fortunately, the opinion of the "very" conservative and the "very" liberal have proven to matter very little, since those opinions are largely based on nothing and have everything to do with designed partisan ignorance and false blanketed ideology.

The last bad President was Jimmy Carter. The worst President in modern history has clearly been Donald Trump.

Opinions are like noses - everyone has one and all of them do not smell the same thing when put to the test.

Clearly. This is why a wise man would form an opinion based on the context of the facts, not how buffed out his partisan lens is.
