Let’s cut right to the chase: James Comey should have been fired immediately following his disastrous press briefing last July, in which he candidly laid out the case against Hillary Clinton over her mishandling of classified information and then refused to recommend charges. Overstepping his authority while radiating sanctimony, arrogating power while clumsily intervening in the election, Comey deserved to be sacked on the spot.

I found the info in paragraph # 4 to be especially interesting. I fully agree with the article and wonder why Trump didn't fire this bum from the start! Trump does have the will to act, that the coward Obama, never had!
Obama's biggest strength was promoting Islam and bashing the local police, at every juncture.
 
The fact that you "wonder why Trump didn't fire this bum from the start!"* tells us all we need to know about the depths of your analytical skills.
Your pivot to Obama is outright pathetic.




*For your edification....
Trump believed he "owed Comey" for helping him come within three million votes in the general election.

By the FBI's Deputy Director's own admission Comey enjoyed 'broad support' within the FBI and he indicated that working alongside Comey was an honor. Before you start in with your given talking points about me, calling for his head because of what he did to Hillary, know that I did no such thing. I approved of Directory Comey. I had full faith in him to act as an independent investigative body and I look at his departure, and the botched execution of his firing, as a loss to America. Trump has set up a landmine situation.

Trump botched that firing. If Trump was competent, he could've avoided 90% of the political fallout. Now, he's backed into a corner, desperately tweeting nonsense, that is coming back to haunt him. Schiff's already calling for the tapes to be turned over to the House Judiciary Committee. If it's necessary he may subpoena their surrender of "the tapes". Trump will have to surrender the tapes or admit he made them up. Making Trump out to be the colossal fabricator in chief that he is.

My patience with Trump is at an end. This presidency is a sham.

Yes, I know Trump allowed him to stay on, because of Comey's help, but was it really his intent to help?

My analytical skills are enhanced by the info in paragraph # 4 with a list of incompetent missteps. I wonder why Obama picked Comey in the first place? Obama is part of the equation here, you can't deny that fact. For 8 years, I saw Obama berate the police or civilians, if there was a Black component or a Muslim component and always side with the Blacks or the Muslims. It started with the "beer summit" and went downhill after that. Why do you think that was? He also used his power within the Federal Govt. to target people everywhere, through the IRS, BATF, FBI and other agencies. If there was ever a person who didn't belong in the WH, it was Obama.

If there are anymore Obama people in the WH, or in high office in DC, Trump needs to fire them as well.

Wait! You list yourself as a Progressive. Does that mean from the beginning in November, you were hoping Trump would succeed and had confidence in him? I suspect not.
 
For 8 years, I saw Obama... (blah, blah, blah)

OK then.
Well next time, simply include Obama in the title of any thread wherein you intend to pursue your unhealthy obsession with him and his presidency...

That way you don't waste anyone's time who believes you actually want to discuss what you mentioned in the thread title.

I've always had a low opinion of Trump going back to his birther days. I gave him a chance, the same way you give a losing baseball team a chance. Americans are optimistic people, we don't want people to fail. But, all's Trump has demonstrated in the last few months is that he's the same douchebag he was last summer.

You're confusing cowardice with not being held accountable by his supporters. President Obama was held to a high standard by his supporters. President Trump supporters seem to not have any standards, demonstrating a willingness to support him even if he did ask the Russians to help him defeat Hillary.

I think we can go back and review his posts during the campaign to know the answer is no. :)

I look forward to your reminding us of all your posts criticizing President Obama and/or any compliment extended to candidate or President Trump.

A poster who lists their lean as 'other' and another poster listing their lean as 'undisclosed' criticizing a poster who actually lists their lean as 'progressive'. How very hypocritical of you .

I don't think many progressives ever supported Trump. Trump's support was more like regressives.

Trump allowed many to stick around after he was sworn into office. IMO an huge miscue.

What does, and I quote from your OP, "Obama's biggest strength was promoting Islam and bashing the local police, at every juncture" have to do with your OP title. You are guilty of derailing your own OP within your OP .

I think when you say Obama was a muslim, your lean is no longer undisclosed.

This opinion piece tracks very well with my opinion, though trying to equate Comey with MacArthur is a stretch.

A gift to the FBI?...more like a gift to the nation I say.

Their own tds---trump deflection syndrome---to either Clinton or Obama, etc. shows the level of desperation they feel not being able to keep up with defending trump.

As one who was in his junior year of college just after Nixon resigned, I know there's no way I can keep up with the news cycle 44 years later. I'm just letting it play out until the 2018 elections.

GOP's are barely covering deep red CDs right now in special elections. Gaining 24 house seats is mission one; holding serve in the senate is mission two; going after 27 GOP governors is mission three; and going after state legislatures is the ultimate mission .

If the republicans continue to defend trump, democrats could possibly run againist the party of corruption

What a silly argutarian approach, but OK. Yes, Obama had the will to act, just more rationally than the Orange Hugeness. Comey, based on all of the evidence in the email case, acted providently and wisely. Trump's timing of the firing overthrows common sense, and Conway's defense is inappropriate.
 
OK then.

I did discuss what I posted, but there are other mitigating factors that play into that and Obama is a large part of that mess.
Not an unhealthy obsession about Obama in my opinion. Only observations of the obvious.;)

Americans are optimistic people, we don't want people to fail. But, all's Trump has demonstrated in the last few months is that he's the same douchebag he was last summer.

But, he is getting things done, quickly. In spite of the obstructionism of Democrats, from every angle, and even his own party.

I see it as just the opposite.
Those who would vote for a guy who hid his background, never gave up his college transcripts and associated with bomb makers, dissidents and radicals, have no standards in voting for him. The very reason I would never vote for Obama or anyone like him! High standard my ass! Like so many have pointed out over the years, Obama would never pass a background check for a local police department or security company, or even, the FBI. What amazes me is, there are many who would pay big money for an Obama speech. :screwy

Trump on the other hand is doing exactly what he said he would do. He has accomplished a great deal in his life. Is he a Gates or Buffet? No. Is he a Bernie Maddoff or Soros? Hell no! Trump has high standards as well, and promoting America First, Rule of Law(immigration) and family, are on top. Not Muslims first.

Mario, when you start making sense with objective evidence, let us know. The Obama Obama Obama craziness has been nonsense for nine years now. Hint: it is always going to be nonsense.

Is it? I have been up front that my political ideology, i.e. classical liberal or libertarian (small "L"), is not among the options for me to use. So 'other' is the only reasonable option open to me.

But I do think those who have been very consistent in their negative criticisms or downright hatred for something or somebody who now pretend to be 'giving up' on that same something or somebody because of something that happened recently are being pretty disingenuous.

Funny. That's how I see a great many of the anti-Trump crowd.

For Trump to use Clinton as a pretext to fire Comey...is like admitting that he wouldn't have won without Comey's interference. So it doesn't make sense for him to have used that for an excuse. But then he finally he admitted the truth during his interview with Lester Holt....that he fired Comey because of the Russian investigation.

And that my friends was an admission of guilt that he tried obstruct justice. Bye bye Trump.

I lost my patience somewhere in the cabinet appointment process. How did you last this long?
