Obummer actively spied on news reporters he didn't like. That asshole was a third world tin pot dictator in everything but name.
I dont think that is a fair assessment.
I mean, yes, Obama was a heavy handed President, 'strong' they call that when they like you.
But he really did save our ass with QE, and at the time I was really pissed about it, but I finally realized that he was doing like I was thinking needing done to recapitalize the banks while they held a bunch of derivatives they couldnt sell because they were technically of no value.
I'll give Obama credit when it is due. He did not think of the policy himself, I'm sure, but he recognized it as a good direction to go. With all due respect to our VP Pence, Pence would have let the financial industry and our entire national economy crash, and I *like* Pence.
