In that case Obama as a person was more responsible than Trump who signs whatever the Heritage Foundation puts in front of him. Trump isn't responsible for anything then. His GOP lobby can be blamed and he can be absolved.

Yeah nope, I agree with TheReturnOfPEB now, you're just being racist. Blame the man for things he actually did, not whatever this is.

When your favorite billionaire defender turns out to be a bad person, simply call other people racist. Great argument.

Yeah, noone can say if you're racist or not just from this. You do have some sort of hate-boner for Obama though. I don't know what he did to personally hurt you, but I hope you eventually heal from it.

I don't think America has had a morally good president in a very long time. Since sometime before Regan. I enjoyed the sense of stability that Obama brought to the people and nation. I view him as doing a decent job overall and if we want to point fingers, the Senate is who really failed the American people that cycle; Mitch McConnell in particular.

Obama did little to hurt me personally. He hurt a lot of other people.

Some people have a thing called empathy.

Oh, look. A personal attack without contributing more to the discussion. The exact thing you complained about happening to you. Wooooooow

Empathy =/= White-Knight anger. You're only demonstrating the latter, not that you necessarily lack the former.
