Why?

A whole lot of people disliked President Obama ... for his apology tour, for his fake war against ISIS and the Taliban, for his stoking of our racial division, for his kowtowing to China and Russia, for his crony capitalism, for his pissing on Israel, for his funding Iran’s terrorism and nuclear ambitions, for his spending a trillion dollars on non “shovel-ready jobs,” for his attempt to kill our fossil-fuel industry, for his hollowing out of our military, for his attempt to take down his duly-elected successor, for his increasing our medical costs while reducing its quality, for his over regulation, for his multiple disruptions to our social norms, for his lackluster economic policies and for his general inatentiveness to his country’s progress.

Yet, we never ratched up our animus to anywhere near the white-hot hatred which has been directed toward the Orangeman by the left and the media (but I repeat myself) ... so, the question insists itself ... why?

Can you, kind readers, who find yourselves among the never-Trumpers, come up with a list of policy miscues for Trump that is anywhere near those posted above?

Again,, why the disparate hatred?

Erasing History

It seems evolving social norms periodically spawn good-for-nothing nihilists who feel compelled to show their contempt for past wrongs, real or imagined, by destroying any of their vestiges. These history-denying firebrands think that past monuments embody all the evil that current mores condemn ... therefore erasing them becomes a justifiable catharsis ... even though empty-headed ... like what we are currently seeing.

Knowing this trope, monument builders try to thwart future iconoclasts by building their tributes huge (Giza pyramids), high (Washington Monument) or beautiful (Mount Rushmore). Doesn’t always help ... view the above.

Obamanations

Since the Democrat candidates have sullied former President Obama in their recent debate, I guess it’s now OK to join the fray. It's only been 31 months since the worst president of our lifetime has left office into hyper-wealth ... and the outline of his legacy is beginning to be written by historians ... and far-left Dems. Let me help them with my thoughts of his, can I use the word, obamanations? Here are a few of my cringe-worthy recollections:

- A fake $831 billion “stimulus” package ... no real “shovel-ready jobs”

- Obamacare ... in all its gory

- The Iran nuclear deal which gave it hundreds of billion dollars in which to sponsor terrorism in the Middle East, cooperate with North Korea in its drive toward an atomic Armageddon, and still pursue its own nuclear/missile ambitions.

- Inviting the Muslim Brotherhood to the White House multiple times ... the MB is a Muslim terrorist organization

- Conveniently ignoring China’s unfair trade practices ... and pushing the TPP

- An eight -year neglect of our anti-missile technology development ... leaving us seriously unprepared for Kim Jong Un's madness.

- Allowing US manufacturing to die a slow death — no “magic wand”

- The exchange of five highest-level Taliban commanders for that Army deserted, Bowe Bergdahl

- The Paris Climate Accord in which the US carried almost the entire responsibility

- Continually demeaning the US and our potential

- Sham "surge" in Afghanistan for political purposes. It did nothing ... mainly because of inane rules of engagement.

- Refusing to recognize domestic radical Islamic terrorism

- The hollowing out of our armed forces.

- Treating ISIS as the JV team ... using more inane rules of military engagement.

- Weaponizing US intelligence agencies against the Trump team

- The commuting of Chelsea Manning's 35-year sentence for treason.

- His opening to Cuba ... for which we got damaged diplomats and more problems with Venezuela.

- The paying of at least $1.6 billion in cash to Iran for two hostages

- And a whole lot more ...

Now no president can accumulate this many screw-ups without some winners. Unfortunately I can't recall any.
