He was a useful tool of the EU and the Haus of Saud.
His mom jeans and talk down to you speeches bored me to tears!
I still think it's funny how people want to hold that up like he's some great leader. All he was good for was political payoffs!
I prolly dislike Trump about as much as you dislike Obama...but neither of us will be around when history decides who was the better/worst President...there are some scholars who use objective criteria, beyond speaking styles and tones of voice, but I think that matters to some, or Ross Perot woulda done better...
Constitutionally, every President should be able to nominate a qualified person of his choice to fill a vacancy on the SCOTUS, and have the Senate advise and consent...the cons who controlled the Senate refused to even acknowledge Obama's nomination...the same cons who say the Constitution is the sacred law of the land...
does that set a precedent for the next time when a GOP President selects a qualified person to fill a SCOTUS vacancy and the Dems have a majority in the Senate? I think that's the reason that McConnell now has flip-flopped...but bad precedent should not be followed...
Realistically, there isn't much chance of a Blue Wave changing the composition of the Senate in the Dems favor in the upcoming mid-term elections...too many mod Dem voters were bought off by the Trump crumbs that were thrown to the middle class and the poor in the tax cut for the rich and for corporate America...
