It must be hard for Obama to watch this happen to our country.

He knew about the Russian interference, the investigation into Flynn, and the depths to which Trump sank when attacking him and Hillary before he took office.

I know that he does things by the book and is letting this play out. But I can't believe its not difficult for him.

I don't think any of this shit would be going on now if she had been elected in 2008.

There is a reason Putin feared her, it's like she was the only one who could stop him

No doubt it does hurt him, but on a personal level -- money, medical care -- he and his family are okay. It's the rest of us who are filled with increasing dread about our personal futures.

Or "an eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth"

Take your pick

I would choose the latter at this point.

Thing is when they went low they took us all down.

Our country is now run by wife beaters, nazi sympathizers and russian stooges

Couldn't get any lower than that

For Obama here?

I’m sure he’s sick about it and I worry. Could take years off his life. AA men and women have shorter life expectancy in US.

Though he and Michelle looked MAHVELOUS today!
