...of the first African American President the center of all their actions since they simply couldn't tolerate a a non-white President being their intellectual, moral and political superior, and all their racism and efforts to sacrifice anything, including their country, to denigrate him have only raised his stature while pointing more and more to what small worthless aberrations they themselves are.

and absolutely true.

He is even more beloved now than ever before because of the stark contrast between a real leader and the worst of humanity that we see in our White House currently.

President Obama is still my President. We don't really have a leader or President now, so I just look to Obama for leadership and to say with sincerity what is true and morally right.

Our national nightmare, created by 77,000+ dotards, can only mend if they get engaged and promise never to elect another conservative politician again. ENOUGH!

Even the dopes who voted for tRump and other conservatives don't want to take the blame for their actions. They want to wash it all away like it wasn't their fault. BULLSHIT! It's 100% their fault! They voted to punish their fellow American for electing a half-white man as president and there was no way they were going to follow that up by electing a woman, even one as statesman-like and experienced as Hillary Clinton!!! They need to be shamed.

The Arctic is on fire and melting. Mass shootings rage on. Wages stagnate for the middle-class, but leap for the 1%. Shame on conservatives everywhere!

THAT is straight from the mouth of Ted Nugent, who once called President Barack Obama a "sub-human mongrel."

You listening, Ted ?

As opposed to the current low standards of simply not shitting oneself or shooting a percieved enemy from the podium.

On edit: I don't generally care for scatological references, but as Trump is the shittiest pResident in history, it's hard to avoid them when discussing him
