I'm going to miss NODRAMA OBAMA!!!!!

No investigations, no one from his administration having to resign because of corruption. No investigations of his own corruption, no personal scandals. This is not saying anything negative about the Clintons. It's just that I know the absolute shit storm that is coming because of the right's hate for any and everything Clinton. So fasten your seat belts because I fear politics are only going to get worse once Hillary is elected. This election has made me loathe politics, something I very much once loved and my loathing is only going to get worse as signaled by Rethuglicans already saying get ready for Clinton investigations.

I knew about the long history of obstruction for the Clintons, and I assumed that Obama had a better chance of getting things done with Republicans.

Boy, did I ever get my eyes opened. They conspired to block his efforts right from the start!

We know how the Republicans will behave. I just hope Clinton fights back aggressively. I love Obama, but he didn't fight publicly enough against our enemies outside of election time.
