In reply to the discussion: Obama Unveils Unity Fund To Build A Strong Party To Topple Trump [View all]Hekate
(90,617 posts)16. Well Obama himself was not sworn in while astride a unicorn & waving a magic wand
...I remember that particular bitter battle here at DU for 8 long years, as he was accused of spelunking and bus-ejection daily.
All the while he was actually laying the groundwork for one accomplishment after another, like gays in the military and gay marriage around the country.
All the while the GOP was fulfilling the oath they made on Inauguration Day: to oppose every freaking thing Obama said and did, from "My what a nice day" onward.
Frankly, I think the lens with which I will look at Barack Obama's current and future efforts is the same one I used for his presidency.
How about you?

I liked him as a human being (not a deity) and as POTUS, & I still trust his intentions...
