I still love ya Obama, but you played way too nice.
I know you believed right to the end (or desperately wanted to) in that there was no blue America, no red America but you were wrong. You were in charge of keeping America safe. Instead, while you still held power, you helped Trump by publicly backing Comey and saying he was an honorable man, instead of calling him out and demanding the info be released. You didn't want to go out on a distasteful note, and avoid any hint of being portrayed as partisan or worse, the 'angry black man', but this moment in history transcended that concern, or should have.
