The Wielding Truth

11. Yea, that's it. Or even. Our country lost when Trump played a crooked hand and took the Presidency.

Bernie would have made a huge difference. We would be on a much better path. Hillary should be our President. Just think of the incredibly competent people she would have brought in with her. Citizens United might have been overturned soon and we would be working in every sector to tackle the problems of climate change.

Health care would have been closer to universal coverage and accountability would be a actuality. A woman President would have been fine. Intelligence compassion and an understanding of government would have been so satisfying to see.

President Barack Obama brought us out of the stinking hole of incompetency that Bush and his rich friends at wall street lead us into and we really needed another leader to do the things a responsible person of great character would of had to do to keep us strong.

That is why the ones who want to own this country and us in it, hated the progress that our President Obama made. They wanted to herd us into groups of frightened irrational hot heads and rob us blind again.

Thank you Obama for all you and your administration did to help us. I hope that we are strong enough to reestablish our democracy after this group of manipulative salesman will have to move on when we stop buying their lies.
