The Republicans and Fox News have been strong enough during his entire administration to block many of the changes the President was pursuing to improve the lot of the middle class. If you think the middle class would thrive with most of the slime ball Republican candidates (not Trump or Carson fortunately) you have been drinking the cool aide this time. And if you are going to mention Clinton, why not point out that he was the one that removed the legislation to limit greedy Wall Street risky deals that brought the whole economy down - one of his most stupid moves ever - not just Monica. Like I said, I am not a dyed in the wool Democrat and used to be a Republican years ago, but no more. Fortunately the public is getting a little more savvy. My preference would be that the nominees of the Democrats and Republicans would be Sanders and Trump. Either one being elected would send a message to all the politicians on the take. My point was that the President doesn't deserve all the crap he gets. If folks here want to send their kids to the middle east to fight in those never ending wars, have at it. I say the President is right to limit our troops being on the ground over there, as it would be a never ending battle with lost American lives for nothing and tons of wasted money. Let them destroy themselves - their beliefs ensure that will happen. But I know I am in the minority on this site, and that is fine with me.
