[@audience7264]

@Johnny Tyronne you mean the time when obama wore a yellow suit & fox news went off its rockers? It's crazy no one in Obama's administration ever went to jail for that, or anything for that matter. How many people from the trump administration got indicted & went to jail? Hmmm...makes you wonder, doesn't it?

[@audience7264]

@Son Gohan trump not even close to a good leader. Get outta here with your bs. Not good at anything except for fooling your stupid @$$. Administration corruption & turnover, lies lies & more lies, inherented a recovering economy from obama & let covid destroy it. Nothing but corruption & greed the last 4 years. Let this blue tsunami be a lesson for you, as the Democrats fix conservative messes once again. Bill Clinton fixed Bush's senior mess, obama fixed bush's jr mess, Biden fix trump's mess.

[@audience7264]

@Son Gohan so much corruption. The reason why he hasn’t been indicted is because the doj won’t indict a sitting president. There’s a sealed indictment sitting with the sdny for campaign finance in which Cohen went to jail for. Waiting for the day for the day when Trump is no longer president to be unsealed. Not too long now, just 3 more months. Count on it.

[@audience7264]

@Son Gohan I just gave it to you fool. He broke campaign finance laws to gain the presidency. You gonna continue to do stupid? How about emoluments laws? Ever heard of that? Look it up. How many Trump officials went to jail? Not even the Nixon administration had this much indictments against them. Corruption, corruption, corruption. You wanna talk about Obama corruption, so where’s the indictment again Obama officials? Not a single 1. Get outta here with your stupid.

You mean the failed impeachment that we knew was going to be attempted since before Trump was even sworn into office? Or did you mean the second one that wasted even more of your tax dollars?

[@dymoniquetaft6042]

Who's here in 2020 wishing? How did we go from graceful to grudgingly in a blink of an eye?

[@Emerica771]

You go from graceful to grudgingly by having the media attack the president before even taking office starting November of 2016 and by having the Democratic Party talk about impeachment before the president has even been sworn into office.. Having President Obama utilize the FBI to investigate the Trump campaign on behalf of Hilary Clinton doesn’t help either. They created the divide and polarization before Trump even took office, setting the tone for the next 4 years and ultimately paving the way for Biden.

[@arkadeyellow2931]

Most Americans now know how lucky they were too have Obama for 8 years. Sadly, there are Americans who refuse to see any good in this great man.

[@gregorypierson8232]

I made it a point to fly to my home state to vote for this man. It was the debates against Hillary Clinton and the things they said about him that sealed my decision. I had voted for her twice, Just as I did for him. I told the citizens here "This is going to be the next president of the United States." They told me he was not white and would not win. Once he had won, they were devastated. I was elated. I knew he'd face all sorts of flack due to his race. He would be criticized. In the light of our current president he was an arc light of change. One would hope that our next president directs his attention to the people instead of the 2 percent of the country's upper class. One would wish this...but as 45 would say: "We'll see." Believe me, I will have a say in that --I am a Democrat and a registered voter--and a veteran. As a nation we can and WILL do better.

Gregory Pierson I was a Democrat but not anymore Barack Obama did not make America look good, not because of his race. But because he started a race war trying to divide America apologizing to the world for America.
