As are nearly all of our posts, this is a personal observation:
Lyndon Johnson was crude. . . in the extreme; Harry Truman was outspoken and blunt; George H W Bush was gracious; Bill Clinton was a realist (with other faults).
Barack Obama is, by far and ‘off the charts’, the most classless, spiteful, arrogant president in all US history!
His wife, the “lovely and gracious” Michelle may be even moreso.
They are truly a “match made . . .” somewhere, but not in heaven.
Half the nation may disagree but the words and actions of these two are on the record, and some day, objective, dispassionate historians will validate this opinion . . . if this is still a free nation despite this president’s most aggressive efforts to make it otherwise. DLH
Look for a rash of edicts with the added feature of hamstringing alleviation. Look for more rushed DOJ rulings. Other than Cubans, look for perhaps thousands more illegals crossing the border (unless Border Patrol officers ignore orders to ignore). Much will go unreported by dominant liberal media. However they will build up the protestors for the inaugural and after. As you have predicted, there will be high profile pardons yet to come. They know it will be controversial for a bit but they will reward friends and if the controversy walks on Trumps message for a few days that is win win for them.
