I'm obviously a partisan, I voted against Obama, etc, etc...

But that was the most dishonest, hyperpartisan and embarrassing speech of Obama's life.

We are in a VERY bad place in this country. And I have no optimism neither one of these clown parties will make it better.

And Democrats, I am sure, will not even seen how bad this speech was.

It was Paul Wellstone bad. Oh, it won't have that impact (that backfired on Dems) but it was bad.

But since Obama is still better than Trump (the lowest of low bars) they'll write it off.

Watching them eulogize an American hero (and yes, Lewis is certainly that) and then using it for short term politics...

...I am as depressed as I've been in a while.

Lets note...Obama calling for the END OF THE FILIBUSTER during a freaking EULOGY is...well...Trump level bad.

It is.

Message: "We are in the right, so do whatever we need to do to get our desired results...ethics and morals and American precedents to fairness and democracy be damned!"

Barack Obama's message.

And yeah, Trump is awful. He proves it every single freaking day. He proved it this morning!

And yet...there are no bright lights out there that are going to SOLVE this. Basically, we are either going to get a lot of shit, or slightly less shit.

God Bless America.

Obligatory.

People will attack me because I am attacking Obama.

And I am. But this is more than that.

This is about a country that completely lacks all ability to use civil discourse and apolitical narratives even at FUNERALS.

That is pathetic.
