This is a man who authorized the murder of Yemeni civilians with drones, whose DOJ went after journalists who spoke out against him, whose DOJ went after conservative-leaning people via the IRS, whose DOJ sold weapons to Mexico that were involved in murder of Americans, whose state department stored emails on an insecure server that ended up being hacked, and who flip-flopped on marriage equality until it was politically expedient to support it.

This isn't really all that new for a politician. I don't hate him any more than I hate any other asshole who becomes president. What I hate about Obama is the useful idiots who give him a pass on all this and say things like he is a great man with integrity. He's not. He's a politician who knows how to use his celebrity to influence people, probably the best president to do that since FDR.

So while it's extremely difficult to know that you can not, and will not agree with me, I think I'll be able to deal with it.
