So obama is saying he doesnt intend to constantly deride trump, but will step back to his community rabble-rousing roots whenever he feels it's important. He should remember that almost every single one of his elections was won by him bribing courts to unseal records. If he becomes too much of an inconvenience, his records can just as easily be unsealed, and America will finally know what he's been hiding these last 8 years.
Nancy Pelosi has been the House Democrat leader for 14 years, and is now facing a serious challenge. She doesnt know why. Well, lets look at her record:
A) in 2007, she took control as Speaker saying $5-$6 and higher for a gallon of gas was a great thing. Of course all her liberal elite friends, the people who hire driving services to hail them around thought this was great; it kept "the rabble" off the roads. The rest of America felt is sucked, as they had to quit jobs because they couldnt afford to drive to work.
B) "We have to pass it so you can know whats in it" Yeah, even the grade-school civics classes knew thats not how its supposed to work
C) for the last 8 years, this old bat has been fighting for "women's rights" to abortion and birth control, apparently forgetting that those battles had already been won decades before, when most the voters she's trying to win werent even a scratch in daddy's pants yet.
I dont know why California is so hell-bent on sending this poor old biddy, clearly suffering from elderly dementia and Alzheimer's, back to congress over and over. It's almost cruel to keep the senile old bag working when it's clear she doesnt even know what decade she's in.
Bloomington Indiana, home of one of the biggest party colleges in the state, and almost as liberal as the California college towns, decided that Easter and Christmas were "too christian", and Columbus Day was "too white", so they decided to rename them. Well, maybe Im just too logical, but if a Christian holiday, that exists only because of the religion, is too religious, then you should just shut up and be forced to work it like it's any other day (no extra pay, no special benefits, no nothing) while those that are religious take the time off for observances, as guaranteed by their 1st Amendment rights. Or you can just go ahead and ban ALL religious observance, including muslim, jewish, etc etc etc. Well, maybe we can keep Beltane; getting drunk, then getting naked and dancing around a bonfire sounds kinda fun, as long as we do it in decent weather.
A bunch of pampered self-righteous arrogant broadway actors took it upon themselves to lecture a popular governor and future VP about how he should govern, apparently too stupid to realize that VPs dont govern. They're just there to give the late-night talk show hosts something to monologue about. Sadly, these chumps cant understand that its precisely this sort of behavior that has ensured no one cares about their opinions in the first place.
And finally, an interesting comparison is about to take place, though it will take time to draw the data.
When obama took office, democrats controlled all 3 houses: White House, Senate, and House of Representatives. And couldnt get jacksh^t done. They blamed the fact they couldnt get their own party to support their lunacy on the republicans, and begged for a filibuster-proof control. When they got it, they still couldnt get anything done.
Trump is taking office with the republicans holding all three houses. But there are a whole lot of republicans that REALLY dont want to work with trump. Will they remain as deaf to the public as they have been for the last 8 years? Will they work with the man who won? Will they be as ruthless, and steamroll over democrats the way democrats ruthlessly rolled over them these last 8 years? It will be interesting to evaluate how these two parties respond when given a clear mandate and the near-unstoppable power to follow that mandate. Assuming the republicans finally turned up their hearing aids enough to understand what that mandate is.
