    Obama was not so great…did not support unions, did not prosecute bankers after the Recession, gave us RomneyCare instead of real healthcare, drone wars, did not end the wars, etc., etc., etc. Let’s not rewrite History here.

    Humans have progressed only by standing on the shoulders of giants, I just hope we never run out of giants like Obama, a strong foundation of principle and ideas to build our future on top of.
