ORIGINAL: BamaD Are you kidding, all we heard from Obama was how he wanted to "fundamentally change" America, not a single charge was made against him that wasn't dismissed as racist. Mrs. Obama saying that in her adult life she wasn't proud of the country till we elected him. Did you know that he played not only the race card but he used the birther card against McCain. He was more subtle but he was every bit as insulting as Trump. Intellectuals rarely fall prey to the mindless idiocy of patriotism-- it's a positive quality, because it prevents you from being blinded by feelings. And maybe you don't remember (I've noticed you have a hard time staying on topic), but in 2008 EVERYONE wanted a fundamental change, due to the whole economic crash thing as well as 8 years of Bush. The difference between 2008 Obama and Trump is that Obama inherited a broken economy and took aim at the causes: Wall Street, wealthy CEOs and economic inequality... while Trump is inheriting a stable economy and is taking aim at Muslims, immigrants and other countries.
