For the first time in a while I’ve returned to give my comments on what’s going on in America as we inch closer to the inauguration of Donald Trump as President of the United States. I’ve heard many around the various networks calling for America to now rally around this first time politician. We hear things like he’s going to need all the help he can get and ugly Presidential contests are part of the business. While both of these things may be true, there is another truth in this.. Obama wasn’t gettin this benefit of the doubt when he won in a landslide.

Where was the GOP calling for a unified America when Obama destroyed Senator John McCain? It didn’t exist. See the Republicans were already bunkered down trying to devise their strategy to limit Obama to one term, not help him be a successful President. Am I saying that they should have been holding hands and singing songs, No I’m not. But, there should have been an attempt to really work with this President and it wasn’t. The first chance Republicans could take at shutting him down they did and it continued for the next 8 years.

They complain that we aren’t further along in our recovery, that jobs aren’t more plentiful, well maybe that’s partly because Republicans refused to continue to work with Obama on initiatives that would have helped the country be even more successful. And the funny thing is despite the record growth of American jobs and the success of Wall Street it still wasn’t enough. Yes millions of Americans voted for the first Black President in American history, but you can best believe those elite, snobs on the Right who made their careers on Capitol Hill didn’t want to see him occupy the most Powerful post in the free world.

Fast forward to 2016 and now 2017 and all we here is we need to reconcile as a country for the good of the Nation. Really? I guess we couldn’t reconcile under Obama, but it’s appropriate under Trump. Man, we will miss President Obama for sure. He was the man that oversaw so much history in this country and as time passes from his Presidency we will realize that he truly was one of the great American Presidents.
