So, where is the "winning" today?

In the last week the President of the United States has been schooled in how to lose a trade war, been found wordless on gun control, watched North Korea launch missiles an not seen anything wrong with that and been called out on inciting mentally unstable people to violence while backing away from the easy win of condemning White Supremacy. So whats he going to do about it??
Order the rounding up of 700 illegal immigrants, working in chicken processing plants in Mississippi. Way to distract the crowd. The local authorities (and these are Southerners) have been at great pains to point out that this was not requested by State powers. This came down from "the highest level" in Washingon. And boy that guy looked annoyed. Half a dozen chicken processing plants just lost their workforce.
Now I dont approve of the illegal immigrant workforce thing that America is so fond of. But the way of dealing with an ingrown toenail is NOT to chop off your foot.

What did you think of our last President Obama

@JohnOinger Right man, wrong time. He could have worked following Kennedy. But the ship was sinking before he arrived.

@whowasthatmaskedman That time frame would’ve been problematic because half of our country was still under the effect of segregation laws. So he wouldn’t have had any chance of [b]winning[/b] back then.

@bijouxbroussard This is so true. Even busing of kids was an issue.

@thedarkside [quote] let's take Benghazi for example. Our embassy was attacked ( Which is considered an act of war.) Four people killed including the US ambassador. What did Obama do about it???[/quote]

Well, we investigated, declared Ansar al-Sharia a terrorist organization, filed criminal charges against its major figures, and used special forces in coordination with the FBI to capture its leader.

We went to war with it and brought regional powers into the mix - and in early 2017, the group dissolved itself due to years of heavy sustained losses among leadership and rank and file.

While you were bitching, Obama quietly fucked that entity out of existence. By the book, barely acknowledging its existence, with all of the inevitability of a superpower.

@QuixoticSoulI am not to debate with you. WE both know that Obama screwed up in Benghazi so why don't you admit it?

@thedarkside Admit what? I'm quite happy with the aftermath of Benghazi. We conclusively dismantled those responsible.

@JohnOinger I didn’t agree with everything he did. But he was the best POTUS of my lifetime.
