Obama was a terrible President. He encouraged racial divide. He had great disdain for law enforcement and the armed forces. His foreign policy was a disaster. His economic policies sucked. Everything about him was bad. He was a media creation, a novelty who had no business holding the highest office in the land. Even his record as a Senator was abysmal.
I am not going to say he was the worst President in our history. I think is a close race between him and Carter for that honor, but I suspect is going to easily beat them both for the top slot.

So let’s recap. In the first 36 hours of Biden’s presidency, his press secretary mocked face masks, he signed several EOs to open the border and advance radical gender/racial policies, crippled US energy production, and abandoned National Guardsmen. But phew no mean tweets!
When Donald Trump said to protest “peacefully”, he meant violence.
When he told protesters to “go home”, he meant stay for an insurrection.
And when he told Brad Raffensperger to implement “whatever the correct legal remedy is”, he meant fraud.
War is peace.
Freedom is slavery.
Ignorance is strength.

I want to congratulate Joe Biden on his victory along with Lance Armstrong on winning the Tour De France and finally Lori Loughlin’s kid for working hard and getting into USC.

I hate to say it, but if the Democrats want to go with the angle of declaring the virus dealt with and that lockdowns aren't necessary, I'm ok with that. Sure, they'll be giving all the credit to Biden, but at least fewer small businesses will go under.
The worse possibility is that they'll push for a national lockdown for 6 months or so. That would be the final death blow to almost all small businesses.
It's laughably dumb to think the federal government in general has your best interests in mind, so comparing presidents is somewhat of a moot point.
The only sure thing is that the elites get what they want at our expense. Different presidents just provide a variety of means of achieving that.
