No, I did not fail to consider that the current president says and does things many people dislike or disagree with. So do I. But there were many things the previous president said and did that I felt actually were harmful to our country. Disagreeing with any president's actions us just fine and most certainly part of a republic operating democratically. But the ugliness and virulent hatred that began during the Obama years has become something totally unacceptable, something so completely horrible that I wonder if our country will ever overcome it. I stand by my words. The horrible things I hear and read about people doing/saying out of pure hatred for this one man is simply beyond my understanding and unforgivable. I see him being blamed for EVERYTHING which is totally irrational thinking. No, on this, I am right, it is all wrong and unforgivable.

In my book, if you lie, you can't cry when someone points out that lie, if you make a r****t comment, you can't cry when someone points it out, if you get into bed with terrible dictators, you can't cry when someone points it out, anything he does that comes off shady, he can expect that it will be pointed out, if he doesn't like it, he shouldn't do/say that which is going to result in criticism. Obama had to deal with eight years of vicious attacks during his term, where was the bleeding hearts of the right during that period? Trump is barely 2 years into the criticism, some of which may be undeserved but the majority of it, well deserved. If he can't take the criticism that he has earned, then he should do better in avoiding having earned it.
The criticism that Obama received, Muslim, Kenyan, gay, crooked, liar among other things, was he Muslim? No, he was a Protestant. Was he born in Kenya? No, regardless what those too ignorant to acknowledge the t***h wish to say, he was born in Hawaii, even Trump admitted it when he saw the birth certificate for himself, before returning to the ugly lies later? Was Obama gay, no. Was he crooked? If you have proof, show some. Did he lie? I am sure everyone has told some in their lives, I am sure he told some too, there were some I know of for sure, I am sure they didn't start off as a lie, they turned into one when he failed to get the plan he wanted and at that point, he should have made amends, he didn't, that was on him, but he was honest in nearly everything else he stated. Trump on the other hand, he has worked hard nearly everyday to EARN his criticism, he lies deliberately, goes out of his way to discredit his own intelligence community, jump into bed with despots, criticize people with disabilities, American veterans politicians he doesn't like, main stream media...
The unwarranted h**e continues to this day against Obama, Hillary and just about any other Democrat that has made the mistake of making their existence known. You can't ask the one side to stop while condoning the hatred of those on your side.
