I'd like to see a news story showing that Obama did what he could reasonably have

done to ensure all this couldn't happen. I might take a whole documentary for all I know. I don't have the ability to dig up everything and put together a timeline.

I'm of course wanting to blow up Trumps bullshit line that he inherited a broken and obsolete system. Obviously Obama couldn't have proposed legislation to prepare for this and have hoped to get it through congress. It would have been blocked.

1. When Trump tries to blame his failures on Obama

It is not different than if he blamed Harry Truman, or Andrew Jackson. He may have had a legitimate complaint if this event happened in the first couple of months of his presidency, but this ass has been mishandling the American government for nearly four years. He is the Captain of the ship of State, and ships have only one man who is responsible for everything that happens on board . That is why captains are given extraordinary powers, and bear absolute responsibility for what happens on their decks. Anyone who buys into blaming the previous administration is living in cloud cuckoo land, and are beyond intellectual redemption.

This man was elected more out of spite than anything else. When books are written about this presidency, it will be a study of how badly things can go when you put a person the White House, who is unfit intellectually, emotionally, ethically and morally in order to restore a perverted version of a Great America that never existed. When the tally is finally calculated, it will have been a damn expensive lesson. You will be getting the bill sooner rather than later.
