Democrats who think that Obama’s admirers, Joe Biden, Pete Buttigieg, etc., will be less corrupt than Obama was, are wishful thinkers, like all fools are. (And that magazine-article just linked-to there, is likewise Brownstein’s in The Atlantic, which is a Democratic Party magazine, and that pro-Obama article says also that “Obama became the first president to pass legislation moving the nation toward universal health care,” which is an outright lie, because the reality is that the percentage of Americans without health insurance was 14.4% when Obama entered the White House, and was 12.2% when he left it. So, his ‘universal coverage’ started with 85.6% insured, and ended with 87.8% insured — far from the 100% he had always promised. He had moved the needle up 2.2%. Also, very few of the individuals who had lacked health insurance before Obama became President, obtained health insurance under Obamacare — it was all a fraud, nothing like what he had promised. But, after all, Obama had won the Nobel Peace Prize for his rhetoric and then invaded Libya in 2011, Syria in 2012-2017, and Yemen at various times — each being a country that had never invaded nor threatened to invade the United States — so, he was really competing with George W. Bush on invasions, too. Both men were actually just lousy Presidents, but the suckers in their own Party refuse to recognize the fact. This idiocy is what partisan politics produces, and it’s destroying America.)
