"Countries don’t really recover from being taken over by unstable authoritarian nationalists of any political bent, left or right"

I did not see a word about President Obama and his fundamental transformation of America.

Jap, the key word in your statement is "UNSTABLE". This President Obama has never demonstrated, where as Trump has demonstrated how UNSTABLE he is on many occasions. A double-minded person is unstable in all their ways.

JAP, with respect, you sound exactly like Rush Limbaugh. Each and every time anyone discusses how specific republican leadership has crippled our economy and country as a whole, Rush races directly to Obama ONLY. Then, the statement does include whether it's left or right in its' origins of being controlled but, again, you want to only see Obama critiqued when our issues actually began way back in the mid- 80's. Reagan's voodoo economics, Clinton's NAFTA trade deal, and Bush's foreign policies ALL CONTRIBUTED TO WHERE WE ARE NOW, man. You people need to open your minds up to accepting responsibility for this, too. Rush tells you that democrats are the sole reason for our problems and are the biggest threat to our country. That, in and of itself, should cause you to seriously question his motives as he's conveying that republicans have absolutely no hand in any of this...ever. Anyone willing to accept this type of conjecture from him needs some SERIOUS HELP. I listen to Rush specifically to illustrate his non-compromising positions on everything while I retain the ability to understand the truths he injects as only to continue driving his obvious ulterior motive(s). It's futile.
