Obama was set up to be the greatest of American heroes, but proved to be a common swindler and one of the great political liars of all time — he fooled us all. Moreover, his remarkably vacuous post-presidency is proving true everything Trump said in 2016 about the grasping Washington politicians whose only motives are personal enrichment, and who’d do anything, even attend his wedding, for a buck. Trump’s point was that he, Trump, was already swinishly rich, while politicians have only one thing to sell to get the upper class status they crave: us.
Well, actually Matt, he didn’t fool us all. He never fooled me.
Yes, it could actually happen. And Larry Elder has a good shot at it. That would be amazing, because he’s not the girly boy Ahnald turned out to be. The problem, of course, is that the Democrats have supermajorities in both houses, so his vetoes might not stand up. That’s not fixable until next year (if then).
