Obama, the Great Divider when in office, lacks the credibility to lecture America

 If Obama had stopped there, he might have been right.

Obama's unprecedented failure to work with the opposite party in any constructive manner, or even to try, combined with his gratuitous persecution of the politically undesirable, left about half of America with the distinct impression that religious freedom, freedom of speech and association, gun rights, and a number of other constitutional rights would vanish if another Democrat succeeded him.

" Obama then rejected the advice of his chief of staff to chart a more moderate and sustainable course on healthcare reform that might have drawn Republican votes across the aisle - and which probably would have averted the Democratic defenestration that followed.

Obama biographer Jonathan Alter included an incredible little detail about the night Republicans won their House majority in 2010.

Where Trump merely talks a big game against the media, Obama took action.

Obama insisted inflexibly upon enforcing the rule, rejecting the advice of his vice president, Joe Biden, to live and let live.

After his sharply partisan and power-hungry presidency, Obama lacks the standing and statesmanship to give the kind of grand address he intended last week.
