Media Coverage: Obama Is Like Coach K; Trump = Calipari
And I bet Cal wouldn't like this post at all.

He went joe craft's wife swearing in ceremony. Obama got great coverage from the mainstream media. There is nO denying that.
Cal as trump? Some hate cal as much as some hate trump. Some say cal is a poor bench coach. And many find trump a businessman
I don't think many are as incompetent, unqualified and as compromised as trump.
Some people are unduly attacked. Others get exactly what they deserve.
Best years of my career were under bush. I am not a fan of Obama. But there has not been a more dangerous person to hold the office than trump.
Some in the press hate cal. But trump is more Gillespie without the charm.

Trump hasn't been compromised. Obama was far more dangerous and did far more harm to our country.

“Before I leave I’d like to see our politics begin to return to the purposes and practices that distinguish our history from the history of other nations,
“I would like to see us recover our sense that we are more alike than different. We are citizens of a republic made of shared ideals forged in a new world to replace the tribal enmities that tormented the old one. Even in times of political turmoil such as these, we share that awesome heritage and the responsibility to embrace it.”

Seeing as how we're going through the NK Having nukes, and Iran will be close behind, somehow I don't think so.
Obama isn't the only cause of it of course, but he is one of several Presidents going back quite a way who were unwilling to take stronger actions. Clinton probably gets the lowest score overall on the NK issue, as they had a major famine at that time and instead of really putting the screws to it he sent Carter over to do his best Lord Chamberlain impression.
Obama, like the rest, simply kicked it down the road. But he will be far more responsible when Iran gets nukes, as he was the key person getting sanctions lifted on their regime, which is now getting billions to rebuild their military and further their nuclear program.
But since history these days is written by professors who think students should pick their own grades b/c having exams is a microaggression against the less intelligent, I presume he will be hailed as a hero despite the facts of the situation.People keep asking if I'm back and I haven't really had an answer. But now, yeah, I'm thinkin' I'm back.

No President "kicked it down the road". It's THE most difficult problem to solve that has been ongoing for at least 30 years. Unfortunately for Trump, the sand is slipping through the hourglass more quickly. We can debate if he did anything to speed that up, but the best piece of advice(and let's remember the high compliments that Trump had for Obama during the transition) that Trump received from Obama was the North Korea was THE top priority, but he quickly forget that.
Every President inherits problems, let's just hope that Trump can stop blaming after nearly 8 months in and start to solve the problem. At least he has nearly 30 years of failures across several administrations representing both parties to draw upon.
Picking one side to blame is extremely petty. It's an American problem, not a party problem.
