Of
course not. But America’s presidents, with the possible exception of a rapist, have
been reasonably good people who feared the press. All the while, the government
generally enabled bureaucrats and the rich to do well, but left the rest of us
behind.
We
now have in office a boor and a narcissist who is not just unafraid of the
press, he delights in taunting it. He’s making the economy come alive, however,
leaving the rich unharmed but benefiting the rest of us, especially blacks. He’s
also starting to knock back the bureaucracy. (Completing that job will take
decades.)
You
can have your presidents of good character. I'll take good policies.
Another
friend told me, “I disliked Trump’s reversal of President Obama’s environmental
regulations.”
Those regulations would have had
no effect on world temperature, but they did slow down the economy. President
Obama used environmental issue to disguise his main goals: to curtail
capitalism and launch European-style socialism.
Liberty and limited government
are the essential ingredients that have made America exceptional. Mr. Obama considered
America unexceptional and, in fact, immoral. He wanted liberty reduced and government’s
powers much increased. Barack Obama is a very nice gentleman whose presidential
goals and policies were un-American and unconstitutional in the extreme.
