Violent campaign rhetoric
Obama to skip Nancy Reagan’s funeral
The man who promised to reach across the aisle in his first campaign quickly reneged on that promise. Why should an imperious, lame-duck president who loathes all things conservative put himself out to attend a funeral for anyone, whether it’s a former first lady, Supreme Court Justice, or dog catcher, if they are tainted by conservatism?

Even more, says Whittle, Trump advances a consistent message, which he wears on his hat…

Much of the Obama legacy can be undone fairly quickly if Republicans regain the White House. If the president had enacted these changes via legislative action, much like Mr. Clinton and Mr. Reagan did, they would be difficult to undo.
But Mr. Obama didn’t do it the old-fashioned, American, democratic way, because he’s a lousy, preening politician who thinks he knows what’s best for the ‘little guy.’
Instead, he crammed it down our throats with his pen…
