on the contrary…i have chosen to read the actual initiatives n not the take or views of pundits who , along with their champions in government have chosen ignorance, i.e.being racist , over the welfare of the nation on a whole…people say the president hasn't done this n that…wat they fail to say is that he has been stymied at every turn…had he run roughshod over his detractors, then they would have been saying that he was a despot n a dictator….if anyone has toed the line of the Constitution that sooo many who r pundits n politicians claim they stand behind, it has been THIS president…but then he has studied it n IS a Constitutional Lawyer unlike all the others who wouldn't be able to cite one line without one of their Aides feeding said to them….F E H
Ok, but all I see is that you posted someone else thoughts. You posted an op/ed piece article, and I countered with someone else's op/ed article. Opinion is opinion, it's not right nor wrong, but simply personal opinion. I respect your opinion. A person is entitled to their own opinions, but not their own facts
Being stymied at every turn is part of being president of the US. Communication and reaching across the aisle is part of the job. Every president has faced this. For you to suggest that racism is involved is disingenuous on your part. I'm sorry, but I don't respect THAT PART of your opinion...if all else fails scream racism has been the rallying cry of many that can't deal with facts.
I don't understand how you could believe that this man has towed the line of the constitution when he has a long list of factual violations.
