Obama’s uselessness and indecisiveness is why we are in this current mess.

Roe Vs Wade has been overturned.

Along with this extraordinary pronouncement, Clarence Thomas also did make the recommendation of overturning previous decisions on same sex marriage, contraception etc.

How did we get here?

And how on earth did we get to this point?

Two words.

Donald Trump.

In one term at the white house, Donald Trump was able to stamp his mark on American politics in a way that Barack Obama was unable to in two terms.

With Obama, you had the impression that he was incredulous at the fact that he was president and he didn’t want to be caught offending white folks’ sensibilities.

You always got the impression that Obama was too worried about how he came across and seemed too willing to make concessions to the Republicans who have never hidden their visceral dislike of the first Black President.

To Trump all that mattered was winning.

If winning meant taking upsetting the established order in the Republican party and accepting Russian money, then so be it.
