its shocking imo how often everyone forgets libya being obama's fault considering the iraq war is entirely bush/blairs fault

It was actually Crooked Hillary's fault Obama didn't want to get involved but Hillary saw it is as surefire success story for her political career.

We should not be surprised that Obama more interested in fundraising for his foundation than actually helping any sort of downticket race.

I suppose in 2008 people assumed that "get motivate" implied a program of change, rather than being a meaningless mantra. However, after 10 years there is no excuse for not seeing past the deception.

Lloyd Green was the opposition research counsel to the George H.W. Bush campaign in 1988 and later served in the U.S. Department of Justice. He is now the managing member of research and analytics firm Ospreylytics.

Look how Obama is spending his time visiting SV VC places:

http://www.businessinsider.com/obama-visits-andreessen-horowitz-2018-6

quote:

In 2016, Obama hinted that he might be interested in venture capital as a post-presidency career, and Andreessen Horowitz is regarded as one of the top firms in Silicon Valley, investing in sectors like software, biotech, and crypto.

"The conversations I have with Silicon Valley and with venture capital pull together my interests in science and organization in a way I find really satisfying," Obama told Bloomberg in 2016. "You know, you think about something like precision medicine: the work we've done to try to build off of breakthroughs in the human genome; the fact that now you can have your personal genome mapped for a thousand bucks instead of $100,000; and the potential for us to identify what your tendencies are, and to sculpt medicines that are uniquely effective for you."

"That's just an example of something I can sit and listen and talk to folks for hours about," Obama continued.

If President Donald Trump were to nominate a woman to replace retiring Supreme Court justice Anthony Kennedy, it would make it much more difficult for Democrats to obstruct her appointment, Hillary Clinton's former pollster Mark Penn said during a Thursday interview with "Rising," Hill.TV's morning news show. Picking a woman for the court would also likely boost Trump's approval ratings among women, Penn added.
