Damned if he did... Truth about Trump & the dark, evangelical hypocrisy thrust upon Pres. Obama

Around this time last year, President Obama visited flooded areas of Louisiana. At the time of his visit, 13 deaths had already occurred; 7 trillion gallons of rain had already dropped; 24 inches of rainfall had already been measured; $15 billion in damages had already been estimated. Evangelicals lambasted President Obama for not visiting sooner.
Yesterday, Trump visited a dry airport near the flooded areas of Texas. At the time of his visit, 16 deaths had already occurred; 11 trillion gallons of rain had already dropped; 49 inches of rainfall had already been measured; $50 billion in damages had already been estimated.
Trump didnt hug a neck, kiss a cheek, wipe a tear. He didnt encounter water falling from the sky or puddling upon the earth. He didnt mention the loss of a police officer or the drowning of a family of six. And evangelicals offered no criticism of Trump.
Because they are hypocrites. Because they treated President Obama in the manner we would have expected racists to treat him.

Daily Kos might not a totally 'pure' mainstream source, but I felt like you should all see this because it is so true. I loved Obama, though I disagreed with him on a couple of things. But he was my president, and I was proud of him, and proud to be an American during his time in office. This shows the ugliness of racism, and puts the shortcomings of the current orange occupant of the White House in stark contrast.
Obama was a class act. He had the respect of the world.
Trump is frittering away the greatness of this nation we love, and replacing it with small-minded hatred, racism and right wing nationalism.
Obama is a statesman.
Trump is a clown.

Like you, I loved having Barack Obama be my president. He did us proud. Increasingly, he seems better than we deserved.

They are NOTHING MORE THAN a tax exempt arm of the Republican party.
PERIOD
Don't ever give them credit for anything more.

And about the comparison of Dolt45 to Obama --- it only serves to polish Obama's already shining reputation.....

(10,097 posts)The descendants of Ham were cursed with blackness and servitude. The descendants of Ham include Jesus as a descendant of Solomon by Bathsheba, a Hittite descended from Canaan, Ham's fourth son. Nothing could be clearer in the Biblical texts, but point this out to your average evangelical and watch heads explode!
4. Four Sons of Ham
1. Mizraim (Egypt)
2. Cush (Sudan, Ethiopia)
3. Put (Lybia)
4. Canaan (Hivites, Jebusites, Arvadites, Girgashites, Amorites, Arkites, Sinites, Hittites,
Sidonians, Perizzites, Zemarites)

They did the same shit to Bill, they did the same shit to Hillary.
Seriously had Hillary been POTUS and did the same exact things at the same exact times as BHO, she would have gotten the same bullshit.
Hell, she isn't even POTUS and every response from these idiots regarding 45s never ending stream of fuck ups is, "leftist, Hillary, Hillary, Leftist, socialism ... "
