Does ANYONE think that Ol' Moscow and his merry band of trumpets would have been fair regarding her replacement back then? They did everything imaginable to hobble President Obama. To make his life miserable. To stand in his way. To keep him from getting more accomplished. And even now they're trying to undo his legacy and everything he DID get accomplished for the public good. Like the ACA, as only one example.
