IRS vs. conservatives. Then there was the fast and furious scandal. Hillary selling things to China on her server, having it there, unsecured, for it to be "hacked." WHICH Obama knew about and didn't put a stop to it. Just because he didn't have a handle bar mustache, cape, top hat, and he wasn't strapping a damsel to railroad tracks doesn't mean he wasn't a bad President. Killed lot's of innocent people with drones too. If the only reason YOU can think of to dislike Obama is the color of his skin then YOU are the racist. This goes for everyone

The whole relationship was wrong. Here was I, an elected man who could be removed, and here were these people with more power than I had and no accountability to anyone."
