Like him or hate him, Trump is doing the job

Posted September 14, 2017 1:00 am

It always amazes me how Democrats conveniently forget past performances of President Obama. A recent letter by Martha Tuohy stated she is worried about a war with Afghanistan and North Korea. If Obama with all his military skills and experience had done his job sometime in the past eight years, this country would not be in the dangerous situation we face today.

If Obama had done his job in June of 2014 and wiped ISIS off the map when they marched unhindered across Iraq, we would not face the dangerous Islamic terrorism the world faces today. Now that is a real travesty or maybe better yet just total incompetence. Clinton would have brought more of the same. We are so lucky that the deplorables and unredeemables of this country saw through her facade. We did not need a president who would have enhanced the moral vacuum that has grown in this country over the past decade.

Like him or hate him, President Trump is doing the job. Democrats need to get over their loss, get a message other than blame game, get off "group think" mode and unite this country.
