Ludicrous to compare presidents

In response to Charles Falk's article in the Daily Herald: to say that Obama's name could be interjected in place of Trump's derogatory adjectives is ludicrous. For that to be true, over 20 women would have had to come forward accusing Obama of groping, having sexual encounters and accepting payoffs for their silence. Nor do I recall over 25 people in Obama's administration quitting or being fired within the first year or for that matter in the eight years Obama served.

Trump has yet to put in place any significant health care program to replace Obama's. Frequent golf outings and vacations did not take precedence under Obama. I can't remember world leaders shunning Obama or canceling meetings with him due to his policies.

I must be short on memory since I didn't notice the FBI investigating the Obamas or their family due to our national security and collusion with Russia.

I do recall Obama having a bigger turnout in both his inaugurations. I do recall Obama passing a bill for the mentally handicapped receiving SSI to have their names put into a database for background checks not allowing ownership of a gun. In February, Trump voided that bill, with no reasonable explanation given. Mr. Falk needs to do his homework before making blatant statements.
