| Sarah Hoyt: Trump is the "un-Obama" of our time. |

| h/t Instapundit A little more than a year into President Donald Trump’s term and much remains the same. Liberals still claim he is the modern incarnation of Hitler or Satan. Never-Trumpers continue to wait for the Administration to implode. Even so, if you look beneath the surface of rhetoric and denial, it quickly becomes clear the President Trump has become the "un-Obama", acting "to reduce government employment, deregulate, sanction radical expansion of fossil-fuel production, question the economic effects of globalization on Americans between the coasts, address deindustrialization, recalibrate the tax code, rein in the EPA, secure the border, reduce illegal immigration, or question transnational organizations." According to the National Review, Obama was the first modern president to figure out how to prevent the national economy from growing 3% in a single year. He did so through "the efforts of a 24/7 redistributionist agenda of tax increases, federalizing health care, massive new debt, layers of more regulation, zero-interest rates, neo-socialist regulatory appointments, expansionary eligibility for entitlements, and constant anti-free-market jawboning that created a psychological atmosphere conducive to real retrenchment, mental holding patterns, and legitimate fears over discernable success." Add to that the militarization of agencies like the IRS and the DOJ, not to mention the EPA. Is it any wonder so many look at the Feds with suspicion and fear these days? ..."One would have thought that all Republican presidents and presidential candidate would be something like the antitheses to progressivism. In truth, few really were. So given the lateness of the national hour, a President Nobama could prove to be quite a change," writes Victor Hanson Davis. As I said before, lets hope that Obama's era was peak stupidity in USA, and hence the World's, affairs. |

| #2 Trump is the un-Obama? Trump is far more than the un-Obama. That is why he was elected over the corrupted/tainted, evil, criminal Swamp Queen. |

| #1 Ugh - from the woman who singlehandedly killed the phrase 'This is my shocked face'. Overplayed to death just like 'Stairway to Heaven' and 'Free Bird'. Sorry, not gonna read it, ever. |
