I was Obama's harshest critic on this board. I've said that many times.

But, here's the rub. It WAS my HONEST opinion. Obama had the chance to pleasantly surprise me, but he never did. I would've gladly given Obama credit for improving race relations, for example, but he purposely went in the other direction. From choosing Al Sharpton as his chief advisor on race relations, to purposely race-baiting every situation from the Cambridge Police to Trsyvon Martin to Michael Brown to Baltimore, the community agitator showed his true stripes every single time.

That man EARNED every critical thing I ever said about him, and I was totally vindicated in my assessment of him.

With regards to this thread, it's a hypothetical. We're only 2 months into Trump's presidency. So the relevant question is (For anti-Trumpers), do you want Trump to fail no matter what, or do you hope against hope that he succeeds?

It's a fair question.

As an Anti-Trumper (full disclosure: I'd be an anti-Clinton too) I hope he succeeds. Just like I wanted Obama to succeed.

So when he brought this country back from a recession did you give him credit? When he oversaw tremendous job growth and a robust stock market did you give him credit??
