Strategically, I understood Trump and other Republican presidential candidates attacking him during campaigns because Obama was unpopular with most conservatives however, don't you think it's getting tired now, 100 days into Trump's presidency, and everything still revolves around Obama. It's like Obama's totally in his head and it's becoming a bad look.

Everything is an absolute. Not "everything" is about Obama.

Lots of things are indeed about Obama as he was just in the WH for 8 long years and there's lots to either fix, kill or keep from his time. So yeah, Obama, Obama, Obama.

Now, if you are talking about the wiretap thingy then yeah, that's a mistake so far in my mind. He's doubled down on it though so we'll see.

I'd prefer that he not do that going forward and just let the process play out without teasing the public. It is indeed a bad deal to do that.

The Obama melt will never end. These folks are willing to tank the country out of sheer rage that we elected a black POTUS.

And yet Obama, Bush 8 years

Hell, some Dims are still attacking Reagan

Trust me, for people required to pay health care premiums, at the point of a gun, its good policy

It was the exact same with Obama's administration when it came to Bush, and it lasted 8-years.

I logged in earlier this week and there were 8 different threads with "Obama" in the title.
I don't think I counted that many when he was in office.

I think that all slimy anti American communists should be attacked at all times. But thats just me...others may feel differently.

Seems to me everything revolves around Russia, Russia, Russia! Remember just 8 years ago Russia was considered harmless, a foe from the 80's, and in fact Obama was so cozy with the Russians he was over heard assuring them he could be more flexible after his re-election in 2012.

I understand not blaming a previous president but there has to be a grace period. If he's still going on about Obama in a year, then I'll say it's a bit much. Obama blamed Bush for 8 years so let's not act like he's some angel. I think the difference here is that Bush stayed out of politics and let Obama do his thing. I think we all know own that won't be the case with Obama over the next 4 years. So if Obama keeps interjecting, he's 100% fair game.

It's been 8 years and Obama is still blaming Bush for Obama's shitty presidency.

Not smart to attack your far, far more popular predecessor. It'd be like Democrats going around attacking Reagan instead of hitting Bush.

When you're entire campaign centered around reversing what had taken place the previous eight years, it's rather difficult not to mention the man at the forefront of the mess as you go about getting the country in order.

Yeah, you're right. Obama never blamed Bush for any of his failings.

The campaign was a referendum on Obama and he is the party's leader.

Much of Trumps policy initiative is to roll back Obama policy.

Not sure what the issue is here. We had to hear about the mess Bush left us with for years. Not sure how this is any different.
