ABERRANT OBAMA
ABERRANT OBAMA
In an earlier post, I had referred to President Barack Obama as an "aberration," meaning by that his election was a break from the past.
The truth of that characterization is evident in President-Elect Donald Trump, who is more typical in many respects, thus less aberration than President Obama. Trump brings scandals into the White House with him in many well-documented ways, not to mention litigations!
Hillary Clinton also had her share of scandals, investigations, grand jury and Congressional subpoenas, and litigations during her years of public life as First Lady, New York Senator, Secretary of State, some dating back to her Arkansas days.
I rejoice that I was able to witness President Barack Obama's full term in office, and to compare its basic and aberrant cleanness to others.
