I think there will be companies that benefit from this wall as well as the future infrastructure bills. certainly it cant be any worse then Obama hooking up his friends with the solar power contracts.
President Obama!

Annoy a conservative....Think for yourself
Remember the good old days when President Obama would stride to the podium and regardless of what message he had, we were assured by his calm demeanor and wise words that we were going to be all right as a nation. Drumpf cannot be presidential in that respect now or ever because he is an amoral coward.
chris hedges summarizes obamas time in office. michael moore said something like his only achievement is that he is the first african american president.
Barack Obama rode a wave of bipartisan resentment into office in 2008, then spent eight years betraying the public. Obama’s assault on civil liberties, including his use of the Espionage Act to prosecute whistleblowers, was worse than those carried out by George W. Bush. He accelerated the war on public education by privatizing schools, expanded the wars in the Middle East, including the use of militarized drone attacks, provided little meaningful environmental reform, ignored the plight of the working class, deported more undocumented people than any other president, imposed a corporate-sponsored health care program that was the brainchild of the right-wing Heritage Foundation, and prohibited the Justice Department from prosecuting the bankers and financial firms that carried out derivatives scams and inflated the housing and real estate market, a condition that led to the 2008 financial meltdown. He epitomized, like Bill Clinton, the bankruptcy of the Democratic Party.

Did Obama Know about Comey’s Surveillance?
One would presumably only approve such an order if the request presented by the executive branch was highly compelling and likely to produce evidence that the subject of the wiretap was in fact working with Russia to disrupt U.S. elections. Roughly a year later, as the public still waits for such evidence, this column wonders how this judge is feeling now, especially now that CNN has reported that at least two of its three sources believe the resulting evidence is inconclusive.
One would also presume—or at least hope—that seeking to wiretap associates of the leader of the political opposition is not an everyday occurrence in any administration. At the very least, it seems highly unlikely that such a decision would be made by a mid-level official. CNN notes, “Such warrants require the approval of top Justice Department and FBI officials, and the FBI must provide the court with information showing suspicion that the subject of the warrant may be acting as an agent of a foreign power.”
It seems reasonable for the public to know exactly which officials made this decision and who else they consulted or informed of their surveillance plans. Was the President briefed on the details of this investigation?

I'll admit, Obama had a good demeanor. Very polished. But I also remember President Obama telling us if you liked your doctor you could keep your doctor. If you liked your insurance you could keep your insurance. My niece couldn't keep her insurance. She is now paying 4000 more per year after the first year of the change and it has gone up since then.
you know what they say about appearances...
my views on obama was he took alot of money from wall street before he got elected, he let wall street staff his cabinet, he didnt jail any bankers, he tried passing the worst corporate power grab of all time the TPP, droned more people than bush, worse on civil liberties than bush, didnt raise the min wage, abused the espionage act by using it more times than all previous presidents combined on whistleblowers, didnt reform the NSA and went after snowden, passed a weak climate change plan. he didnt even endorse bernie. obama is a major war criminal and should be in jail. and btw hes silent on current american polilitcs, doing paid speeches for wall st, when he should be speaking out. he ran on hope and change but it was more of the same which is american decline.
his only achievement was that he was the first black president. same thing wouldve happened with hillary except more war.
