      The hate of Obama, which is rooted in anti-blackness, is the primary motivating factor for Donald Trump’s policy decisions.

      my hatred of Obama is from giving us a right wing health care plan and out-Bushing Bush on wars, arms sales, deportations, etc.

      Your comment will be ignored because it holds too much truth. My life was pretty good before Obama became president. Almost a year after his presidency, my life got flipped upside down.

      No. I have problems with his policies, but I don’t hate him. I’ve been public about this. If you do, you have heart issues

          That’s the problem with where we’re at. It’s ok, in fact it’s full on American, to disagree with policies and it’s our obligation to say so. Obama is an inspiring leader & a great man. Doesn’t mean I agree with every policy but I still have love & respect for him (and Michelle).

          I don’t know about heart issues, but I don’t hate the man; however, I’d be a liar if I said I didn’t feel some type of way. It’s hard not to when he was president when ICE snatched my parents. My life went from coming up, to back to square one. I’m still living in its effects.

          If you've seen what his drone strikes did to kids overseas and still think he's a good person, you have heart issues.

          If we really look at what Trump and Obama have done, people should hate both their presidencies

          Ferguson occurred under Obama's watch, so did the #NoDAPL protestors. So did Sandy Hook. So did Trayvon Martin, Eric Garner, Philando Castile, Sandra Bland and so on and so on. You hate on Trump for these kinds of things, so why not Obama?

          Right. Black people were hopeful about Obama being in office. We knew he would have push back and have to cater to white people a majority of the time.

          I've paid over $40,000 in additional premiums since "Oboughtma" sold us out by not fighting for a public option and passing healthcare by the Heritage Foundation in reconciliation with 51 votes. "Obomba" was the best Rethug POTUS we had since Bill Clinton https://youtu.be/677elaGIsKU

          I’ve never hated him (voted for him twice). But he rode in on such a wave of hope & change that many of his subsequent policies became doubly disappointing.
