A few days ago there was a link is pushed from Eleanor Cliff how it was all President Obama's fault

that Gorsuch is on the SC.

Now HuffingtonPost is pushing some more FALSE EQUIVALENCY BULLSHIT with this headline:

"
HuffPost
EDITION
ROT RUNS DEEP: OBAMAWORLD CASHES IN"

https://www.huffingtonpost.com/entry/so-how-are-obama-administration-alums-handling-the-trump-years_us_5b44ea86e4b07aea7544c4ea

It seems to me that between the media, and some so-called self-identified progressives, they seem to be working overtime to not only trash President Obama, but the Democratic party

It reminds me of the NY Times a few months ago blaming the "hubris of the Obama administration" for making the republicans reject global warming.

https://www.nytimes.com/2017/06/03/us/politics/republican-leaders-climate-change.html

I suspect there are elements behind this to divide Democrats, and depress the voter turnout in November

I certainly hope that people have their eyes wide open, and will not be conned by this bullshit, because that is exactly what it is

and it sure seems to be increasing in frequency as we get closer to the midterms, and as trump issues more draconian measures and appointments everyday

bashing of President Obama and the Democratic Party. Those who seem to jump at any opportunity to do so are certainly fomenting discord and divisiveness. It's hard to see a goal unless it is to depress turnout, which is the same as actively helping the republicans.

geithner's job.. and some of us said we didn't give a fuck what he was doing now.

Does the article mention what President Obama and Eric Holden are doing post Presidency?
