Something Very Basic Just Hit Me Regarding IOIYAR

We all know that Trump's whole campaign message was (and, is!) Make America Great Again. Now, just think for a moment if back in 2008, Obama had made that his rallying cry. Could you just imagine the exploding heads at Fox News! I can vividly imagine Hannity saying, "So, Obama, you don't think America is already great??! What kind of a patriot are you?! This is the number one country in the world, and if you can't appreciate that, then why don't you just leave??! America doesn't need people like you who don't think she's already great!!"

There is no way that, that wouldn't have been the message over at Fox News yet when it's a republican saying "Make America Great Again," absolutely no disdain from Fox News! Again, like I said, IOIYAR!!

The nerve of a black woman implying that electing her husband would be a high point in history for America.

The media couldn't replay it enough to show how little regard her kind had for the greatest nation to ever exist.

Didn't she know how grateful she should be?

My ultra-right-wing in-laws couldn't stop yammering about Michelle Obama's remark. They spewed about it so much, they pretty much ruined the vacation we were on.
