...ok, I don't mind that interjection, for that post is kind of funny.

In all seriousness, that was my question, minus the obvious exaggeration. One sure can mention a break of certain norms (which I consider acceptable at times) by Obama, that's fair enough. But one can not even start to use that to now equate Obama's behaviour to Trump's behaviour. There are huge areas of grey in between.
I learned that the conservative view often tends to break things down to a black and white (please, that's not meant racially, just a phrase). I don't mean to call that a wrong approach. Like most simplifications it's just a model, used deliberately or not, that fails at times to reflect reality. "Trump did wrong, Obama did wrong, Bush did good" is just too simple a truth.
