FYI: what you wrote above is the very definition of blame-shifting.

There is a vast difference between the national interest and one's personal interest.  Again: blame-shifting.

Why would you take offense to my negative/ not so pleasant view of Obama and the slimy term used to describe him? I've often said that I wouldn't pass on an opportunity to have a man to man talk with him about issues that are more relevant to him and his side than they are to those on the other side.

What did Obama do that was slimy?  He made mistakes as they all do, but I can't see any slime anywhere.

He has done nothing right from day one.  It's hard to make a list.  Let's take a few examples from foreign policy, since its the primary responsibility of the President:

1. He purposely failed to fill positions in the government, for reason that have proven nefarious on several know occasions.  
   
2. He's run a secret foreign policy with tyrants -- including secret meetings with Putin that weren't even witnessed by an American interpreter, and, on the one case one was, he seized the notes.
   
3. He's single handedly trashed the post-WWII relationships we've spent decades building with allies and neighbors.
   
4. Now, he's using extortion on a foreign government to get dirt, real or imagined - either is fine with him - on an opponent.
   

This could go on, but that's enough I think.

Taramarie doesn't understand the difference between the Democratic voters these days or the difference between the Republican voters and the Democratic voters these days either. Taramarie doesn't understand that the European rifts of old like fascist vs socialist or communists and Protestants vs Catholics or Protestants and Catholics vs Pagans don't  largely apply to the vast majority of modern day American these days.

You think they don't?  Just because the wording is bit different doesn't make them different in kind.  Trump is playing Fascist dictator, or trying to.  If you missed it, do some reading on the 1930s in Europe, and how Fascism grew there.  It's so similar is scary.

The right to be openly gay is fairly recent.  In fact, there is a case before the SCOTUS where the Trump administration is arguing gays aren't protected in the workplace.  There isn't much freedom if you can't make a living.

Blaming me/Republicans for the mismanagement and incompetent leadership of some blue city or the mismanagement or incompetence related to some blue persons life or the act of some greedy/corrupt blue President in the past that results in millions of American job losses across an entire country are other clear examples of the blame shifting that blues do often as well. Blaming me for something you or some other blue obviously did or said and don't care to admit is wrong that directly offends, alienates or seriously pisses me or someone else off and millions of others is another clear example of blame shifting that blues tended to do often but not as often these days. Blaming me for the Republican president who was elected while I was a freshman in high school is another clear example of blue blame shifting that's STILL going on.

Dude, I look at the blues and look at the list of all the blues wants and needs pertaining to themselves. I look at the blue system of justice as its often being used on TV today. I look at the blue media system that's in place and I look at how its being used by the Progressives today. I look at the blue ideology and I see the obvious similarity to those of Eastern Europe at one time and a significant portion of Asia today. I don't need to read a book to see a fascist, socialist or communist system or a fascist, socialist or communist mass communication system that's in place and so forth. Heck, all that's missing right now is an army and a massive government security apparatus with the power to do anything that it needs to remain in power and survive. Right now, all the Progressives have to work with is everything that's needed to attempt  winning American hearts and minds and I'd say that they reached they're peak a decade ago.

It's amazing how you guys are still red baiting (even though metaphorically you guys are the reds now). You are still fighting against communism. Isn't that something of a dead horse now? What we've got in much of Asia now is state capitalism.
