    I was born in 85 and I don’t remember it ever being this bad. The whole thing with Bill Clinton and Monica Lewinsky was a circus but that only lasted for like a year or two. GWB was just constantly made fun of for being a idiot, I don’t really remember Obama doing anything worth lampooning.

      Right, it was never this bad. But if you go back just to Obama, look at the rights response to his very existence. Questioning his birth certificate. Then one day he wore the wrong color suit. He wore like a tan suit or something and everyone shit a brick. It’s always been there, underlying. Just now it’s so much more blatant.
