No similarity between Hussein, Obama

Sun., Nov. 20, 2016

Michael Ramirez may have thought he was clever with his Nov. 15 cartoon in The Spokesman-Review, comparing the take-down of Saddam Hussein to that of Obama’s legacy. I was personally offended. There is not a shred of similarity between these two men except for being in power. Barack and Michelle Obama have served this country for eight years with great honor and integrity, and no personal scandals. No one can take that legacy away from them.

Not everything he has done has been right, or worked out, partly because of opposition, but I have voted in every election possible and have never been more proud than of my votes for Barack Obama. I hope “character” in the President of the United States is not past tense.
