It’s not live

Obama might have had good intentions. I don’t know. “Might have” doesn’t matter. Hell, good intentions in many cases don’t matter.

For years, people like me warned everyone about supposedly-innocuous Obama initiatives like strengthening the CFAA and how that would only cause harm.

But no. Obama is a cool cat, he’s alright. It’s all good.

Until it ain’t.

This is why it matters what an administration does, even if it’s “on your side.” Sides are meaningless in the context of politics. Actions matter, because those actions can be built on and abused by the next person or party in power.

Some Americans are about to learn a hard lesson. Unfortunately, not nearly all those learning the lesson will deserve it.
