Was it the result of Russian meddling or FBI Director James Comey's last-minute revelations about Hillary's e-mails-or should we blame it on Obama? \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eIn this timely book, Dr. Markeith L. Porter compares the political careers of Presidents Obama and Trump. While acknowledging the legitimacy of the Trump electoral victory, the author's personal experiences with the Muslim and LGBTQ communities lead him to question the legitimacy of Trump's positions on crucial issues.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePorter points out that both presidents were swept into office on platforms promising change. Then he compares their agendas on domestic topics, including Obamacare and unemployment, and on foreign policy issues, including the North Korean nuclear threat, the Iranian nuclear deal, the civil war in Syria, and NAFTA. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eIn the concluding chapters, Porter addresses the distance between what middle-class Americans are calling out for and what, too often, politicians are offering instead-particularly concerning the social safety net. It seems that heated political debate is going to be in vogue for the near future. The author invites you to read up and be engaged.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Irma Porter,Markeith Porter\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1545278180\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781545278185\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Createspace Independent Publishing Platform\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/14\/2017\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 54\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.14lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.80h x 5.08w x 0.11d","brand":"Irma Porter","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48623244738815,"sku":"9781545278185","price":7.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/blame-it-on-obama-irma-porter-9781545278185","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
