Letter: Obama’s ‘losses’ are piling up

Nixon “lost” 18 1/2 minutes of tape — and, with Freedom of Press, lost his presidency.

Obama’s secretary of state “lost” 33,000 emails. Obama’s IRS “lost” Lois Learner’s hard drive and emails. Obama’s ATF “lost” track of Fast & Furious firearms. Obama’s Department of Defense “lost” hard-won territory to “JV” ISIS terrorists. Obama’s INS loses track of illegal immigrants in the millions. Obama VA lost care of veterans. Obama “lost” $150 billion to Iran to “stop” its nuclear weapons/missiles program. Obama’ economy lost trillions in national debt, trade deals, etc.

Just revealed that Obama FBI holdovers “lost” track of five months of Strzok/Page text messages on government accounts. In contrast, Trump’s presidency “loses” face with some ill-considered tweets, but his “found” department is working well to reverse Obama administration “lost” blunders.
