While Dems are in 2018 mode and at the border protesting Donald Trump’s policies, ex President Barack Obama has gone fishing. Literally. In this case, to Saranac Lake in upstate New York:
The private jet is a nice touch because why not ignore global warming at the same time he’s ignoring the immigration crisis on the southern border?
Or maybe he’s gone fishing because the media is finally starting to realize that his policies are remarkably similar to those of the current administration?

According to Ben Rhodes, Obama will eventually hit the campaign trail:
“I think he’ll be out there a lot more on the campaign trail in the fall."

Even Vox is admitting Trump’s policies are similar to Obama’s, Although they’re wrong. Via the Washington Post, the Trump administration, “has freed 100,000 who illegally crossed the border.” We’d move Trump from the “entirely punitive” to “mostly punitive” on that alone:
President Obama in 2014 took a mostly punitive approach to border crossers.
President Trump in 2018 took an entirely punitive one. https://t.co/zr8Qnr4sYs
