    This shouldn’t be a flex… It’s just a reminder why I didn’t understand the deep love for Obama for being a good orator who happened to codify the worst excesses of the Bush administration and basically laid the groundwork for someone like Trump to abuse the mass surveillance state Bush built and Obama expanded.

      Obviously I can’t know the intention behind the tweet, but I took it more as an attack on his fragile ego than a flex. Here’s hoping anyway.
