On the eve of President-elect Donald Trump’s inauguration, singer Barbra Streisand pens an essay for the Huffington Post (snip)
"There have been giants who served as president: George Washington helped found the country; Abraham Lincoln freed the slaves; Teddy Roosevelt established the national parks; Franklin Roosevelt pulled us out of The Great Depression and defeated fascism; Lyndon Johnson established Medicare; Bill Clinton gave the nation a budget surplus; and Barack Obama provided access to health insurance for all Americans.
Now we await Donald Trump, and I am deeply concerned for our country and the world. He has demonstrated he is both dangerous and unfit for office. Does he understand the magnitude of the job? Did he just run for president to get even with President Obama who once made jokes about him at a White House Correspondents’ Dinner? Does he want to get rid of Obamacare just because of the name?
He doesn’t just bring economic policies I happen to disagree with, or an approach to healthcare funding that could hurt millions of people. This isn’t simply a matter of Republican versus Democratic. This is a man who, on record and often on video, disparaged or outright ridiculed women, immigrants, the disabled and others. He lost the popular vote by nearly three million votes, and yet cannot seem to grasp that the president’s obligation is to at very least attempt to unite and respect all Americans.
I have great respect for the experienced politicians who have served our nation with sincere regard to improve and protect the republic, even those I have often disagreed with. I cannot, however, respect a racist, xenophobic sexist who puts us all at risk with his behavior."

Streisand thinks President Trump is clueless?
What does that say about Hillary Clinton who lost the election to him?
You were describing yourself. Good job.
#17 if her performance on a Director’s casting couch hadn’t been so above average 50+ years ago she would be a has been Aids infected 3rd rate Porno star working some biker bar dance pole for tips.
And even then the majority of the tips would be to seek another profession.
Kyle’s Mom is a big fat slut.
Hey Babs, I’d wish that your therapy dog would lick your tears away but I don’t want to promote animal abuse.
I regularly hear singers as good as BS on the singing shows and even locally. Tell me again why we should listen to her political posturings?
Babs is just like homobama: they are so 2008.
Proggies think all others are as heart-rotted as they are.
Babs streisand. Woman of the people. She has her pulse on the will of the people. She sometimes observes the house keeper at her Malibu compound.
Did not. That was Newt Gingrich.
Trump built hotels in Vegas where ordinary hard working Americans could have a good time. Streisand is the type of performer who plays at one of these hotels and treats the staff like crap and makes them hate her.
She should go break some mirrors by gazing into them. Mindless ninny.
Good name for a law firm.
She’s coming around.. she did say “our President Elect”.
Poor Babs. Can’t understand normal thinking.
“Bill Clinton gave the nation a budget surplus””
Guess again, Babs. Don’t believe everything you hear and only 1/2 of what you see!
Is she still here? She promised to move after the election.
Farewell, so long, Auf Wiedersehen, good bye.
