This is a move that will only further screw over American soybean farmers, who're being priced out of their own market.

We have a job to do. Let's find another Obama for this generation.

Exactly. He served (past tense) us well.

Now, we need to find a leader for this generation.

I haven't completely grasped what had happened to the United States.
