I mean, "Obama was in the office from 2009 to 2017" doesn't exactly feel like as much of a slick gotcha when the language also explicitly includes the timeframe of his presidency and refers to "administrations" in the plural

Obama was two times in the office in the last 10 years and Trump once. Why Democrats didn't urge Obama and FTC to stop "harmful" acquisitions in the 8 years time of Obama's presidency?

Do you really think there wasnt a single person identifying as a Democrat who opposed acquisitions? Not everything is black and white - voting for Obama does not force you to agree with EVERYTHING he did.
