It’s not my place to tell you how to feel about Obama. He was certainly competent and effective in many ways, and if you feel that makes him, “good,” fine. However, he used drones to assassinate American citizens, he created an opaque drone warfare program that Congress has no oversight over, and he prosecuted more people under the Espionage Act than all other presidents combined, none of whom were actual spies.
Whether you believe he was justified in these actions or not, they have downstream consequences, all of which benefit Trump. When Obama criticizes Trunp for attacking journalists, it is more than fair to point out that hypocrisy. We have an authoritarian president right now, and if we’re ever going to take back power from him, we’ve got to acknowledge how we got here and take corrective action.
Obama was a good president.
His only mistake was not being more brutal to the proto-Maga trash when he had the chance.
But he mistakenly thought they were just concerned Americans, and not monsters pining for Jim Crow.
Medicaid was nice.
Anything more would have been nicer
I think he’s attractive too but he didn’t “change” much
Obamacare was pretty big, osama got killed, he really got shit done.
My family got poorer under Obama but the feelies were impeccable i agree
