With a sort of “Obama awards Obama” post but I’ll still take him 100x over Donald Musk.
Now we can yell at one of america’s most mediocre presidents, actors, and movie producers.
Edit: as somebody pointed out he’s not a director, he’s a movie producer and actor per IMDB
I wonder why you’re getting down voted. Obama led us directly to trump.
It’s one thing to claim racist bigots voted for Trump as a retaliation to the Obama administration. It’s another thing to claim it’s Obama’s fault that we got Trump.
I don’t think that’s the argument being made. I can’t speak for OP but, Obama was objectively a mediocre president.
He was a wall street loving centrist democratic politician.
He campaigned on change and then he bailed out the big banks when the shit hit the fan. Sure, he had some redeeming policies. (ACA and such)
However, this does not detract from the fact that he created no tangible change to the status quo. His shortcomings led directly to the rise of the same rightwing populism that’s decimating government institutions today.
In his very short time of having a power over the Congress he achieved something that nobody thought possible. Against the wishes and the will of majority of Americans he gave tens of millions of them an access to health care, an access that they weren’t able to get before, and will not be able to get after his legacy will be dismantled in a couple if months. It took all of his momentum, all the political power to do.
For some reason you think that America is capable of some change to the better, but you people are so deep in the conservative mindset, it takes the best momentum of the century to achieve a singular good thing.
And don’t blame it on Obama or Democratic party, like you love doing so much, you are in control of your country’s trajectory (well, until Trump will go full Putin on your ass). And you collectively chose whatever it is around you right now.I gave him credit for the affordable care act in my previous comment. I weighed it against his other shortcomings.
Still mediocre.
Apparently I have a conservative mindset for thinking Obama could have done much more with the power he had.
You didn’t read my comment. You skimmed it for buzzwords you could react to.
I read the narrative you were trying to convey. He did a good thing giving protections against healthcare availability.
Why does that remove him from mediocrity?
Is it real or a fake account?
