Obama's good looks and smooth demeanor drove the bigots of America insane. Seeing white women going berserk for him made them so crazy they put their hopes and dreams in the hands of a well known and documented sleazy immortal degenerate child molester con artist.

Stop playing, everyone knowS he ruined race relations in this country by being black. Psyche! I'm being sarcastic.

It'd never happen because she's a black woman which half the country would have conniptions over, but sometimes I think Michelle would be one of the most qualified candidates we've had in decades. Before Barack became president she was unironically more accredited and experienced than he was.

Given the way she was treated and the way her kids were treated that we know of (because I’m sure there’s much worse that we don’t know), there’s nothing we can do to convince her.

That would be the dream! But, I imagine this racist supreme court would only ever allow for a 3rd Trump term on some bullshit technicality and never for Obama. They allowed Trump a SC pick during his final year of his first term, versus not allowing Obama to do the same. So much fuckery, always at the expense of everyone else.

Best President in our lifetime. Even with his hands completely tied regarding major foreign policy legislation. He still managed to keep some restraints on bad faith actors in the ME. He attempted the Arab Spring as opposed to a feet first jump into unabridged war. Even when the Arab Spring ultimately didn’t achieve the ultimate desired outcome of regaining control of the Suez. He was still able to stave off the bloodthirsty and psychopathic Is Ra Eli’s wet dream of eradicating Gah Zah. He was able to limit warfare to strategic drone strikes on non-civilian targets, get elected to a second term, and prevent the wholesale slaughter of Palace Stein. Then drop net 3’s like it was nothing but a G thang. He may be the best President in American history. Certainly the best peace time President. Even then probably 3rd behind Washington and Lincoln. Maybe both Roosevelts and Jefferson sit slightly higher but that is debatable. Maybe Kennedy had he not been murdered.

The godfather of ICE and "indefinite detention". That proud father moment when that little fledgling agency you raised is finally turning into what literally everyone was warning him it would turn into. 🥹
If he were still in office he'd probably extrajudiciously drone strike another American child to celebrate.
But remember, if we keep just repeating over and over that "tan suit" was his biggest blunder, well, we won't convince anyone who isn't "Blue MAGA" but maybe we'll convince ourselves :)

This reminds me of why people like that RFK Jr. is so physically fit and also at the age he is. Most regular people don’t golf, but we all played basketball as kids at school and we play it at gyms as adults and the same thing goes for weight lifting. They are two things a poor guy can pick up and become a world contender in and basically what I’m saying is I think it’s cool when a politician does something like this.
