For instance, he did not repatriate defendants detained in Gitmo— even when when the US had no evidence against them. There are many more examples of shocking things the government did for those eight years. He was not a prefect president by any means.

THIS. I’m sick of the bird brained sycophants on this thread that give Obama a pass then and now.

Trump makes every former President look amazing

Come on, Buchanan, Polk, and Harding fans!

Now is your time!

Polk promised to serve only one term, served his four year term admirably, and then kept his promise of not seeking a second term.
Can you imagine Trump or Biden having the integrity and introspection to realize they aren't fit to capably carry out all duties of the presidency for four years?

You know Trump was running a shadow Presidency that whole time under Biden. These are not normal times.

But I had a feeling Polk didn't belong on that list. His name was just fun to say.

The job of the president is supposed to be public service and above all serve the American People. That isn’t happening right now. It’s so blatantly obvious that Trump doesn’t serve anyone other than himself.

Obama decided to speak up a little bit about what is going on and I thought he made some good points. The main take away is that most of us have never had to fight for free speech and democracy in our lives and that it might require sacrifice and getting uncomfortable to save it.

Hilarious how Barack talks about that's what happens in Russia. The lack of self-awareness on the DNC's part is stunning.

Mr. Obama, let us charge you in five criminal and one civil case in different states, raid your house with a SWAT team, arrest and fingerprint a former president, try to get a presidential candidate thrown off the ballot in three states, and have the number three at the DOJ exit and go to a prosecution team against you, and impeach you twice, attempt to assassinate you and on and on and on.

Happens in Russia? You mean, it happens here in the USA for the first time.

A little perspective on the TRUE current state of events, democrats.

Message to all you "democracy" touting democrats.... you tried to take out the king, figuratively and literally. You missed.

Trump could have easily avoided all that by not being a traitorous criminal.

1) I agree that it was bad. It also looked bad.
It was abusive

2) Re POTUS assault prosecutions in NY: I don’t believe that lady who came out of nowhere. The State was way too eager. The case immediately looked very political to me. Her story and the details were ridiculous.Those statute of limitation laws were meant for child victims. The State is now using those laws are now using those laws to “get” defendants. We should repeal them bc the risk for State abuse is too high.


3) In addition, I think people got hysterical about the crimes of January 6. It was a political protest. It involved a mob with lots of property damage and serious trespassing. No insurrection. these bubbas should not have been put in jails and away from their children for years and years. Jailtime is a very extreme punishment and should be done rarely and for short periods of time. I also think many federal crimes are bizarre. They over-used

4) Hypocrisy is what politicians and those in power do. Their extreme metaphors seldom hold up. so, yeah

— a democrat. female; we also need your vote!

You totally lost me here if you think Jan 6 was about property damage and trespassing. They were trying to prevent the transition to new government.

+1. The PP conveniently ignored the part where the Jan 6 terrorists bludgeoned a Capitol police officer to death, maimed several others and Trump pardoned them anyway.

The pardons ended up doing us all favor. Anyone have a current number of J6 traitors that are now in state prison or dead? Way more efficient in saving federal funds than anything Doge has done.

The rapidly growing influence of money in politics over the past 15 years has given our Federal level politicians no choice but to prioritize serving the needs of their wealthy mega-donors ahead of service to the American people. The influence of money in politics is the greatest long term threat to our people and form of government.

I think Clinton was the best president in recent history. He got business and Congress to work together, he changed welfare policies.

Agree. Not keen on his personal life or some of the mortgage stuff or NAFTA but overall better than the Bozos we’ve had this millenium.

And what did he do as president?

“Obamacare” really done by Congress and started way before he was elected.

He did safe the auto industry.

What else?

Raised two beautiful educated daughters. His wife promoted healthy eating before RFK brainwork showed up, he worked well with our friends and allies, he won the Nobel peace prize, he had a magnificent portrait painted, he promoted the Arts, he was fit and healthy, he stepped down gracefully at end of his term, he was honorable and inspired loyalty from his staff, his White House photographer doted on him via photos l, etc. etc

That made him a good father and neighbor. The Nobel prize was an odd win for him. He may have had a good heart, but that isnt enough to make a good president. He dropped the ball on transparency and getting ACA through before the midterms. Bill Clinton could’ve gotten it done. I stand by my position the Obama would’ve done much better had he gotten more experience in Congress or as a governor or big city mayor before he became President. At best, he was OK.

I think people just remember that time period fondly, it was very optimistic and it was the last time this nation felt unified.

Which was the last time the country was unified? You’re talking Clinton years, correct?

Not by 2012 they didn't. Obama squandered much good will during his second term. He wasn't able to run again, so he started pushing policies that were not popular with the American people.

What? But Bill Clinton didn’t get it done. Wasn’t that Hilary’s special project at the time? Didn’t people complain that Hilary — as First Lady — shouldn’t be involved in policy to that extent?

The point is that he COULD HAVE had he wanted to. And yes, universal healthcare was Hilary’s thing. But I don’t think he saw how that could be practically implemented. 🤷‍♀️
