Obama got the peace prize for literally not being W. Bush. No other reason.

Obama fans don't like hearing about how bad he was.

Agreed, the Obama administration was rotten, but boy, was he charismatic. My dislike of him has been one point of contention between my standard-issue US liberal neighbor while helping bridge the gap with my recovering MAGA other neighbor.

He was probably the best president we've had since Carter; which is just sad.

Fuck, that IS depressing. Every four years we just hope for someone less awful than the last guy.
