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.

War criminals after warcriminals. So actually "The least bad".

Obama is the Democrat Reagan.

Did a bunch of shit that was objectively bad, but he was quick witted and great on camera, with some haters who didn't like him for dipshit reasons (racism masked by "dijon mustard" and "tan suit"), which helped to alivate the actual legitimate criticisms of his administration.
