We got the same economic impoverishment, endless money for cops and war (we were at war with 7 countries at once), civil liberties violations by cops, and he sprinkled in the kill list for flavor. It was inspiring watching Occupy and Ferguson protesters get the shit beaten out of them.
…and the speeches were glorious. The man had the balls to walk into Flint and tell the people there that the water was okay. Just indescribably awesome don’t-give-a-fuckedness.
Even highly intelligent people make mistakes and I prefer to believe he went into it with better intentions and capitulated too much to the powers that be and was eventually worn down.
Idk tho, hard to believe that is true with what he’s done since leaving the presidency, strong arming Biden in and mainly trying to get book/speaking/podcast deals.
For some of us, Obama wasn’t that long ago.
I miss Obama.

Appreciate you putting in the effort that I was unwilling to.
I’ve never fully understood the deification of Barack Obama, apart from him being the first black president.
He was and is a motherfucker, just one who is exceedingly well-spoken and intelligent, which makes his political choices all the more insidious.
Welp, since the 80s is been Reagan, Bush, Clinton, Bush, Trump, and Obama. Let’s just say it felt like a step in a direction.
