Former president has given series of blistering speeches to help candidates in key races – and deployment has proved a hit with party’s progressive wing That could have been awkward. Barack Obama, campaigning for Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed in Michigan, acknowledged that his fellow Democrat has criticised some aspects of the Obama presidency. “Yeah, Abdul didn’t agree with some things we wanted to do – that our administration was doing – when I was president,” he told a rally in Detroit. “You know who e…
There is a direct line from the policies of the Obama era to Trump. Obama is a feckless war criminal who put us directly on the path to where we are today and the sooner he is destroyed and ripped of his influence the better.
My favorite US president for my lifetime, but he really wasn’t good for America.
He projected confidence and competence, and was a great leader, so he lulled many Americans, and a lot of people around the world, into complacency. For a bit, it felt like the 90s, we were coming back and all was well.
But we aren’t coming back, those days are gone. We have been decaying for a long time, long before Obama took office, decades before. We are rotten to the core.
Trump is a much better representative of what the USA is, he’s not fooling anybody. Well… I mean he’s fooling fools, but they are always fooled, that can’t be helped. It’s obvious what state we are in with him at the helm. He’s the President we created, he’s the President we deserve, Made in the U.S.A.
“This election is our last, best chance of at least reining him in, reining in some of the foolishness of this administration,” he said in Georgia. “It’s the circuit-breaker in the system, and we need to flip it.”
Nice to see Obama and read about his humor. What a great speaker. I have not been in a Cheesecake factory since dear old dad died in the 1990s, so I pulled up some photos of the interior decor. Hoo boy, they even have the Eye of Sauron! Yep, Obama is right once again!

Him ignoring the DNC instead of appointing a progressive chair and fixing the party back in 09 is the entire reason the last decade happened…
Don’t treat him like a hero for finally getting off his ass.
A non biased DNC would have seen Bernie easily win the 2016 primary
Shit would have been so much better if he took the five minutes to name any progressive name he could think of as DNC chair. But I’m pretty sure he just went with Bidena recommendation, because he had zero plans for the DNC.
Entire reason? I don’t know about that. Definitely partly responsible, but I feel like I could list many more reasons from just the same time frame, not to mention many others stretching back to the reconstruction.
