“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.”

Obama has always been super progressive, except for a very specific 8 years of his life when he wasn't.
But it was only 8 years right so no harm no foul. Right?
Just look at the fella. Still is lithe and athletic as he ever was. His wife is as lucky as he is. Has there been a president since Lincoln as worthy of being in a wrestling ring as Obama is?
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.
He also didn't use the levers of power he had effectively. He was playing gentleman's rules whilst the real threat to the country (from within) waited for him to get out of the way.
The Supreme Court nominations is the obvious one, but he should have been reinforcing all the checks and balances in the system, possibly even relinquishing powers away from the Office of the President where they have accumulated over 250 years.
Bin Laden wasn't the threat. His own position was.
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!
He sure did use force against Occupy Wallstreet.
He sure did bail out those banks, giving them money for nothing, and they got to keep the foreclosed properties.
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.
Ffs, this guy's gonna be the new Hillary, isn't he?
Oh well, at least he's much more charismatic and better at pretending not to be a corporate stooge than she ever was 🤷🏻
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.
I'm glad he's able to accept the criticism of his time in office. He also hasn't been as critical of the left movement like others in the party have been.
