The Obamas -- What an Amazing beautiful family.

Why can't the magats perceive it?
I hear that he's getting divorced because he and Jennifer Aniston are in love. Also us Angelenos set those fires to destroy Diddy's underground sex city.
The IRS didn't target anyone who hadn't reported as non-profit but cheated. Christian churches often lie and use non-profit status as cover; I want them busted. And Benghazi is Obama's fault? Explain how that is, if you're going to throw these claims out here without any evidence to back them.
Benghazi is an interesting one because I hate that we have troops all over the Middle East and fight stupid wars for control and influence for the Military Industrial Complex. But Benghazi happened on his watch and his hand picked Ambassador died. He owns that shit. 100% his scandal.
Never heard Obama deny it being on his watch. Benghazi was not intended, and not the result of a refusal by Obama to do, or not to do, something. Foreign policy and timelines are far too complex for your treatment here of Benghazi.
To single Obama out, and to use the event as the measure of his two terms--all of it is see through, just like Trump's invisible garments no one wants to tell him are not there. Obama did not take steps to Benghazi; he did not simple "let it happen." The way you frame it doesn't allow for that.
"Scandal" is propagandistic when one considers Obama's INTENT and his generally scandal-free terms. You and others must hang on this one thing because there is little else. Don't forget about inference and how we read what isn't said. Benghazi is a foreign policy event that most POTUS have had.
The original post tried to say Obama had no scandals in his 8 years. That's just a silly thing to say. Benghazi was not his fault. We were attacked. But having a US Ambassador killed is a scandal and it wasnt handled well. Assassinating a US citizen with a drone strike is also very much a scandal.
Try to do better with analogies. Obama's drone strike was not intended that way; Cheney meant to assault Kurds and Shia populations in the 80s--scandal. Not at all the same. Benghazi wasn't handled like a scandal; Obama officials sat for hours in public being grilled by the opposition in Congress.
Inadequate (weak) response to russia's seizure of a large part of Georgia, which later led to the annexation of Crimea and the war in Ukraine. Failed policy in Syria. Doubling of the national debt. Strengthening of "left-wing radicals" (in some cases bordering on absurdity).Growing inequality
None of what you cited was in purview of US ability to respond. Be like a Russian complaining that if US took Mexico they should respond. Not gonna happen.
If Mexico had given up its nuclear weapons in exchange for security guarantees from Russia and the USA, then yes, Russia would be obligated to help Mexico fight against the USA.
Blaming Obama for Crimea and Syria is both juvenile and totally dishonest--either by sanitization of history, or through lack of due diligence before posting a claim. Both are not professional or to be trusted.
Obama was a youth when conservatives and the GOP built the foundation for the problems in Syria we face today, and that foundation was built on a failure by conservatives and the GOP to address the unorganized physical and psychical landscape--the reality on the ground--in the area we call Syria.
Problems in Syria and other regions like it predate Obama and are the result of the end of colonization as well as conservative and GOP policies from decades past. Reagan and Cheney and their crew used northern Iraq inhabitants against southern ones, and both of them were targets of the middle.
Obama operating in ways you imply he should've and didn't would've led America then to the very war Putin is doing for himself and Trump right now. NO THANK YOU.
During his terms, Obama dealt often with Medvedev, and tried to maintain positive relations with Russia through that leader while Putin was not sole dictator, as he is now. Obama was elected by Americans who desired no more endless wars, so why would Obama break his campaign promise, Yevhen?
Not weak at all, but accurate and firm. Crimea has been a contested region forever. See "Charge of the Light Brigade" and "The Trooper" for evidence of how the issue predates Obama.
Crimea was not a disputed region; it was made so by Russian propaganda. I’m expressing the attitude towards Obama that has formed here 'across the ocean.' Of course, you may have a different opinion.
Why continue to expound when you don' have the goods? And I don't care what "across the ocean" thinks when "across the ocean" does not know history and facts, and PERSISTS in using none to defend claims that are merely opinions. Stop trying to tank our democracy with flim-flam, Yevhen. WIDE AWAKE.
"Crimea had originally been an “autonomous republic” (avtonomnaya respublika) in the RSFSR, but its status was changed to that of an “oblast’” (province) in the RSFSR in 1945, ostensibly because the forced removal of the Crimean Tatars had eliminated the need for autonomy." Such stability, Yevhen!
"The treaty as having produced the “unification of Russia and Ukraine” is hyperbolic. The treaty did provide an important step in that direction, but years of further struggling and warfare had to take place before full unification occurred." YEP, Yevhen, no conflict at all there, before Obama.
"The documents do confirm that the move was originally approved by the Presidium of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union (CPSU) on 25 January 1954, paving the way for the authorizing resolution of the Presidium of the USSR Supreme Soviet three weeks later."
"Crimea was part of Russia from 1783, when the Tsarist Empire annexed it a decade after defeating Ottoman forces; [1954--]the Soviet government transferred Crimea from the Russian Soviet Federation of Socialist Republics (RSFSR) to the Ukrainian Soviet Socialist Republic (UkrSSR)."
The best family that represents the best of America. It's possible to achieve this again, folks. We're being held down by oligarchs. Even maga folks can agree with that, & Musk is taking his mask off, taunting maga to do anything about it! That's not going to go well...
Y’all are just as bad as MAGA stg. This cult of personality stuff is disgusting. Most of y’all can’t even take people pointing out that he did have scandals, and is a war criminal.
There were plenty, they just didn't harm rich people or expose gov corruption so no one cared. "Scandals" are usually just media fodder to distract from the actual harm being done
He also did a lot of harm but it was "ok" because it was gov approved harm
The rise of nazism, anti-Semitism and the whole maga cesspool can be traced back to the fact that President Obama was simply better than any good ole boy, conservative christian white president we’ve ever had.
And the apes know it.
Deep down the maga ape knows it doesn’t measure up.
Yeah and they truly believe, to this day, that they were right. There’s no hidden shame somewhere deep down. They 100% think that they are right about everything. It’s not some show they put on, it’s deep down in their souls.
Not only do they remind me what a truly great America family The Obamas are and what a fantastic President Barak Obama was but they also out the maga apes who can’t help but grouse about the black president.
Already blocked two maga chimpanzees and it ain’t even 6 am.
They are behaving as their forerunners did when Amendments 13, 14, 15 were passed after the Civil War, and when they formed their KKK. Equal rights progress is always a few steps forward and then massive pushback by the racist American conservatives of ANY party name.
I agree. Obama was well respected and held on to his humility and integrity (mostly). It will likely be some time before we have a president of such character again.
Bailed out bankers, failed to raise minimum wage, failed to codify Roe V Wade. Admitted he was Republican lite, gave us Trump.
He wore a beige suit and saluted while carrying a coffee, so much scandal.
The pendulum swings. Bush was a response to Clinton. Obama was a response to Bush. Trump to Obama and Biden to Trump.
But now with Trump returning, this is the first time there is a genuine likelihood that institutions will be damaged, lines crossed and the pendulum broken
💙💙💙💙I have great respect for Joe and Jill Biden, but the Obamas will forever be my favorite POTUS and FLOTUS. I adored that family. Cried with happiness when he got elected, and thought we, as a society, had finally turned the page. Alas...
The worst Michelle wanted to do was roll out healthy school lunches.
The worst that Barack did was, from the Bush era, increases low information drone strikes even still. Didn't pull out of the middle east and all he managed to do was obamacare beyond those things. Which is a conservative plan.
Man I miss them. Obama & Biden, and their wives, are genuinely intelligent, caring human beings that did a lot of good for our country. And every American, regardless of their political party affiliation. They were true leaders who upheld their oath of office. It’s sad when hate makes you stupid.

Benghazi, IRS targeting, stealing reporters phone records and assassinating an American citizen with a drone strike? Any of these ring a bell?
All because of a black guy in a tan suit.
Jesus wept.
LOL

Deep down they KNOW they’re just apes.

He just looked too good in it. What a scandal!

Black Lives Matter protests started during his administration and let's not forget the cruelty enabled against the protesters at Standing Rock.
But, sure, his public image is better.

Oh...errrr....
