Even Obama himself says "If I'd done what Trump did...". It's obvious that he wouldn't have done, but the point still stands that most republicans are hypoocrites.
Exactly, but despite that, the message from the media is that Obama couldn't do right for doing wrong. No matter how well he performed, he will always be portrayed in the media as having failed. That's why people say, how would the media judge a democratic party leader like him acting like Trump.
No, he started putting kids in cages and having secret drone wars. He is definitely better than Trump, but that's like saying being stabbed is better than being shot. We should do better as a society and it will not come through Capitalism.
That’s a lie. He did deport more people but he did so in a more humane way - turned then away right at the border. He didn’t cage kids or most of the people deported. He knew we don’t have detention space. So stop with your lies. This is bluesky. We’re not stupid.
Even a liberal rag like USAToday says kids in cages started under Obama. You need to acknowledge what your party has done, or you are just as bad as MAGA folks. Thanks for reminding me why liberals cannot help the working class.
If you read the entire article, they’re saying it was built during the Obama admin. The goal is for a temporary hold of unaccompanied minors before they are released to HHS in 72 hrs. There’s a diff in the implementation and the goal. The Dem party is def not perfect that’s why I’m independent.
Trump’s actual policy was to separate kids from their families even when they crossed together. The Biden admin had to reunite them later and wasn’t able to reunite everyone coz the Trump admin, as always, was very incompetent and did not keep very good records and I don’t believe they cared anyway.
If you are for the working class, then we’re on the same side. My point is def not that the Dem party is always without fault. But when you compare the intentions of, say Obama vs Trump, there’s no comparison. Trump has no empathy and compassion, as in zilch. Anything and everything is about him.
If someone said to me "Will if Obama did what Trump did, you would be okay with it".
I would consider that to be them admitting, they know Trump is a horrible person & only supporting him because they are sheep. Following a crowed & ignoring the red flags because it's Trump.
Of course, Obama would not have done what Trump did. Obama has integrity, respects the Constitution and Rules of Law. Importantly, Obama cares about and respects all people and our institutions.
In my opinion, Obama was a great president. What made him great in part was his devotion to public service. Of course, a high intelligence factor and huge amounts of empathy also helps.
Having written a book on Obama's presidency, I can safely say that he helped get us to this point. His reheated Clinton-era policies (saving the banks while refusing to prosecute the Bush administration) continued an untenable status quo. Trump is the backlash to his lack of real progress.
USA exceptionalism means never looking mass of innocent lives ALL potus take in their tenure. USA has always been this way- they just have never done it to their own people.
Anyone who has even been potus would have had to have been a narcissist at the least. Otherwise, who would want the job?
I’ve been trying to figure out why it bugs me when people say that… you hit the nail on the head! It is so ridiculous to even pose the hypothetical using Obama in these scenarios.
I keep screaming this.. no one I have ever voted for would do this shit… stop saying it… and Fox and the GOP don’t care… start saying that… they suck they are evil and they are wrong..
Obama is a war criminal who bombed hundreds of civilians in the Middle East while receiving a Nobel Peace Prize when children were being killed by the drones he sent.
Trump's sopranos name; "Donny 2 fingers sexual assault rapist 2 dolls", Trump's 30 doll restriction under the Christmas tree this yr; But, Trump's allowing his two favorite Barbie doll's with no tariffs, it's literally like grabbing them by the p****: Ms Apocrypha repetitive lying White House...
Well, unfortunately that is wrong.
Obama and his AG completely kneeled down to Wall Street post 2008, and let corrupt CEO’s and bankers off scot-free with zero accountability. Trump would do that.
It also gave us the Tea Party and later Trump.
Surprised you can say anything with a clock down your throat.
Fuck you idiots comparing any other president to Trump. We aren’t going to get to vote again this democracy is over we aren’t the USA anymore. Trump will rename us
In the new America? Yes. Just ask Trump he’s a genius with the Constitution.
No one is perfect especially American Presidents. Trump isn’t even pretending to work for the people, the idiots just choose to remain silent as long as the Browns are punished more.

Obama is a mass murderer like all potus. That’s the job.

Missing those days of sanity!!!

Are you happy with the fact that he, and Hillary, killed thousands of innocent Yemeni, Pakistani and Somali civilians with drone strikes?
Btw, the racist rapist is a scumbag bawbag, but this should not be cause to ignore Obama’s ‘foibles’.
Now THAT'S a worthwhile comparison.

DOGE isn't "fixing" the government, it is dismantling it.
#Trump isn't "helping" Americans, he is retaliating against them.
Pam Bondi isn't "upholding" the Constitution, she is ignoring it.

No one in their right mind would screw over their own country and lick the boots of a felon that scams his way through EVERYTHING!
Maga DID!
Which led us to the spot we are in today.
Obama did nothing.
He didn't change anything.
Obama would never destroy America, Trump might.
For the sake of the world, America must die. Therefore, Trump is the lesser evil.
Obama exploited the 'War on Terror', executive order ability loophole
Obama didn't pass the compeleted ERA despite having run for office saying he would, and having a majority dem congress to do so
Obama is a fascist
We can't end fascism if ppl stay willfully blind to it
plus UNNECESSARY TURMOIL IN EUROPE !!

Drone kill Americans without due process.
Fund Saudi’s bombing of Yemen (plus took us into 7 wars).
Silence whistleblowers.
Obama was just as bad.
Fuck you idiots comparing any other president to Trump. We aren’t going to get to vote again this democracy is over we aren’t the USA anymore. Trump will rename us
The Americans killed were fighting for the enemy the asshole kept his family with him.
Americans are being sent to a prison in El Salvador with made up evidence
Get help.
The right has been calling me Un-American for 15 years now.
Kindly go let a horse stump train you.
You aren’t playing with a full deck.
