Horrible scandals of the Obama era, the TAN SUIT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yep that’s about as critical as the MSM could manage to be about the guy. Maybe they were scared? He did use the espionage act to lock up several reporters who stepped out of line!

personal

HELLO OUT THERE! Hello Out There! hello out there!

ECHO! Echo! echo!

Don’t care. And yeah I did vote for him too.

Ya all might be surprised that I also voted for Obama.
Once.

Also you might want to at least spell the guy’s name correctly as you nakedly fawn and felate him.

Well, since I tried twice to have your comment deleted and was unable to do that I suggest you take your comment and stick it up your ass.

All due respect.

I notice that you took my suggestion and removed the extraneous “R” in Barack from your post title.
You’RRRRe welcome, BlackBeaRRRRRd!

Obama - the only Nobel Peace Prize winner who bombed another Peace Prize winner (Medicine Sans Frontiers, in Afghanistan)
fact check that, Snopes!!!!

Better people, better times, better country.

Ya, BLM v1 were the good ole days, eh?

Back when the media spun it so damn hard that people started murdering random police.

1. Blacks are crime infested and need to be treated with brutality.
2. Left and China are mentioned in the same sentence to link them together. Never-mind that their is little in common and both left and Hong Kong are protesting against a brutal and insensitive government.
3. Conspiracy theories are rehashed
4. Focus on the fringe rioters and not the protesters
5. Claim that George Floyd deserved to be treated brutally due to his size etc

Are you able to back these claims up with some links proving you actually read these opinions?

Why is everyone responding to this trollish post? You do realize he’s just saying “you all are RAYCIST!”??
And nobody should even acknowledge anyone screaming about that. It’s a stupid ad hominem attack which requires no thought or care for the victim and as the victim you are best off to ignore the troll who levels it.
It’s literally all they got. And as long as it sparks “debate” from people who want to defend themselves, the racist left will keep on calling us racists.

The only correct response is either,
1)ignore the troll
2)punch them in the nose

Only reality TV star, con artist, bankruptcy artists with severe narcissistic personality disorder who will be ready to make all the reality based people cringe on a daily basis deserve to be President.

I agree with all you said there about tRUMP, but he still makes a better President than Hillary, who would have dragged us into war with Iran/Oceania by now. Sad that an orange sociopath is better than the other choice.

Tim, good luck with your life, I'm sure it is quite fruitful.

Don’t forget ISIS. He called them the JV team, daring them to prove him wrong. So they did.

Hmmmm!

Isn't that a CHINESE! name?

No you’re delirious, probably early stages of Wuhan virus hypoxic ischemia. Like everyone else you are dead already. Just wear the mask and die with dignity.

No shit the disease is a fucking nightmare and death sentence for a number of people who contract it. But it’s truly disingenuous for anyone to suggest that most of those who come in contact with it are destined to die or have their lungs and pulmonary systems debilitated.

Those who are railing against opposing party views and saying they hope they contract it and die are posturing themselves as imbecilic children.

"Russia are you listening" is all you got? And that was a joke about finding deleted emails from Hillary's illegal server, nothing to do with a DNC server. When you have nothing, I guess you just throw out anything.

Tim Aurora says

That is just an opinion. Can you back up with facts

Patrick says

It's a much better source for actual news and analysis than the NY Times, which is nothing but Pravda for believers in The Narrative these days.

Lol, that's just trolling.

But how about the fact that they just fired their Op-ed editor for doing his job?

When it comes to choosing a President, we always only have a choice between sociopaths. Except for W who was just a dumb puppet manipulated by Dick Cheney who was the sociopath in charge.

Reality based people should know this.

jazz_music says

Nice to see a presidential man in action.

Not that it matters, but voted for him in round one. He "spoke" presidential which is what got me to vote for him. He didn't back it up though. At all really. He really had no business being POTUS in hindsight. He had zero executive experience in any realm. I bought a bill of goods that I thought was the real deal. He may go down as one of the worst Presidents in modern history.

I think if any of us make it to 2060 (for me 80 years old) we'll look back and look at Obama as an utter joke of a leader. All talk and never backing up a thing.

I think Obama needs to become a Realtor.

Can Facebook employees properly function without the smell of Starbucks, shit and piss in their nose all day?

Well, that's the thing about Starbucks: You can get it practically anywhere in the country. And, it's really not all that great anyway. As for the "shit and piss" — I'll take a pass, thanks!

I can see that San Francisco has some nice benefits (or at least it used to have nice benefits). And the weather throughout the greater Bay Area is fantastic. After that, most people are here because of the job opportunities. (jobs in high-tech and elevated salaries of jobs supporting those in high-tech) If high-tech isn't tied to the area, expect a massive change over time.

SunnyvaleCA says

it can be done via self-service pretty much anywhere too.

President Obama guided the massive TARP program in a way that recovered more than was actually spent, by forcing banks to pay back more of the money.

APOCALYPSEFUCKisShostakovitch says

HE LIVED WITH BANKER COCK DOWN HIS THROAT

https://www.rollingstone.com/politics/politics-news/secrets-and-lies-of-the-bailout-113270/

So what did bailout officials do? They put together a proposal full of even bigger deceptions to get it past Congress a second time. That process began almost exactly four years ago – on January 12th and 15th, 2009 – when Larry Summers, the senior economic adviser to President-elect Barack Obama, sent a pair of letters to Congress. The pudgy, stubby­fingered former World Bank economist, who had been forced out as Harvard president for suggesting that women lack a natural aptitude for math and science, begged legislators to reject Vitter’s bill and leave TARP alone.

In the letters, Summers laid out a five-point plan in which the bailout was pitched as a kind of giant populist program to help ordinary Americans. Obama, Summers vowed, would use the money to stimulate bank lending to put people back to work. He even went so far as to say that banks would be denied funding unless they agreed to “increase lending above baseline levels.” He promised that “tough and transparent conditions” would be imposed on bailout recipients, who would not be allowed to use bailout funds toward “enriching shareholders or executives.” As in the original TARP bill, he pledged that bailout money would be used to aid homeowners in foreclosure. And lastly, he promised that the bailouts would be temporary – with a “plan for exit of government intervention” implemented “as quickly as possible.”

But in the end, almost nothing Summers promised actually materialized. A small slice of TARP was earmarked for foreclosure relief, but the resultant aid programs for homeowners turned out to be riddled with problems, for the perfectly logical reason that none of the bailout’s architects gave a shit about them. They were drawn up practically overnight and rushed out the door for purely political reasons – to trick Congress into handing over tons of instant cash for Wall Street, with no strings attached. “Without those assurances, the level of opposition would have remained the same,” says Rep. Raúl Grijalva, a leading progressive who voted against TARP. The promise of housing aid, in particular, turned out to be a “paper tiger.”

So yeah, all praise OBAMA! because he took bankster's cock down his throat more graciously than Bush did and trump does now...

And more, about Obama HAMP achievements:

HAMP, the signature program to aid poor homeowners, was announced by President Obama on February 18th, 2009. The move inspired CNBC commentator Rick Santelli to go berserk the next day – the infamous viral rant that essentially birthed the Tea Party. Reacting to the news that Obama was planning to use bailout funds to help poor and (presumably) minority homeowners facing foreclosure, Santelli fumed that the president wanted to “subsidize the losers’ mortgages” when he should “reward people that could carry the water, instead of drink the water.” The tirade against “water drinkers” led to the sort of spontaneous nationwide protests one might have expected months before, when we essentially gave a taxpayer-funded blank check to Gamblers Anonymous addicts, the millionaire and billionaire class.

In fact, the amount of money that eventually got spent on homeowner aid now stands as a kind of grotesque joke compared to the Himalayan mountain range of cash that got moved onto the balance sheets of the big banks more or less instantly in the first months of the bailouts. At the start, $50 billion of TARP funds were earmarked for HAMP. In 2010, the size of the program was cut to $30 billion. As of November of last year, a mere $4 billion total has been spent for loan modifications and other homeowner aid.

In short, the bailout program designed to help those lazy, job-averse, “water-drinking” minority homeowners – the one that gave birth to the Tea Party – turns out to have comprised about one percent of total TARP spending. “It’s amazing,” says Paul Kiel, who monitors bailout spending for ProPublica. “It’s probably one of the biggest failures of the Obama administration.”

Cities are generally more fun to visit than to live in.

The issue with these folks leaving the cities is that they bring their infection of liberalism with them. Note the change to Austin, Texas. No, I say: please stay in the big Ci-tay and rot.
If they were to disperse in 1's and 2's or families across the USA, our values might survive.

Maybe you were implying that Facebook in SF (shit and piss everywhere) but they're not. They're in Menlo Park, near the base of the Dumbarton Bridge and the sewage treatment plant.

So it smells like shit and piss anyway!

The bailouts were passed during the Bush era, and then Obama finialized terms which were far more favorable for America than were ever discussed under Bush.

Jazz,

this is not fully true. Please read the Rolling Stone article.

Geithner announced on March 23, 2009 a Public-Private Investment Program (P-PIP) to buy toxic assets from banks' balance sheets. This qualifies as fellating banksters, and was done with Obama in power.

It would have been enough if the BANKSTERS! would have been allowed to go broke, followed by their mass jumping out of windows. But they were bailed out - and this caused the last bailout, which will cause another one, and so on.

jazz_music says

So get used to it, this will continue until the people either rise up and force regulations once again onto our system or alternately the holders of the debt will declare our government insolvent and put America into receivership, which means corporate rule. I personally believe that is the direction that our oligarchy has set us on.

Imagine the bankers in direct control of our military and all of the enforcement and the Supreme Court set up to enact all the things that make their profits optimal alone.

I don't think they are intelligent enough for any calculation beyond looting/bailouts. If they were, their businesses would not fail and need bailouts. More likely outcome is some type of stagflation and continued looting with the current system in place, which anyhow allows the top 0.001% do whatever the hell they want.

Nearly 500 Accomplishments by President Obama, With Citations

He bombed 7 nations over 8 years, he legalized gay marriage, and he made it illegal not to buy health insurance whether you could afford it or not and he created a national discussion on transgendered bathrooms.

That's his actual legacy.

As the first black president in the United States, he spent a lot of time on trivialities and continued all the wars that George W. Bush lied us into. He was an absolute disaster for the nation, and much more of an embarrassment than Trump could ever be. That people fawn over him is absolutely disgusting. He was George W. Bush in blackface wrapped in a gay pride flag.

Hope and Change - wars didn't change. That's what he was specifically hired to stop, and he didn't. He was a complete failure, and the reason the establishment fucks didn't retain power is because he was so precisely awful.

jazz_music says

That's his actual legacy.

Negative assessment.

No comment about the 500 accomplishments list with citations either.

You really think something like:

"President Obama expanded trade agreements like NAFTA to include stricter labor and environmental agreements. http://bit.ly/etznpY"

Is some remarkable accomplishment that I'm supposed to care about? The reason YOU are pointing to articles written for a "news" paper, is because YOU don't know what Obama did. They are all weak, pathetic examples. How, exactly did Obama change NAFTA to include stricter labor and environmental agreements?

Trump destroyed the credibility of the media and demonstrated they are complete propaganda. He's also discredited the leadership of the intelligence agencies, and has exposed that the DOJ is completely corrupt. He's also demonstrated that both party leadership is pro war, and won't end any of them. He hasn't started a new war either.

That's an actual accomplishment.

I don't have to find some propagandists' puff piece to rattler off what Trump has done, and what Obama did. He was just as awful as George W. Bush, and Bush was awful.

Would the forced pussy sniffing leg lock to the neck have killed George Floyd?
