    Hard to argue with “charismatic”, that’s a skill and Obama is so good at it that the USA voted for a black president, twice. He got an actual nobel peace price for his campain, i.e. literally just based on vibes (which says a lot about the nobel commitee, but still).

    A friendly reminder for the people bootlicking: you can like someone as a person and support various policy victories while also recognizing that making middle eastern children fear the sky due to drone strikes is a heinous thing that rightfully tarnishes his time in office.

    I mean, make a list of the the US presidents from the past oh, 40 years. Who would you say is the most kind, considerate and charismatic one on that list?

        I remember those four years very well, maybe not so much.

        If the hostage crisis hadn’t happened, then 100% yes. But since it did happen…

    Well, except for Biden he was the most kind and considerate recent US president.

    Yes, Obama could have just snapped his fingers and ended america’s involvement in the Middle East. There’s no way he’d have been impeached or voted out.

    Obama was the best president this country has ever had. It’s a pretty low bar, so…
