      And then he pushed for Universal Healthcare? We went into a major depression and his work pushed us out of it? Repealed “Don’t Ask Don’t Tell”? You know how shit it was to travel to other countries under Bush thanks to the Iraq War? Do you know that minorities for decades saw the presidency as a “Old White Dude club” since forever?

      People acting like they fucked around for their presidency.

        And then he pushed for Universal Healthcare?

        Which he failed to deliver despite Democrats having a filibuster-proof majority. Instead they appeased Republicans by implementing a Republican healthcare plan from the 90’s. They couldn’t even codify Roe V. Wade into law despite that being a campaign issue for Obama. For some reason the timing wasn’t right.

        You know how shit it was to travel to other countries under Bush thanks to the Iraq War?

        You mean that war Obama didn’t end because it was “too complicated” and instead killed hundreds of people (including children) with flying robots? That Iraq war?

        We’re talking about a guy who was given the Nobel Peace prize at the start of his presidency (for not being Bush) and then accelerated the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan.
