I think a lot of people are seeing the light after Democrats are embracing the Cheneys and Obama is out there knowingly lying about the 'very fine people' hoax.

But this is always who Obama was. He made you feel cool for hating on the other side back in his prime -- but that charm is gone.

When Obama ran in 08, my brand new boyfriend at the time.. said to me “ don’t listen to what he says, watch what he does”… 16 years later, that cute boyfriend just poured me a glass of wine and said “ that guy needs to shut up!”

Obama got the Nobel Peace Prize and let Putin have his way in Ukraine. Sent some blankets.

Despite the infamous phone call, Trump actually armed them, with so slight a delay they didn't even notice. Maybe we're meant to believe that this was 28D chess by Putin, allowing Trump to send advanced anti-tank weapons to his enemies.

Trump sent Javelins, the man-portable "fire and forget" anti-armor missile, later used against the convoy from Belarus attempting to take the Ukrainian capitol, Kyiv. Putin's troops brought dress uniforms, expecting a victory parade.

I always thought he was an opportunist.

I actually volunteered for a hypothetical 2008 presidential run after his 2004 keynote speech. Luckily, by the time that 2008 election rolled around, I was listening to Ron Paul and saw right through Obama. (My suspicions were immediately confirmed when he flipped on telecom immunity.)

The interview with Obama biographer David Garrow in Tablet opened my eyes.

I came away believing that Obama is a manufactured commodity. Very little of his story is true.

Took me half of his first term to catch on. But, i never voted Dem top of the ticket again after his first term. Terror Tuesdays was the straw that broke this camel's back. Went Gary J in '12 - it was the only anti-war, anti-crony capitalism, pro-civil liberties choice on my ballot.

I think that Pelosi should have been shitcanned after '10.

Jill was on the ballot in 2012 and was all those things. I voted for her as I saw what Obama was, right after he took office and supported a horrendous coup in Honduras that lead to an exodus of refugees north. It wasn’t their fault as their country was turned into a hellscape.

Yeah, that was Hillary. They should have been sent straight to Chappaqua.

The fact that he chose her for SOS revealed his world view. I never voted Dem again.

He should have put her at VP where she could have done less damage.

Except that the VP he chose went on to do insurmountable damage later on as president. At least he has dementia. Imaging the damage Hillary would have done as the POTUS selected in 2020.

I kind of doubt that she would have won in '20. Obama backed her in '16 over Biden and she lost.

Yes, he was such a disapointment.

He was and is - that’s part of being an Illinois politician. They’re all crooked - both parties.

A syncophantic toad to the ruling classes and Wall Street where he had his cabinet imposed from. Not being black, I'm not allowed to call him super Tom but a lot of black people can and do.

Robert, you're a free American. You are allowed, and can, call anyone anything you like. Stand up and be counted.

Obama is a fake, empty-suit, Affirmative Action, DIE puppet reading the words of others off his teleprompter.

He was good at reading a teleprompter. That's about it. And he had swagger which white coastal butt sniffers value more than judgement.

I was politically naive at the time so I thought, “I really need to check this guy out! “ so I was totally open. As soon as I saw him I knew he was a total BS machine. I thank him for one thing-He woke me up.

Both Cheneys deny that water boarding is torture. Wonder what they think it's for?

that fucker was entirely manufactured, just like kemala. That psyop started in 07. the dems have been dumbing themselves down for almost 20 years since then. they cant pull that level of mindfucking off anymore. they lack the talent, the logical arguments, and people are redpilled. like hillary said, they lost total control.
