hahahaha at the people who think obama is running a shadow government to undo trump nah mate i am 99% sure obama has left the garbage fire that is the federal government. he did not get along with hillary, he probably doesn't get along with sanders, the republicans at large made sure it was going to be frustrating as hell, now his wing of the party is under immense pressure and is unlikely to see the 2030s. the only people in that hot mess that were and would remain his friends are his wife and biden and probably some minor staffers that have dispersed to the winds by now. c'mon dude, he's not an ideologue, he's at heart a mediator, and negotiations are starting to turn into political warfare maybe Obama will prod at state politics or something, if so i hope he does so in a reddish state instead of loving new york. maybe he might shuffle up to accept a scotus nomination if president gently caress if i know, what the hell kind of democrat will we see as president in the next decade? but there is an extremely high chance he'll just throw up his hands and spend his days as a venture capitalist or something

I woke up today and it dawned upon me that the Obama DoJ spent more time investigating Hillary's emails than it did Wall Street or the Bush Administration for war crimes. In the end he only went after whistleblowers. what a loving lousy president.

to be fair it was a republican administration that was the one that sent bankers to the slammer during the S&L crisis. kind of really hard to imagine a democratic administration ever doing that lol

It's impossible to imagine any administration doing that at this point. You'd think the Trump administration might do it if for nothing else than reactionary political pressure from the CHUDs who are gonna lose their homes, but they're literally making financial grift and corruption legal.

comedyblissoption posted:can someone try to remind me again how much different materially a republican administration would have been instead because lol Modern Dems are basically the ideal version of Republicans, but modern Republicans are clinically retarded, evil or insane. Compare the effects of Obama's health care bill versus Trump's bill and consider the impact on society. Join the Sanders wing of the party to destroy the Clinton and Obama machines basically

Barbe Rouge posted:that was his point Sure. On another note the "secret muslim" thing always amused me and when I heard people say it I would point out that he's done more to harm muslims than any other president (bombings, regime change, destabilization, supporting turmoil, gitmo, surveillance, etc). Then they'd always look away for a sec and come back with a "yeah but". lol The dude had a very respectable body count.

spacetoaster posted:You talking about bush? Yeah, he really took care of business, but Obama kept Bush's policies and strapped a rocket to them. Debatable. For all of the evil of drone strikes, at least Obama wasn't engaging in empire building and naked pillaging like Bush's cronies, or like Trump vowed to do. For a lot of domestic issues, there's clear alternate paths, but I don't really see too many clear ways we could've handled most the big issues that came up on the international front. Like do you just imagine Libya wouldn't have destabilized and/or wound up with a clamp down and slaughter of non-loyalists? Should we have not honored the Iraqi government's (and US citizens) wishes and stayed in Iraq? Bombed the poo poo out of Assad/full on invaded? Just said not our problem/not issued the 'red line' statement? Maybe I've just too bought into the neo-liberal's mindset, but I don't see too many alternatives that wouldn't have still resulted in a lovely scenario. Obama was mediocre in IR compared to my wishlist and I'm not absolving him of his sins, but we were already going full steam ahead into the icebergs.

That reads like you're saying Obama couldn't do the right thing because it might have benefited the GOP.
