what are barack obama's flaws?

bingo. they compromised before they even voted.

joe mother fucking lieberman

It was a compromise between the heritage foundation in the early 90s and Romney’s Massachusetts plan

In other words, a socialist takeover

im beginning to think obama didnt learn much from his presidency?

otm

ironically, Obama comes off as quite rigid in his clinging to "compromise"

centrists are zealots and there's no data in the world capable of disturbing the truth they apprehended staring at a bell curve on acid

Thinking of “achievement” or “legacy” in terms of legislation passed & judicial appointments confirmed is significantly limiting. It’s basically the same kind of thinking that allows Trump to believe in his own claim his administration has done the most stuff ever. But yes, if you use Mitch McConnell’s scorecard to rate how Mitch McConnell has been doing at America: The Game, he sure is a genius.

purity purity purity, only used in one context ever these days

i dont think that's what quagmire is saying

Not to rub it in, but I told you about Obama, right before his election. Circular fire squad *this*. pic.twitter.com/zxH5BFcLyu

Imagine our shock and nausea when we discovered that the first black man elected president of the USA had a calm, reassuring demeanor and moderate political views.

The best thing about the field shaping up right now is that the first woman won’t

Amy seems pretty mellow.

The tactical acumen of playing the I-told-you-so at parties.

as you know, Gore Vidal said they were the four sweetest words in English

there's certainly nothing reasuring *or* moderate about Truant Officer Harris

OK!

It’s nice Barack Obama helped finance a film that shows the depravity of union-busting. But you know what would’ve been even nicer? If he had spent political capital on passing card check when he was president!

obama is canceled

uh oh i agree with secret-muslim Indonesian sex worker and communist barry soetoro

Ok boomer.

Sounds bad dude

guys, catastrophic climate change is just a purity test so

sorry to hear this guy is cancelled, hoping the comedy store will let him get up to do some sets in a year or so after people calm down

Don't worry, his loyal alt-right fanbase will make up for it.

it's pretty amazing that obama left office for one of the most reactionary president's we've had in modern history and has decided to do nothing except hang out with richard branson and scold teens

wow what an incredibly insightful tweet, i can see why you felt the need to share it here. take that, obama!

that was via HOOS btw who is worth several thousand Obamas

i can't imagine obama breaking with the tradition of past presidents not directly criticizing current presidents (especially not the one right after them). of course, trump will break with that tradition immediately, probably as soon as the morning after the election. and you could argue that now would be a good time for that tradition to go away, but...yeah, that's not Obama.

LOL @ "A viral 100-second video of Obama has popped up on my feeds. I assume this is all he's done since 2016."

yeah he also got a netflix deal and bought an expensive house, and he's writing a book that will come out next year, and he's planning his centre in the south side of chicago. he also travels and golfs and stuff. oh and you can book him to speak for $400k

Serious Tubmans

Obama believes the lesson of his presidency is that he tried for too much radical change too quickly and it caused a backlash. That is objectively wrong but it's what he believes.

I mean, sure, on a couple of levels the results of the 2010 elections and everything that followed are "objectively wrong" I guess?

I get Pareene's point (hint: it was tribalism / racism / jade helm shit) but once again Twitter is a stupid venue to try and express anything remotely complex

if running for the presidency as a black man in America and winning the election an be construed as trying for too much radical change too quickly, then he's right. the backlash began about six weeks before he took the oath of office.

AP's tweet thread apparently based on a big NYT profile I haven't read yet

as u were

that is, go away and stfu

Obama wades into the 2020 race, warning of the dangers of listening to “certain left-leaning twitter feeds” or “the activist wing of our party.”

“Even as we push the envelope and we are bold in our vision we also have to be rooted in reality," he said. https://t.co/OioCWy4pbv

— Lisa Lerer (@llerer) November 16, 2019

We must be bold, dynamic, and even radical in appearance

I think some folks are overreacting to a pretty anodyne Obama analysis on the basis of a somewhat misleading tweet summary https://t.co/6otBAxUutr pic.twitter.com/SYuvJ1B8aa

yep people simply don’t read before jumping to conclusions

are we talking the quotes, the NYT story, or the lickass NYMag treatment?

"‘Hey, that’s great Obama did what he did,"

OK boomer

Given the timidity of the democratic Congress he worked with for two years, followed by the relentless hostility of the Republican Congress he was saddled with for six years, I'd say Obama was not the only locus of the problem, morbs.

They had a supermajority and barely passed ACA.

warning of the dangers of listening to “certain left-leaning twitter feeds”

Obama hate-reading Dennis Perrin

He only reads the executive summary prepared by his aides.

Nobody reads Dennis Perrin

if only that were true
