Barack Obama

[sheshe2]

Dems support fair, independent districting. Why don’t Republicans?

For the same reason they want to ban mail-in ballots, and make it harder to regain your voting rights, and on and on.

They have made voter suppression an art form. They want minority rule. 🇺🇸

adopting mocking Trump in all caps. Barack may just want to yuck it up with Donald at funerals instead.
Gavin style please.

[Cha]

6. What! Why are you Dissing Barack Obama?

[WA-03 Democrat]

7. Sorry Cha

I just think it’s a bar fight to win back our country. I love Barack but like all of us has blind spots. If he MOCKED TRUMP - 1. Trump’s head would explode and 2. it would send a strong signal that must fight the pig in the mud.
Remember the Press Dinner where he forecasted the gold Trump White House. These are now the times we are in.

[Cha]

8. Not Everybody has to be the Same...

Obama has his Style And many people REspect that.

If you don't agree.. that's no reason to say Obama needs "balls"...

He's a strong, compassionate , Courageous Leader.

All this bashing of Dems is only helping Fascism.

[sheshe2]

10. Dissing Obama for not posting like the juvenile trump screaming on the phone at 2 AM from the toilet?

You claim he has no balls? What is up with that?

JHC!

[WA-03 Democrat]

15. Sorry I offended

I have rephrased this - but as a thought experiment if he just posted

“EPSTEIN”

What would happen?

[sheshe2]

21. Thanks for the apology, however you did offend, big time.

I have always been a Obama supporter.

Obama saved us from falling into an economic collapse. He suspended his campaign to go back to Washington to help the near fatal collapse of our economy. He gave us Affordable Health Care that has saved millions of lives.

He and his family suffered the worst vial attacks from bigots and racists. They were portrayed as apes because of the color of their skin.

He served TWO TERMS WITH DIGNITY AND HONOR!

He owes us nothing, nothing at all, yet when he does speak....you say he has no balls.

SMDH.

[WA-03 Democrat]

23. I retracted

The comment. Biden was the best President of my life time.
Trump is the worst.
The world has changed and social media is the biggest PROPAGANDA amplifier ever made.
Memes drive political opinion and culture now and it was a huge factor in the last election.
I wish the world did not have to fight for what I never ever dreamed would happen. USA having ICE arresting folks for the color of their skin.
I wish we did not have a President praising slavery via tweets
I wish Obama was our President. Hell I wish anyone not part of the Russian Mafia was President.

33. Too little too late about your retraction! When people like you insult President Obama's supporters,

it says a lot about you, a pretend. Democrat! DU tries it's best to stop trolls, but you got in! You last long on here!

[Heidi]

24. The situation requires all styles of criticism.

In this way, the threat is called out in many different ways by many different voices.

[Irish_Dem]

27. Obama has to be true to his own personality

And value system.

And he is not running for high office like newsom is.

[Oeditpus Rex]

32. Hey! There's an original thought!

Copying another's strategy always looks good!

[Jack Valentino]

18. If he had used the word "MOTHERFUCKERS" somewhere within,

'I would be OK with that!'





Obama was too good for a large minority of our country....

[Cha]

9. So?

[BurnDoubt]

4. Obama's Style...

I love that he doesn't go middle-school, sticks with the facts and doesn't threaten.
Subtle and clever.
One of the best Presidents of my lifetime.

[sheshe2]

34. He sent a message without words:

The man had class.

[Cha]

5. Sigh*** Barack Obama's statement

on California's gerrymandering is so beautifully comprehensive and elegantly worded.

l Like it Mucho that he shows Respect for Gov Newsom and the way he's conducting his Business.

Mahalo, she

[sheshe2]

12. Thank you. Cha!

I am having a hard time reading DU these days. I am at a loss for words.

[Cha]

13. Yeah, I tried to explain

things about that upthread.

All We Can Do is Carry On.

[sheshe2]

17. I just read that.

*sigh*

[Cha]

22. Some want Former Pres Obama to

be like Gov Newsom, whom Obama gave Props to.

I want Obama to be Who he IS!

Don't tell me we need to fire up the BOG again!

[Jack Valentino]

19. Sadly, "elegantly worded" doesn't win elections anymore,

or we'd have had Democratic presidents continuously since... 1988 ??


President Obama isn't running for anything anymore---
so I'd be very happy to see that "angry black man" now
that we tried so hard to avoid!!!!

[Cha]

20. I disagree... Obama doesn't have to be

like anybody else.

11. My respect and love for Barack and Michelle Obama grows even greater every day.

Thank goddess we had them in the White House. They have made a difference for the better in all of our lives.

[sheshe2]

14. Thank you, CTyankee.

I appreciate your post, especially after reading some comments.

TY

[CTyankee]

28. My son, who is a prosecutor in the Brooklyn D.A.'s office, says he want to see Michelle run for President. And he's a

very level headed guy!

[SheltieLover]

16. Ty, Pres Obama

[Hekate]

25. Barack Rocks

[Hornedfrog2000]

26. A very particular problem at very particular time

Obama, I love you, but cmon man. Call them fascist pieces of shit please. Can we please stop with the nice shit. Our lives are at stake lets start talking like it. I mean, you cant say they are still actively trying to overthrow the goverment? You cant say that? Really?

Im sorry, but the GOP would lynch him if they had the chance, and we play nice. You all know that is a fact.

[Tarheel_Dem]

30. Why you or anyone else feels the need to put words in Obama's mouth is beyond me. He doesn't need your help. Angry...

black man is not a role suited to Obama. He is a grown ass man, and that is not the role he was born to play. He'll never be Cornell West, and thank God. I've been black all my life, and we don't appreciate being played like chess pieces by onlookers.

[Tarheel_Dem]

29. Quintessetial Obama. His gift is that he can stick in the shiv, and still remain classy. nt

[B.See]

31. An eloquence, unsurpassed.

Must confess that during his presidency I, at times, grew frustrated because I thought he'd been too nice to the mfkrs.

But I've since concluded that it is perhaps his aplomb, reserve, his cool and unbowed swagger, that pisses em off the MOST.
