In reply to the discussion: Trump's warning against exercising our First Amendment right. [View all]PatrickforO
(15,162 posts)28. Well, yeah, all those things and more. Obama will go down in history
as a great president.
Problem is, at least for the Republican base, is he had the temerity to do all these great things while being black.
To my mind, that is the main reason we've got Trump now - he is a knuckle-dragging, racist, xenophobic backlash to Obama's presidency, wherein we had the respect of, and a true position of leadership in, the entire world.
I miss Obama. I miss Michelle. She was an awesome First Lady.
