I didn't (and still don't) agree with his fiscal policies, and found a couple of his executive orders questionable. Won't argue with the last sentence though - I'll even give him dedicated and well spoken on top of those.

[@ClaireYunFarronXIII]

Obama is just so educated, well-spoken, down-to-earth, funny, and just generally awesome. I can't get enough of him. His vibe is just...perfect. He equally speaks for the people - whether they are majorities or minorities. He never bastardizes or thinks less of people. So much nuance in many of his detailed answers. As a minority in a few aspects, I do not feel spoken down to when hearing him speak. but rather as an equal even though he is much higher and better than me in every way. Better that he does not his ego stroked. I am not even a citizen of The United States, but I wish he would be able to come back as President. I have friends living there who need him to lead. I understand that need. Obama is truly presidential. The last President that actually deserved the title and respect. I shall see about Biden. Please be awesome, Biden. Being better than Trump is not a large achievement. Any moderately qualified and half-decent person is better than him. Be *MUCH* better than him. Be very awesome.

Yeah, too bad it's hollow aesthetic narcissistic bullshit to excuse his willful complicity to corporate and financial capital. Exhibit A: wall street bailouts. "I'm the only thing standing between you and the pitchforks." 80+% of the public was against the bailouts. He and he alone chose to protect these sociopaths, the very people that caused the crisis in the first place. No prosecutions, no anything, and of course we can thank Clinton for removing Glass-Steagall to catalyze this in the first place. Rahm Emanuel saying any consideration of bailing out the people at the bottom rather than those that literally caused the GFC would be a "moral hazard". Insane. Grotesque. Completely disconnected from reality despite his appeals to "rationality" and "reason". Relevant thread toward the imperialism he also pursued and amplified without question at the behest of finance capital and the military industrial complex: www.marxists.org/archive/lenin/works/1916/imp-hsc/ The petrodollar, the world reserve currency thanks to the Nixon shock in the 70s which took us out of the already imbalanced Bretton-Woods system established after WWII, was precisely the mechanism that needs to be protected via imperialism to maintain the purchasing power of the dollar. The international mechanism to exploit and subordinate other countries being the IMF/World Bank "washington consensus" -debt peonage/resource extraction- "loan program for developing countries". This is how we maintain the American empire and as we're seeing it's in the process of collapsing, inevitably moving toward the explicit state/corporate merger that Mussolini himself defined as fascism, the KKK being essentially the proto-fascist elements of this country now capturing people's righteous indignation about economic precarity and sublimating it toward disgusting hate and violence. Trump, the narcissistic dipshit he is, played lip service to such inevitable material decline. This is the mechanism corporate pieces of shit like Obama will _never_ talk about because it rebukes their stupid fucking "legacy". Any of this ring a bell historically? The nazis didn't lose WWII, Germany did. Carl Schmitt, despite being an actual nazi or really probably precisely because of this, offers a good insight here in his Concept of the Political. To badly paraphrase to thread it toward my point, it's basically a critique of liberalism as a denial of "the political" itself, which he defines as action taken for "friend" or against "enemy". Why this is relevant I think is because he later used this notion to craft a political strategy to exploit this liberal capitulation by accumulating institutional political power over time through this tendency of compromise as a primary principle, which we're clearly living through and essentially at the whim of thanks to people like Obama and the neoliberal establishment of the "Democratic" party. Controlled opposition masquerading as "the left". What happened at the capital is _precisely_ what this country does via the CIA (Operation Gladio is the template here) to pretty much every other country on this planet that even attempts to move toward an actually left (ie pro-worker) program. Allende in Chile being replaced by Pinochet is probably the most transparently disgusting example, but don't worry, there's plenty more! www.wikiwand.com/en/United_States_involvement_in_regime_change www.wikiwand.com/en/Operation_Condor www.wikiwand.com/en/Pentagon_Papers#/Actual_objective_of_the_Vietnam_War:_Containment_of_China www.wikiwand.com/en/Operation_Gladio 9/11 as blowback: www.wikiwand.com/en/Operation_Cyclone OOPS. OOOOOOOOOOOOOPS. Plenty more of course insanely/sadly, just a random selection. This is what is required to maintain neoliberal capitalism. Hell, he killed _an american citizen_ with one of his drone strikes. People in the middle east literally fear the skies because of this fucking bullshit. His fucking book is an _insane_ rewriting of history which touches on everything I'm saying here, even mentioning "rapacious capitalism" but then pretends there's just nothing we can do about it. Fuck this guy, please don't fall for his neoliberal bullshit. Socialism or barbarism. Also relevant, Chomsky and Herman's Manufacturing Consent, here's a convenient documentary version to watch: kzbin.info/www/bejne/e6banoqkpc2kf6s Read Marx. Hell, read Adam Smith, the "father of capitalism" himself: _"Kelp was never augmented by human industry. The landlord, however, whose estate is bounded by a kelp shore of this kind, demands a rent for it."_ Even the pope has finally recognized this: www.vatican.va/content/francesco/en/encyclicals/documents/papa-francesco_20201003_enciclica-fratelli-tutti.html I guess God himself doesn't agree with neoliberalism.

Mitch McConnell is Emperor Palpatine Some of you will die, but that's a sacrifice I'm willing to make! - Lord Trump @Justin Y. Trump is evil. He ignored this virus until he couldn't ignore it...the steps taken have been deliberately slow to contain this virus, as the government has made huge financial gains in allowing particularly older, retired people to die...no more pay outs each month...voting, if still valid in this country...is our only peaceful, legal recourse...voting 3rd party is the ONLY WAY to get real humans in power, rather than dynasty families and career politicians. When we realize the 2 parties we are divided over LOVE the division among us...then and only then may America be great again... @Justin Y. Lack of knowledge of the deep state? I just accused our government of mass murder...I understand deep state...fact that you refuse to listen, only attack, says too much about you...clearly you haven't known hardship. Clearly none of this has impacted you negatively...you are part of the problem, offering zero solutions. @Justin Y. Calling me stupid really helps your case...Trump has very limited brain power, as evidenced by his rambling, generally repetitive, toddler talks...although most of us are sorely undereducated, Trump really amazes me every time i listen to his banter. Trump did not close the borders in time, many flights to the USA brought sick folk here. Action wasn't taken until very late February, and by then 15 confirmed cases were more than enough to basically allow what amounts to airborn, quickly lethal AIDS《why this? (Because this virus mutates too fast to create an effective vaccine, which may never get made), upon the world. This is dangerous because common behaviors of common folk, such as shoulder to shoulder events, shopping and sardine packed working conditions, helped this virus along...even as people died in China daily...America went forward 2 full months wothout any concerns...then...rather than force the hands of state officials, and put the population through a 2 month quarantine, we've been seeing states react, rather than prepare...and all at the natural stages this virus thrives on...complacency among enough of us to allow the spread to continue. You refusing to see this logic isn't a blight on my mental capacity, just proves you are as simple as our Lord Trump...and likely among those very few, who like many elites, don't even understand the plight of the masses, whom I speak for, in this contrived crisis...Trump is calm about the virus because he exists outside the bounds of common folk...Trump and other powerful people would never have to take the risk of infection seriously as they are all well protected by expendable servants or can at the least afford to continue living lavishly and distanced from peons such as myself. 9/11 was an inside job and this proves what I've feared since then...that the government can perform mass murder and the people will always just accept it, hire the next sociopath in line, whichever of the 2 evil divisionary parties they aspire to dwell in... Our educational system is archaic. We could be educating everyone from home...there are no valid excuses for our current broken schooling, and no teachers need lose jobs...as the internet is an amazing communication device... Taxes are broken. Your dollar earned gets hit so many times...and we all just accept that blindly. Medicine is broken. My grandmother died because her selfish daughter needed cable tv more than grandma needed diabetes medicine...and millions suffer from the inability to afford insulin, despite that drug initially starting out as a gift to humanity from a generous genius, privatized by evil and greed, priced beyond reality for most. Our 2 party system is designed to keep us bickering...division keeps us docile enough to accept our own government conspiring to murder us, with our acceptance. 3rd party candidates are generally real humans...that care about other humans, even, gasp, total strangers and foreigners... We are all on the same damn spaceship...Earth. I judge character...not race, not whatever religion folks are born into. I am old...I am tired of seeing disaster after disaster get slow attention from government, as poor people die in thousands due to delayed or nonexistent help. It's about time the many take control, with votes, to dethrone the sociopaths that control us, play games with our very lives... When there are only voluntary homeless, when the janitor is paid living wage, when a high school graduate can earn enough in food service, or retail, to support a modest home and essentials, while creating a nest egg...when veterans are given the same care as Congress, Senate and other positions of highest power, rather than left to suffer and die, when the lowest paying jobs are enough to survive on, then and only then, can America boast of being great... As it stands...I feel most of us are born into lies we have no control over...It's well orchestrated, as my points are made clear in every satirical broadcast about the plight of the expendable masses, world wide... Do I want peace, equity and kumbaya? Yeah...I do...are there sociopaths in power oppressing the common folk...yeah...there are...have good Democrats and Republicans existed? Yes...they get blocked by evil at every turn, often resigning due to unbeatable corruption. Do I pity the very people I label simple? You bet I do...I want this planet to be a better place for most...not some...for all...if ever possible... This covid virus isn't done. It mutates too fast to pin it down with a vaccine...and we haven't seen the end of it because we, as a planet, would have to agree on a few ground rules to consider being a functional society. That's my 2 cents...some of it...take it or leave it. Most of us just exist and watch, lazily, rather than get directly involved in change. @soaringvulture We don't seem to take note...we, the expendable masses, are being told to push through life ignoring this virus...it took ONE infection to start a Planet Wide Pandemic...and because we didn't quarantine from January 1st to February, we get to watch innocent and otherwise lives lost, daily...who are "we", in "we're in it together"? Certainly not the elite...they step on us to avoid harm...I'm furious with humanity as a whole...I'm furious we accept all this death and Trump's toddler talks...like a Ted talk without useful insight... Those of us suffering are many...while the privileged watch the show They created...when...when will the common folk unite against tyranny, through the only peaceful means we have...vote out career politicians and dynasty families in favor of fellow human beings, with consciousness and compassion for the lowest among us. We won't stop the cycle of abuse by trading Democrats and Republicans, two sides of the same evil, corrupt coin. Vote 3rd party...vote for real people, with flaws, that understand what struggle is...that have put time behind any of these so called essential, yet minimum wage jobs... This economy is screwed...always has been. The vast majority of work available is menial labor...food service, retail, janitors, grocers...a great many take their wages in government...which is far too big, complex and unsustainable... Until any job can offer a modest secure household, until the only homeless are those who volunteer to live "free"...until the pill giants are mandated to make life saving medicine reasonably priced...we are a selfish, horrid nation, divided by the very people that oppress us, yet too busy fighting amongst ourselves to take any useful action towards a better tomorrow for the MANY, not the FEW...

Because he said yes we can ? Because he talks about feelings over facts ? He's the guy who legalized propaganda in 2013 , he's the guy who bailed out those banks and wall street .

Obama is like the cool uncle that we always miss.

[@Angry5704]

I just remembered how beautiful Obama's voice is. It's very powerful, yet has a sense of being able to understand almost anyone.

Trevor is so lucky to have interviews of the former president that instituted change in the free world

[@vipersb1]

Trevor! I've missed you! Hope to see your view on the events at the capital soon!

[@bronxgirl67m7]

Other than my 90 year old father, the KOOLEST man on the planet!! My President, we miss you!!

[@rasheenbrantley9845]

Shout out 2 ur Pops 4 still being here with that drip

[@rubymoon6820]

I'm looking at Trevor and I'm wondering just HOW blown away he is given the fact that his questions were preposed....if I were sitting there I would feel impowered and amazed at the same time..this man is and was an awesome choice ( given) ..and has been this far, THE best well mentally balanced minded human being we, as a nation, have ever been lucky enough to call our President.

[@prin0428]

I miss this man. Well spoken, compassionate, classy and truly he cared about every citizen under his watch. Amazing President even in lieu of Republicans fighting him on everything he tried to or did manage to accomplish for the American people. Because of him I was finally able to utilize and afford my health insurance as it was meant to be used. Thank you sir...you are greatly missed!

[@jamespatrick3462]

Good for you. My health insurance costs doubled.

[@alexs6746]

My family lost insurance entirely, now we have something where an emergency bill over $500 is covered, anything routine is still out of pocket

[@da-waterlily]

How I miss this man and seeing/hearing an actual LEADER. How did we get to where we are now?

[@michaelprozonic]

This has to be Trevor’s easiest interview……ask one question and let Obama speak for 15 minutes straight

[@allthatchas]

And actually get a thoughtful answer!

[@DJ-nk4dq]

I can’t help by feel that my IQ and decency sharply improved simply because I watched Mr. Obama speak for a few minutes!

[@animeanime6514]

If barack obama is the savior to your iq, or the standard of intelligence then that is troubling. You sound like you didnt even mean what you wrote. You just want to spew hatred. Also im pretty sure speaking well doesnt fix economies just saying

[@manswind3417]

@@animeanime6514 Irrespective of what speaking well does or does not do to the economy, at least we all can agree that nonsensical and hateful speech clouds the public judgement and does to some extent negatively affect the market. And yes, you guessed it right, the latter is precisely what Lord Trump did.

[@michaelortt9514]

Trevor is so cute with his covid afro.

[@Queen-bh1bb]

I SWEARRRR

[@rainbowwriter672]

He gets younger every week

So this is what "the one that got away" feels like? Sitting in your room, thinking about the good times with a good man who always had the best intentions and room in his heart for you and everyone around him, and wondering how you ended up with an unattractive, overweight buffoon with a violent temper and a tendency to abuse (his power). Analogy aside, my cousin recommended me to read a couple books, "The Party's Over" by Charlie Crist and "No One Man Should Have All That Power" by Amos Barshad, ones they feel are relevant to the last four years.
