In what way was he "a damned sight better"?
If you mean he was easier on the eyes, I'll give ya that, anything else? Any other category where he was better than Trump?
I can't care if a president looks like the giant turd that Chet was turned into in "Weird Science", as long as he's doing the best he
can for America. Obama is not a man like that. He's a "Community Organizer" aka: Shit Stirrer.
Obama corrupted and weaponized many bureaus of the US government. It will take a while to cut the cancer out of those, and the Federal judiciary.
I disagree with all of that (except that Trump is kinda homely).
You and I both want what is best for America and an approach to world leadership that makes the world a more peaceful and prosperous place. We just have very different ideas of how to get there.
I was ready for Republican policies once Trump was elected, whether or not I liked them, but not the helter skelter foreign policy and the shit stirring that he has consistently done to turn this country into "us vs. thems." That is more than I will silently swallow. Obama was not perfect and I rolled my eyes at him plenty, but at least I knew from day to day where he was coming from and what his overall goals and strategy were. He is a thoughtful man who wanted Americans to have access to medical care and less exposure to gun violence. He wants the justice system to treat blacks equally and he will call it out when it doesn't. He wanted to stop Iran from building nuclear weapons, and he did. He knew enough to ignore North Korean provocation (look what we've accomplished now--nothing).
There's nothing wrong with being a "Community Organizer" either, btw. At least he's got beliefs. Trump just built casinos that went bankrupt.
