    Yeah, no

    The guy definitely is flawed, he did a whole lot of shitty things and in any European country he would have never made it to any position with power.

    Having said that: comparing him to Trump is disingenuous at best. The guy is thoughtful and generally respectful and can carry a conversation, he did not go full Gestapo on Americans, he didn’t alienate every ally the US had, he didn’t go to try and destroy the country and I could go on.

    All US presidents since WWII have been shite, but I’d say Obama probably has been the best president of the US since WWII

        You’ll have to get a better source than nazi.com

        In no way am I saying Obama was a great president. ALL US presidents have been utter shite since WWII at least.

        I’m saying that from all US presidents, Obama was the least evil, and at least capable of showing empathy and carry an intelligent conversation

        I know “best president” seems like a high honor but really this is the US we’re talking about. A lot of those fuckers didn’t even support civil rights.
