He was a good president, **by comparison to Dubya and Reagan and Nixon and Truman. ** But everything you say is true. All presidents commit countless atrocities and are compromised. Unfortunately, a guy like Mr. Rogers has no interest in being president, and the majority of people don't see the big picture and wouldn't vote for him.

When it comes to the majority of voters, you've got to remember that these are just simple farmers. These are people of the land. The common clay of the new West. You know -- morons.

If you think he had 60 votes for single payer then you don't know much about the US government

It says you can't be "elected" a third time. Nothing about just taking it.

I don't think enough people are paying attention to that word....

They've already come up with a crackheaded, baseless explanation. They say that it only applies to 2 consecutive terms.

Logic isn't the play. They will say/do anything that gets them what they want. You can't reason someone out of a position they didn't reason themselves into in the first place.

"That's different, Obama's black."

His signature ACA bill that was so gutted and piecemealed together by the GOP that it was doomed to fail in every way possible.

We were gonna have universal healthcare and now we have $20k bills to pickup a dead child from your house.

Like it's so bad in the U.S. people are going to Mexico for medical care. Mexico!

Bill Clinton instituted Don't Ask/Don't Tell in the 90s as a means of protecting homosexuals in the military. DADT basically meant that the military couldn't conduct investigations into a person's sexuality. They were allowed to prohibit homosexuality, but they could only act against a service member who openly indicated their homosexual preference.

DADT was horseshit from day one. The only redeeming characteristic of the policy was decriminalization of gays in the military. They could still be thrown out, but the policy quickly put an end to court martial and imprisonment of gay soldiers.

DADT was a compromise, a transitory policy that never should have been needed. It needed to be retired as soon as it was enacted, and it took decades to actually accomplish.

Obama's ACA is in a very similar position. It was horseshit from day one. It was a program designed and promoted by the Heritage Foundation, a conservative think tank, as opposition to various Universal Healthcare plans. It was designed from the outset to prop up the health insurance industry that desperately needed to be gutted.

It may have been the best that Obama could have achieved at the time, but it was disgustingly terrible, and the whole thing needs to be replaced with something that actually works.

Good comment. I agree with every word you said, just thought I'd point out for the random passerby that the Copts are one of the oldest Christian groups on the planet, said to have been introduced to Christianity by the apostle Mark -- as in the author of the Gospel of St. Mark -- himself.

I have known Copts myself, though not well, and was honored to visit one of their liturgical services many years ago: they are incredibly hospitable and welcoming people, and very kind to this stranger.

More people should be aware that what you are describing is a group of actual, sincere (and not just tediously performative) Christian people genuinely persecuted and dying for their religion by Isis, and also targeted by pseudo-Christians in US government for political expediency. And it goes unnoticed because few even know who the Copts are.

Wow, bruh that sucks. Thanks for sharing this info

Is take Obama over Trump or newsome. I'd prefer AOC though

It's just here to piss off the MAGAs.

I would love it if the Lincoln Project was the one who started it. Theyre conservatives who fucking hate Trump.

I think it's about the trolling, not truly wanting Obama back in the seat.
