    Obama did some good things. But mainstream democrats are still right of center on the political spectrum and are still beholden to their corporate donors.

    The downvotes are funny as it is people downvoting facts.

    I wish Obama was as progressive as his speeches suggested he was, but alas. He was able to pass a healthcare plan, albeit a neoliberal republican healthcare plan.

    Obama would probably be a decent Supreme Court justice, he has some good ideas and knows law I believe. But I don’t know if he would do the right thing and overturn citizens united

    I would buy Obama a beer, Kamala and walz and Biden for sure. I don’t think I would want to be in the same room with him, Trump I mean

      I would have accepted a centrist if he had done anything at all to dial back bushs aggressive attacks on our civil liberties and the people of the Middle East. He didn’t, in a lot of ways he ramped them up. Hope and change my ass. Fuck Obama.

        I am weaning myself off of giving votes for neoliberals after Obama. Starting with the president vote, trying to do the same for state and local elections but it’s exponentially more difficult
