This bears repeating.

Think about it. Where we were then and where we are now.

Beloved President by many of us and vilified on the left and the right. DU is the left and he was called a POSUCS here and recommended by over 300 members here. Most gone now but not forgotten.

Obama Doesn't Owe This Country Shit



Barack Obama is not your Magical Negro. I know y’all want him to be, but you have to give the man a break. He just got out of one of the most abusive eight-year relationships imaginable. I’m sure he needs some time to decompress.

His old job is literally expecting him to come back and fix the fuckups of his replacement for free, just because he used to work there. Sir, please.
