Smartest president this millennium.

@Muthafukajones Lewinski was a huge embarrassment mainly because Republicans are fascinated on other people's private lives.

@Crazywaterspring why would anyone really care about the scandal? It seemed to go on and on and on. I never cared… if he wanted to have hookers in the Oval Office I wouldn’t have cared.

@Crazywaterspring That was a serious IQ killer

@black4white That I can believe. Sorry it was low hanging fruit. 😉

@Longleggedlady Democracy does exist, however tenuously at the moment. But I think you have hit on the crux of the issue--external forces (and internal ones as well) benefit from him being in office. With someone so psychiatrically compromised and subject to manipulation, he is a gift to foreign governments for exploitation. Russia has been cultivating him since the 1980s and was ecstatic to have him in office as a tool. They were shocked at how easy he was to co-opt.

@windinhishair Very much so he is an absolute lunatic and you can play him wholesale all the way to the bank. Net worth's of individuals both internal and external doubled in his Presidency it would be very lucrative to have him back again He put AMERICAFIRST and promptly made sure you came last

@Longleggedlady Absolutely. But he convinced others that putting America last was America first, and they continue to believe their lying eyes.

@Slade

@YourMomsSecretCrush And the one before him.

@trollslayer Wages have not kept up with inflation in the past 30 or 40 years. Income is becoming more stratified over time, not less, and we currently have the biggest disparity between high incomes and low incomes in the past 100 years. Unless we have some major changes, many young people today will never own homes during their lifetimes. Income disparity is actually at the crux of many of the political problems we have right now.

@windinhishair Agreed. I read somewhere that to afford housing in my city now household income needs to be over $100k per year. I see that expense as the biggest driver of inflation, much more than gasoline, or COVID stimulus money.

@trollslayer It definitely has a huge impact, and that statistic is shocking but not surprising.

@thedarkside

@AthrillatheHunt he just rants

@MasterLee he is a great orator (BigO not JoeB).

@AthrillatheHunt empty suit

@trollslayer yeah obama ranks second to last

@MasterLee Are you joking? Biden talks like a geriatric old man. Trump can't form complete sentences. Bush - well there is a term called "Bushisms" for a reason.

@trollslayer trump talks fine. You just watch clips on some liberal news.

@ManKing "Obama is way smarter than Trump." Plese supply documentary evidence. Trump is a Wharton graduate certainly an intellectual achievement. You're right about Trump being the better president. Biden is not even close to either.

@MasterLee As much as i disagree.... i appreciate your opinion...thanks

@MasterLee Communists can be smart too. I'm not talking about political positions. I'm talking about intelligence in a general term. With the 4 presidents so far this millennium, in raw intelligence Obama wins hands down. I don't see how anyone can make an argument for any of the others.

@trollslayer Smart enough to turn a $350,000 a year job to $65,000,000. Ya gotta hand that to him, sure enough

@dancingtongue he was pretty moderate however, and had his share of friends across the aisle.

@YourMomsSecretCrush He was moderate and like Biden, some of his biggest challenges were keeping the extremists of his party under check, particularly on the economy, which always made one wonder why the right wing hated him so much.

@dancingtongue Seems like Rush Limbaugh and other right wing personalities popped up when Clinton took office. Clinton was hated by the right from the start. I always assumed much of that was being butthurt over their guy not winning re-election. Ross Perot spoiled it for them. I always felt republicans were looking for something to nail Clinton on from the start. Eventually they caught him with Lewinsky, but that was the best they could do. Obama was hated because of race. Period. Maybe they weren't overtly racist, but they had issues with his mixed-race heritage, his father being a black Muslim, his name sounding too close to Osama. It made them uncomfortable, and thus biased their opinion. Obama was pretty middle-of-the road, and pissed off many on the left for not taking more radical positions.

@Slade You racists never quit...

@trollslayer You make an accusation you better have proof

@hunkalove I don't think Carter is that bright. As for Obama's accomplishments - I think there are a few things during his terms that stand out - healthcare, whether you love it or hate it - at least there has been movement and discussion of the issue. Then things like Gay Marriage and other social changes that happened under him. As far as fostering fear and hate - I'm not so sure Obama could have done much different there. I personally know or knew plenty of folks who got riled up by his skin color and/or foreign sounding name. No matter how effective he was as president, there would still be that 20-30% filled with fear and hate.
