Anyone rubbed the wrong way by seeing Obama back in the White House?

First and foremost this has nothing to do with race. I just did not like his performance as president of USA and I think many people feel the same way. Curious to get a take from you guys. The "joking around" at the beginning of his coronation really got me un-nerved. I just don't see him making any good decisions now that he is back working in the White house. As a general rule, after a president leaves office they do not return to politics, but this is not the case with Barack Hussian Obama.

Sounds pretty racist to me. Anyone who has to say that first is generally racist.

No.

I made it clear it was his performance not his race. For example, he destroyed the US military and left with it in shambles.

This is an accusation. You should be ashamed of yourself for judging someone elses motives when you have no idea what they really are.

Why don't you call this forum racist because there are no black mafia avatars? That's logical, in your world, right?

They may not often return in an official capacity, but they're often meddling in political decisions behind the scenes.

Pretty sure out of the 8 years in office, 6 of those the GOP had control of both houses, who also are the ones who set their Defence budget. No blame there?

Again, another baseless accusation. Because this person doesnt actually know my motives we can say he is jumping the gun.

Okay so tell me why this is a good thing, in your mind. Because Joe needs help?

I literally have a packet of popcorn in my desk and have just opened it.

one of the best presidents US ever had. Glad to see him back and working.

KompuKare · 6 Apr 2022 at 14:29

No, why should it?

I know the competition isn't great, but he was probably the smartest and most statesman-like president the USA has had for long while.

Especially if they go out of their way to include Obama's middle name which I can only see as being an attempt to make him sound foreign. The only US president who regularly had his middle name used was the second Bush to avoid confusion.

Good. Me 2. Lets keep it civil people! That's all I ask.

I honestly couldn't give a damn where he hangs out these days. Obama lives his own life he can do what he wants.

To me I feel the Trump era battered the image of America and American politics so badly that it's good to see people with authenticity, intelligence and experience in the White House rather than the cesspit Trump cultivated.

Biden I'm kind of non-plussed by, but if he's got Obama working with him that is a positive.

Anyone rubbed the wrong way by seeing Obama back in the White House?
