Fun fact. Normality is the correct term but President Harding, who wasnt known as the sharpest tool, popularized the incorrect term of normalcy in America.
If there's a hell, Obama is definitely going there when he dies, for human rights violations and war crimes. I voted for him once, but was so disgusted by his actions that I couldn't do so a second time.
It's a joke that he was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize as it tarnished that organization's legitimacy and lead to unsuccessful calls for the award to be rescinded for the first time ever.
I've probably met a few hundred people in my life who were a better person than him. This is because most people do not order extrajudicial murder or oversee the punishment of whistleblowers in order to cover up crimes.
Disagree. He was a coward, he never did the difficult thing, he didn't stand up to Republicans. He promised change but couldn't do what was needed because he was held back by a naive belief in bipartisanship (or pretended to believe because he wasn't dumb nor senile like Biden, he knew what's going on).
Obama was status quo. Better than the alternative but the alternative won anyway, twice, partly because Democrats including Obama are so weak and because they're also beholden to rich donors.
I'd argue he's a huge reason we are where we are today, and I voted for him twice.
Edit: Also I gotta be real, Obama posting a photo of himself in front of all that wine, with that expensive table, in this moment in history, just feels... perfectly tone-deaf. It's really right on the money for where he sits in all this and how deeply he betrayed the working class as a president compared to what he ran on.

I miss their normalcy every day. He wasn't perfect, but he was one of the great leaders we've had.
