    Since she was being sarcastic it means that she is trying to say that Obama wasn't bad (because that's how sarcasm works).

    I mean… no? Sarcasm works in multiple ways lol. This is like a children’s picture book-level of understanding of sarcasm.

      ok, this has gone over my head. can you explain what she meant? her "joke" reads like a retreading of stale reddit-logo memes from /r/politics.

      This is absolutely just a regurgitation of people saying Obama's biggest scandals was the pants he wore. The joke doesn't have a punchline otherwise, barring missing context that you should have led with if there was a misunderstanding.

        Isn't the punch line holding that belief? As in she was being sarcastic in saying that the sauce was the worst thing he did. It is an absolutely absurd belief to hold and thus humorous

      I mean... sure? But that comment written by that particular person I can not see how it can be interpreted as a criticism against Obama. Unless it's a kind of 4chan humor, which is shameful to understand anyway.

      Never argue with someone from Hexbear. They're all at least comfortable with being in a community overrun by tankie trolls.
