      I find that hard to judge. Like Bush was monstrous, industrialized torture, slave labor, war crimes, a million dead Iraqis and so on and so on. Obama committed his share of war crimes but he was the serene face of dignity replacing the smirking yokel who knows you think he's smarter them him but he has the power. What I can't get over with Obama is how he crushed hope and change as concepts. You would have to be a sick madman to pay attention to politics after he proved to everyone how fucking gullible they are. Trump said correctly of the 2016 election he was going to suck the air out of the room in the debates. I feel like Obama has sucked the air out of the room for the next 40 years. He revitalized thatcherism with better branding.
