Don’t know what I expected from the guy who overthrew Gaddafi, but after so many people were promising us he was good on Palestine I guess I expected a little better than this

    Obama expertly used the culture war to mask his foreign policy

    Did Obama actually fan the flames of the culture war? I feel like his whole shtick was vaguely progressive feel-good empty rhetoric that was tame enough to not rock the boat. He’d literally avoid talking about polarizing social issues like systemic racism or gay marriage as much as he could

    Seems like Republicans were just petty shit-flinging all while he’d spinelessly bend the knee with civility. Tho it’d be pretty funny if he intentionally wore a tan suit and ate dijon mustard to feed ridiculous criticism
