The same country elected him twice.

What do you think happens if he could have run again?
doesnt matter. when they follow you up with your exact antithesis, you are going to feel some type of way. obviously he does. looks like a referendum on his time in office. it's actually embarrassing, to be honest. obama never was good at providing a wave for other dems to win. he lost more in the midterms than trump did as well.

It does because if you think Obama would have won a 3rd term, then it cannot be that the country was looking to reject him.
not even just him as a personality but maybe his political lane. either way it means there was an enthusiasm gap. some of that lack of enthusiasm could be interpreted as an indictment of the centrist way, which obama was trying to hand off to hillary. sure hillary has high negatives, but so does trump. maybe there is something more to it than just she was a terrible candidate or had a terrible campaign. the election is not only the story of who voted, but also of who chose not to vote and why, and if this book is to be believed, obama is wondering what his legacy is going to look like

I'm not sure if that's true or not, but it doesn't change the fact that Trump was basically backlash against him.

Trump literally spent years spouting lies about Obama not being a US citizen and ran on a platform of undoing everything he did in office.


I'm not sure it's completely Hillary's fault, but regardless I can understand why Obama would take him being elected as an insult to his legacy.
And Obama was partly elected because of the backlash the country felt from the absolute failure of the GWB presidency.

I was kinda too young to be able to determine if W was related to the backlash from Clinton, but I’m sure the argument can be made.

I think with the next president, it’s gonna be an exact opposite of Trump. Perhaps a woman, perhaps a gay man. We’ll see. But the one good thing about the Trump presidency is that he’s made people so mad that they will consider a woman or a gay man, which historically is not the case.

Biden is too similar in demographics to Trump to get elected. Both are old, rich, and white. I think subconsciously the average person will think of them as the same.:jbhmm:

This is awkward. :francis: Feels like I walked between an arguing married couple.

But how is Obama gonna make even this about himself?:mjlol: Personal insult? Breh, you already won- twice! This ain't about you, breh.
I saw it as a personal insult. All the ppl that supported Obama should have voted for Hillary just so Obeezy didn't have to sit thru that Klan rally inaugural. I will never forgive the Bernouts.

There was a big political mandate in 2009. Obama was popular and people from the administration now openly saying they fukked up by not being bold and listening to the Rubinites about deficits is eye-opening.

Stimulus should have been larger.

Medicaid Expansion could have happened right in the midst of the recession.

White collar crooks being prosecuted.

Writing down mortgages and helping main street get legit help not short sales/foreclosures.

Vigilance against mergers/acquisitions especially those in agriculture that have killed rural America...remember, Obama did very well in rural areas in 2008.

Like Chris Rock said, Obama fukked up by not letting everything burn. He shoulda let Michigan and Ohio get a taste of destruction by allowing the auto industry to go down. Then put shyt back together. Its really been understated the mess Obeezy inherited. Trump makes it seem like he inherited a shytty economy when the economy is basically the same pace as when Obama was in office

:mjlol: Nobody is sitting around thinking about the effect Trump's election is going to have on Obama personally.

The fact is Obama's positives are not transferable. I think few if any politician's are.

The Bernouts voted for Hillary at a 90+% clip. A lot of Obama voters stayed home. Blame them.
