Can any oldfags tell us about the political and cultural environment of Obama's first term? The fallout of the financial crisis, Millennial hipsters, health care reform, Europe prior to the big migrant crisis, etc.? Was it actually better than today?

What was the deal with the Jeff Gannon scandal in the Bush White House?

Remember those massive Obama rallies when he first running for President and all the nigger women with shining faces...shining with ample tears and burbling all sorts of mad things; "Obama he gonna buy me a noo cah", "Obama he gonna pay de mo-gaj on my house" and so on...

Strange times, ominous times.

Dubya had a fetish for bald men's pates. He'd seek them out in a crowd to pat them, caress them, even kiss them in full public view.

He never outgrew being a frat boy given to mad pranks.

Obama didn't do much except he did Obamacare and he bombed the following countries at various points: Afghanistan, Pakistan, Iraq, Syria, Libya, Yemen, Somali. George W Bush was still in power when financial crisis happened and he presided over the bailouts. The "Arab Spring" happened while Obama was in office, but he didn't have much to do with it. He was in power when they killed Osama bin Laden and when they withdrew from Iraq. Overall, he really didn't do much except be the first black president.

Today is much better. Without mass migration we suffered with no easy access to delicious curry and tacos.

>>511110643
Yes.

>>511110707
You would have to understand that time period. The world had just learned, and was still dealing with the fact that the President of the United States of America had had sexual relations with a chubby middle aged roastie.

Jeff's question seemed insignificant in light of the horror we had all just endured.

Did I mention weapons of mass destruction?

Just think of it as a precursor to Trump. Obama was just doing deep state, proto-woke shit and the conservatives were incensed by him since he was so obviously a deep state asset, woke activist, race hustler, he admitted to using drugs, smoked menthol cigarettes and newports, played basketball and behaved like a rap nigger, and wasn’t even born here. And everytime the right pointed out their dislike and the illegitimacy of Obama the left became incensed about it. Obama was when the left really went off the deep end because we had just come out of the Bush years and it was now en vogue to blame Bush and Republicans for all of the ills in American city as the deep state and then when those people went after Obama it was like evil going after an innocent strong black man to leftists. The Republican hatred among the left grew under Bush but really accelerated under Obama and then went parabolic under Trump.

Om here it was all ancaps and Ron paul

Obama ran and won a campaign on “Hope”. Hope for what? No one could say really. Just hope for something different… what he really ran on was being Black. Lots of Americans voted for him because they wanted to prove to themselves and to the world that they weren’t racists. And a lot of the country wanted a change from the Republicans, just tired of their wars and “mission accomplished “ fiasco. And then there was Katrina. Katrina was a total clusterfuck. What with cops confiscating firearms, looters running wild, FEMA doing who the fuck knows. and Americans living in a football stadium. Strange times.

I'm surprised no one posted this yet, but there was a significant turn in about 2005- W's admin had been publicly feuding with the dems strongly over the war on terror but there was some sort of agreement reached- as the mid-terms predictably went to the dems, suddenly all the anti-war and bringing the admin to justice for lying us into Iraq suddenly was turned to being on the same page and "moving on." Hillary was expecting to get the tap next but suddenly this very slick black guy comes out of nowhere and assures everyone that we're now past partisanship and you can worship him now.

It's clear he went to GH and told him he could do a better job smoothing things over and keeping the train moving in ways the the Bush Cabal would be happy with, and he could be the "rockstar president."

There were a lot of dems that drank the koolaid by the gallon, and there were just as many that were angry(more?) that the party had sold out and was openly telling them that it wasn't about the issues, it was about how likeable the candidates were.

The grand theft/consolidation of the "(planned) financial crisis" was a nasty backdrop to that. Many people wanted the banks that were part of the voodoo to go under but that was never in the cards.

If I had to sum it up, Obama ran on "Hope and change" but in reality the mood (for those paying attention) was that the problems were systemic, and that the people in the system saw no problem with those things- a feature, not a bug.

There were votes put up to legalize torture prior to Obama getting in, and there was enough passive support that it probably would have flown. It was weird to witness and it's even weirder now watching people either meh or excuse the Epstein stuff as part of functioning "democracy."

Was it "better" than today? I don't think so- I think the things that happened then are still with us now, just warped a bit.

>Obama ran and won a campaign on “Hope”
There's a reason his marketing team got an award after they won the election. The message was deliberately ambiguous enough that naive people filled in the blanks with whatever their secret wish was.

>what he really ran on was being Black
That part was particularly disgusting. Trying to tie his absurd ego/desire for a legacy to the civil rights movement? He was groomed by billionaires to be the figurehead president that would be the perfect distraction after we lost a war. Even better? They didn't even pretend it was something else. I find it hilarious that MIGAs think Trump is making any policy, GH may have been the last president to actually have any decision making authority.

>>511113365
Trump seems to have decision making authority within bounds.

I didnt know that most of your population hated their own country and whites (including bunch of selfhating whites)

>>511114497
Pfff- all he gets to do it go out and grandstand. It wasn't his decision on whether to release the Epstein details, or whether tariffs stand or fall or how many H1Bs come in for Musk.

He's just happy to be in the role, and "relevant." I don't think he even cares if he ends up universally reviled- that's a big difference between him and Obama. Obama plays it cool but any time someone tries to mar his "legacy" he sends attack dogs. He's so afraid of how people view him. Trump? Why would he care? We're just trash to him.

You must be young and never seen any of the 2008 campaigning because he specifically did not. It was his opponents who kept bringing it up, not him. Clinton on the other hand ran on a "I'm a woman" campaign which is why she lost twice.

>>511110331 (OP)
Obama promised protection for whitleblowers, and prosecuted more whitleblowers than any president before him. He also bombed wedding parties. But he was personable at dinner parties of the elites, and that's what matters. Am I right?

It was boring boring boring. Everyone wanted to work for government. Even had a student advisor tell me to move to DC with a shitty criminal justice degree and when I said I have no desire to move she clicks her teeth over the phone like I was an idiot for not going to loser corruption mecca DC. Boring as hell time. Just devoid. Would not go back.

I remember he was touted as the new messiah in the American politics. There were very few dissenting voices. I remember a discussion around the election, featuring Christopher Hitchens. They were generally gushing about Obama's speech, how inspiring it was. Hitchens simply asked, what was so inspiring about it, does anybody remember any actual detail Obama was talking about. Turns out there was none.
At the next election it was painfully obvious that he did nothing spectacular or beneficial to the country. Even the Daily Show had to admit they have no idea why should he re-elected, besides being a democrat.

Everyone thought the deep state would assassinate Obama before he even got to step foot in the White House.


If a White man had been president, we wouldn't see so much hate against Democrats. Now everyone on here says White Democrats are race traitors. Obama had so many fake controversies like Michael Obama and being born in Kenya. I remember there were actually people on here who liked Obama but most everyone was a Libertarian or they were a Neo Nazi. Nobody liked the Neo Nazis because eventually they tried to get you to move into their compound. Nobody liked Republicans because of the wars. Truth be told they were still talking about 9/11 and how it was fake. Almost everyone on here was low IQ and that is why everyone got tricked by Trump. How a city slicker got country boys to believe he would solve all their problems is nothing short of amazing
