I remember watching this live with my brother. After the speech, I had a weird feeling and said, "Wow. I really think this guy may win the nomination. And probably the presidency." And my brother responded, "Are you kidding me? A black guy will never win." 10 months later, needless to say, he was eating crow.

I remember this speech. I was crying and even my boyfriend at the time cried a couple tears. I said “That was a great speech! Someone who gives a speech like that is who we need to win the general election!” So we went to the computer and sent him some money. He is so charismatic. He made a few mistakes, like he should have declared the Flint, Michigan water crisis a national emergency, and sent in crews to replace all the pipes. That would be an infrastructure project that created jobs too. Instead he drank the water, and everyone’s heart sank. But he did so much good in office. He really made America a better place in many ways. For example, if you talk to a dreamer, you will immediately see that of course this person is American! Of course they deserve to stay forever.

@@ikidu1102 That's your main gripe- foreign policy decisions in Libya and Syria? And that's enough for you to consider him a bad president? Seriously? LOL... Hey- at least he didn't incite a riot on the Capitol Building, so there's that...
@ikidu11023 жыл бұрын
@@tominrochester First off, very bad timing to make that comparison. What happened at the Capitol Building are dumb rioters, mainly boomer manchildren who can't accept the fact that they lost the election and still keep repeating the lines of an idiot in office who also can't accept he lost the election and is no longer President. That's not even closely comparable to actual war crimes committed against civilians who are drone-striked to death. But I can agree that what Trump did was absolutely unforgivable and it's time he finally leaves office. But again, pulling another fallacy, specifically the "whataboutism" fallacy, won't strenghten your point though. Now, back to topic: Obviously foreign policy isn't the only reason that makes Obama a bad president to me lmao, but nice try though deflecting and pulling that straw men argument. (and just a reminder: Show a bit more respect to the victims in Syria and Libya; And another reminder: horrible foreign policy decisions that cost thousands of innocent lives *definitely* is actually major point to make to rate the legacy of a President. It definitely isn't the only one, but a major one. It also reveals easily what a man says and preaches to believe and what he actually does afterwards) I have and had many friends in Syria, where I actually knew around 6 people who died in drone strike attacks which were directly ordered by the Obama administration. And that was a very big deal for me actually and no it's not just "collateral damage" as inhumane and sociopathic people like to call it. There were no warnings, no evacuation attempts, nothing. They were just gone in a matter of seconds. But problem solved, right? Unbelievable... They were very important to me, they were my friends. Some even lost their family and live alone now. And you downplaying and relativizing such horrific acts of war (which could have been solved differently btw) and comparing it with a dumb riot and really bad coup d'état (or whatever that was) event organized by Trump and his stupid deluded boomer voters who can't accept a loss is very insulting and you should be ashamed of yourself for even bringing up that bad comparison. This also tells me already everything I need to know about you. No self-reflection, no empathy for human life, probably even a sociopath. If I'm wrong about you, then excuse me. But seriously, your statement was very insulting. At least show some empathy and respect to the victims in Syria and Libya. (and the many other victims in other countries the US still keeps warmongering in) The clown show that happened at the Capitol Building is not even closely comparable to real war, buddy. And I hope you quickly realize that soon enough. The world isn't the US. But your answer doesn't surprise me at all, as it's a typical Two-Party answer. Democrats and Republicans happen to be very inhumane people during their time of reign and won't hesitate ordering a drone strike, taking your rights away step-by-step, lobbys still having a major influence in congress, etc. except when election day comes near. Then all of a sudden they're all for peace, change, love and union. Only to incite another war once they start their term. It wasn't different under Bush, Obama or Trump. And it won't be different under Biden. You do you though. But honestly, everyone who still votes for either of both parties seriously needs to get their brains checked. That's just my take on it. Yes, I was a fool and a strong supporter of Obama back then in 2008. I believed in true change for a moment, especially because seeing a man with the same skin color like me for the first time in history becoming President. I thought: If this was possible after black people have been oppressed for so long, then anything was possible I naively believed. But I grew, I learned and saw things aren't that easy. And populist ideas, may they come from a Democrat or Republican, will never help us advance any further in society. I get that populist ideas and great speeches (like Obama's speeches) kinda bear the charm of simplicity and charisma, but they don't solve the actual problems. And this is what Dems and Reps still do not seem to understand. They just keep going with that rhetorics of change, freedom, guns, etc. whatever it is. But in the end, they just keep continuing their old fashioned style of feeding the military-industrial-complex, paying aid to Israel and not condemning the violence done against Palestinians by the Israeli military, or keep upholding very outdated traditionalist ideas that need a serious reform. If you actually read my comment 'till here, then good job. Most people I talk to can't even make it to this point, because apparently they don't want to read "all of this text" but still want to engage in politics xD (I wonder how these people want to read novels) I wish you a nice day.

The Democrats were going to win no matter which of the two major candidates won the nomination.)

I was one of the few who believed in Obama from the beginning. (Everybody says this, but in this case, it's the truth.) I introduced my parents to him (it was his concession speech in New Hampshire [yes we can] that finally won my father over completely) and I got them to vote for him in the primary. No question they would vote for him in the election; I didn't have to lobby there. No, we didn't get everything we wanted. But we got a damn sight more than we would have if any Republican had been elected. (Unless John McCain had been elected and then died of a heart attack. The inability of Sarah Palin to form a coherent sentence in the English language [due to her lack of sentience] would have rendered her relatively ineffective, and left things in the hands of Democrats in congress.)

No, you didn't. If you really believe in Obama's message and not voted for him just to cover your own insecurities, you would see that he's accomplished about 85-90% of what he sat out to do. And nobody gets 100% done. It's not possible all you can do is push for change and work on as much as possible.

Did you think it would be easy? Maybe you were not paying attention its about us to carry it forward and make the choices that will bring about a change. We know he ran into the great wall of bigotry and division from day one...but if you actually investigate he did more than you thought he could ...more than they thought he would without support from his own party most of the time. He was no coward and every stumbling block they put before him he prevailed.

I don't know your life or struggle but you could benefit from hearing the truth. Educate yourself and look past your bigotry and see where you could possibly educate yourself.

+Diane Johnson I have educated myself enough I know that he has taken thousands of jobs away and made our country a socialist state and he has had thousands die for his war that he said he would bring the soldiers back and that was he reason he got elected more stuff he has done is that he has dozens of gun regulations and has put us in TRILLIONS OF DOLLARS IN DEBT and he has openly said he doesn't like Christians and plus his father was a Muslim and I could keep going but yes I have educated myself
