American Politics
I disagree on both counts. Obama wasn't bad, but he didn't really do anything extraordinary. I guess maybe the bar isn't that high, and "wasn't awful in some way or another" is the mark of greatness in a president.
And at the bottom should be Andrew Jackson. He's our country's Hitler. It's tough to compare worst when you have a genocidal piece of shit in the mix. Trump is a close second, though.
Obamacare/Affordable Care Act was pretty good for the average person.
I remember them giving him the Nobel peace prize for the accolade of not being Bush. Yet Guantanamo still stands.
Obama attempted to close gitmo. Then states started passing laws to ban the housing of those detainees and Republicans in Congress threw a giant hissy fit, including a straight up ban on housing those prisoners anywhere.
"May 19, 2010: The House Armed Services Committee rejects the Obama administration's plan to bring Guantánamo detainees into domestic prisons by approving legislation that prohibits detention centers inside the U.S."

I think the only campaign promise Obama straight up broke was regarding horse meat. It was banned. He said he'd keep it banned. Then suddenly he signed the law allowing it, so now your beef products probably also have horse meat in them and there's no requirement for companies to disclose that to you. https://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2011/nov/30/obama-congress-restore-us-horse-slaughter-industry/
Not to mention not scaling back the PATRIOT Act, and drone-striking children.
But, like, definitely top ten, right?
On the plus side for MAGA, Trump was named as Russia’s favorite US President
Die mad, MAGA.
Joe is a badass politician and statesman, and he has both China and Russia whining like little bitches
