Easily the best black president

So basically it's all Obama's fault because he jinxed it. Okay I feel better now.
Munchman347
Well, he wasn't wrong, was he?...
Br0doSwaggins
usernamenamesolongifyoutagmeinyourcommentyouwonthavemuchspace
As an non-american (with a reasonable understanding of American history) looking in, Obama will go down as one of the best you've ever had
Bishca
I remember when the top part was posted before the election, I said Obama gonna have egg on his face if Trump wins, someone replied (1)
Bishca
(2) You mean when Trump wins! and was downvoted to hell. I feel like you all owe that prescient son of a bitch an upvote. @NoodleSoup

Are you calling Hagrid Donald Trump? How dare you...
SabinBobo
Thanks Obama!
sas123567
Its like the election got announced and then suddenly boom, everyone hates Obama. And no he didn't put you into debt or more, you were in 1
sas123567
Debt long long before he even became president

Well there's still a chance. Oh shit no now I'm on the list again. Shouldn't have said that. :(

Oh, I think there is still a very good point in there - though a purely figurative one now.
DefinitelyNotDavidDuchovny
I assumed he meant that even if Trump was elected, he would make so many mistakes that he wouldn't be considered a real president
Begotten
No he didn't lol
kelmar6821
Prophetic
infamousxiii
If Obama were a republican people would know more stuff that he's messed up. But Pubs dont soent pointless money on smear campaigns anymore.
racecarbedx
No, not all lol. The main talking point of your debates was Trumps penis size.
DisgruntledFerret
That... Is that statement sarcastic, or is it a genuine belief you hold?
GuitarMuscles
Have you paid the slightest bit of attention to the past 8 years?
MissCinder
Like even a little bit?
sebastionloeb
I think in 20 years people will look back on him as a very good president. And before you comment why he isnt, its my opinion fuck off
HEXADECIMAL
Before he was president I did not have a job, now I do making $52k. Im down with him.
Cheomesh
Is your opinion based on fact?
Cheomesh
Wow, lots of people take offense to this.
Jugypsy
I'm fool republican, and I don't think he did a bad job
Gunsandkittycats
You never appreciate a president until they ate out of office.
LeoNim
Taft is the only president who ate out of office.
DankS0uls
I think JFK was known for eating out of office.
TheFloridaiestMan
More than half of the population makes less than 30000 a year. I thought he was ineffectual. But Trump will be a predatory crony capitalist.
ytseone
I am fucking right off, sir. Posthaste.
sebastionloeb
Good work soldier.

I just realized you were talking about Obama and not Trump, heh. Well I agree.
sebastionloeb
Lol no i hope trump does well, but its not likely

Bwhahahahhahahahabababab
FairlyOddFish
Historians tend to agree that it takes about 100 years to really be able to evaluate the effectiveness of any president.

No, Obama will be remembered as the one who helped HRC destroy the Democratic Party.

i like this angle
Fatpicasso
racecarbedx
Think that title will be held by Hillary Clinton and the ones who propped her up lol
CommonGodDamnSense
You said exactly what he said HRC is Hillary's initials and Obama propped her up with the rest.
racecarbedx
Obama did what Bernie did because obviously they didn't want a Trump presidency. They both knew she was corrupt
CommonGodDamnSense
Obama endorsed Hillary really early on way before the primaries were even close to over.
TheDeanofLean
Aren't the presidents after Lincoln, up the the 20th century, well, maybe not bad, but few remember anything about them?
TheLannistersSendALovelyFruitBasket
Mmmm, no.
GreedyJungle
For some reason I only remember the terrible and the significant.
imonewiththeforceandtheforceiswithme
For some. That's why we need to improve our education system :(
MarshmallowFluffernutterPie
Yeah, all I can tell you about Franklin Pierce was that he was young and fierce. And that he had no chin. Thanks, Animaniacs!

Whether you think it's good or bad, I don't think Trump is going to be forgotten

In 1844, the Democrats were split The three nominees for the presidential candidate

Were Martin Van Buren, a former president and an abolitionist James Buchanan, a moderate

Louis Cass, a general and expansionist From Nashville came a dark horse riding up He was James K. Polk, Napoleon of the Stump

Austere, severe, he held few people dear His oratory filled his foes with fear The factions soon agreed He's just the man we need

To bring about victory Fulfill our manifest destiny And annex the land the Mexicans command

I think it's relative to your political leaning. Some popular choices: Roosevelt (both), Wilson, Eisenhower, JFK, and Reagan, to name a few.
NOINOON
And Nixon and W Bush.
rubbarz
FDR and Teddy were legit.
ClosetEconomist
All of whom were president during the 20th century. (Refer to previous comment)
HeeBeeGeeBeeGee
I totally misread that as "from Lincoln up through 20th century" (I thought there was a different typo)

we are the lesser known presidents. you wont find our faces on dollars or cents. etc etc in song

But grant is on the 50

Most Americans have never seen a 50 dollar bill.

Well, everyone remembers Johnson for being terrible and Grant for being a war hero and ineffective, I think.

During an era where America just kinda did its own thing

I'm an Australia; I've heard of all the ones they mentioned on Futurama.
HitlersRupturedColon
You heard about mutha fuckin Jackson yet? The only president who paid, with his own money, to bring USA out of debt? He was a huge asshole.
SlutForStarWarsLore
He shot lots of people too. Neat guy.
SlotegeAllDay
As a matter of fact, while on his deathbed his only regret was not having killed quite enough people. I got that line from a Cracked article
HitlersRupturedColon
Oh yeah, Complete deuschbag. Still interesting as hell
charhan
Seems like a nice guy.
kraken003
Franklin Roosevelt changed the structure of the presidency making it more difficult for presidents to have a significant impact, he reduced
kraken003
by a huge margin the number of appointments made, for example, even your mail carrier could change with a new president now it's just the
kraken003
postmaster general that may be appointed vs hired, fewer changes in government means less control for president,
Livingstone98
You mean like Hayes, Grant, and Coolidge? Pretty much. Thing's started getting interesting again with McKinley.
Xathraphor
Everyone will remember Hayes's glorious beard.
Nephus
Now that I think about it, pretty much anything I know about Grant involves his military career.
ScientistFromSouth
Except for President Johnson after Lincoln who ended reconstruction in order to sure up the Southern vote to get elected.
HappyJello
Coolidge has a fresh fishing photo though. That's all I know
datUkrainian
Calvin Coolidge was pretty awesome
KaleidoscopeMindset

theworldhasturnedandleftmehear
I don't know much about his presidency other than the "you lose" story, and I don't care because that's a fucking awesome story
darleschickens
If I could give more than one upvote, you would have them all.
artemisclydefrog
Johnson's presidency was defined by appeasing the South, which ruined him to posterity (but did even then, which is why he was impeached) >
artemisclydefrog
Grant was an alcoholic, and surrounded himself with cronies who took advantage of his lapses to benefit themselves at the nation's expense>
artemisclydefrog
Hayes was elected by a compromise that came at the cost of perpetuating Reconstruction, costing Black Americans decades or more of progress>
artemisclydefrog
Garfield quickly died; Arthur reformed civil service but OKed the Chinese Exclusion Act, ruining him to posterity despite his reservations>
artemisclydefrog
Cleveland's nonconsecutive terms were largely taken up by the Silver Standard Crisis and his own struggle with oral cancer >
Mimsey
Grant wasn't personally corrupt. As a military man, he just expected more from those he delegated authority to than they could be trusted.
WildBluntHickok
There's zero chance of Obama being considered the worst president with Dubya before him and Trump after him.
awefulcrowded23
Keep telling yourself that. ahahahaha
DarkSock
Roger that
darkhalfbreed
Grant, good likeable guy just not president material
beaviswasthecuteone
Nearly every comment replying to this post is proof of why the usa's days as it is now are numbered. Divorce is coming. And needed.
bioskope
There's a ranking of US Presidents maintained by academics/scholars/political scientists. Obama is going to end up in 17th. Dubya is 34th...
Locolarue
Anwar Al-Awlaki, a U.S. citizen, was drone striked in Yemen during Obama's presidency.
ChapterFour
Trump was voted in because Obama ignored so much of the country. He left USA in worse shape than when he got it
beaviswasthecuteone
"Ignored so much of the country" i.e. able bodied white people who shouldn't need any fucking help.
LeCacty
Forgetting the fucking recession?
SankingDragon
People are so quick to forget Buchanan, the worst president America has ever seen or ever will.
DirtStarSnipet
People are quick to forget virtually every president. They just focus on the new and exciting and pick a new side when it suits them.
JudgeRhymehold
I remember the ones still living. About as far back as it goes :)
Shakafazoodle
James Buchanan is regarded as the worst president ever, he did basically nothing to prevent the civil war
MerToo
sure but keeping slaves was going to be a major problem sooner or later, whereas no-one really *needed* to blow up Iraq.
FilthyRedmond
Nixon, Jackson, William H Harrison, Hoover, Taft...
DreadPierateRoberts

Load the Bu-CANNON!
iputthefiresout
Ronald Reagan and trickle down economics
DontWorryYouCanTrustMe
Right? We're still dealing with the backlash of his actions decades later. IMO Reagan was one of the worst economic disasters ever.
TheLannistersSendALovelyFruitBasket
Why the hell is Taft on that list?
Muddskipper2
Beats me. The worst thing I can think of was firing the environmental guy. Pretty impressive jobs after being pres. though. Interestingreall
Muddskipper2
Nixon Jackson And Taft, while controversial, really did some beneficial things. Detente, Male suffrage, trust busts, to name a few
Halfton81
Shit, Nixon signed off on the EPA. We used to have fuckin rivers catch on fire in this country.
FilthyRedmond
True! But he was also a CREEP
Muddskipper2
There's only so much I could type :p
Halfton81
I know, I know. The Nixon/EPA thing just always sticks in my mind.
TheDeanofLean
Still happens in Cleveland I think
jsnybler
And they lead the nation in drifters!
TonyStarkWantsOne
Nah bro, we fixed that last week. Try Detroit.
Monochromatism
Can someone tell me why we dislike Bush so much? He wasn't so bad, especially not economically, which is our main problem now.
keyserv
Boy oh boy you have no fuckin' idea what you're talking about.
WildBluntHickok
The guy who put the country under permanent state of war and made "american freedom" a thing of the past? You're kidding right?
WildBluntHickok
He stole the presidency and basically overthrew the country. And passed a law that says presidents can commit any crime without reprisal.
BillyBob177
who helped bring on the housing crisis in 07-08 ,do some researh before saying stupid shit.
whooshy
Didn't he have a recession in his first term and a depression in his second? Didn't he make many laws that continue to fuck over little guys
sebastionloeb
I man he is basically soley responsible for the economy being in the shitter... i dont see how you could spin that as okay
HuntingtonBrown
If you think cutting taxes while waging a two front war is "not bad economically" then I question if you understand economics.
wwny
He was very bad economically. Tax cuts for the rich, and requiring trillions in debt to fight wars that ultimately undermined our security.
MerToo
& by "very" you mean "economy-wreckingly ruinously suicidally stupidly" but then there wouldn't have been room for the rest of your comment.
DuckPlatoon
08 housing crisis, signing the patriot act, the war in Iraq. There are other reasons, but those are some of the big ones.
MerToo
what about the time a hurricane wrecked most of a large US city but most of the potential rescuers were too busy doing a war crime in Iraq?
awefulcrowded23
because the liberals have spent 16 years blaming every problem in the US on him and this site is mainly populated by liberals
BustedTuna
Keep playing that victim card.
awefulcrowded23
I'm not a republican, let alone Bush, so I'm not the victim
MyNameIsImmaterial
You're kidding right? Pro and anti Trump posts have been about 50/50 over the last few days. It's an even split.
awefulcrowded23
it is absolutely adorable that you think that
Spetzna13
Have you been on imgir lately. It's at least a 50/50 split.
IdiotMcNoobtard
For the non-delusional folks reading us at home, this is called confirmation bias.
awefulcrowded23
for those with eyes at home, this is an asshole
GuitarMuscles
TIL that anyone you disagree with is an asshole
KujiOkashii
The only asshole I see here is you, and also that guy, and every other person here. . . I see a lot of assholes here
BananaJack
If you think W was the worst president you are a fucking retard.
IDontWannaSay
I have no opinion on the matter as a Non-American, but +1 cause I was confused as to who was "Dubya"
Halfton81
Worst? Probably not. But you're a fucking retard if you don't realize what a disaster his presidency was.
NINJACOCK
Someone tried to argue with me that Obama started the war in Iraq. He happened to vote for Trump oddly enough
FilthyRedmond
He got us involved in the Middle East, he can be called the worst
Begotten
zomg not the middle east!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! worst prez ever!@@@@@@@@@@@@@
Impossibrew
we've been involved in the middle east on and off since the 70s.
BananaJack
Have you been?
SidneyHarbor
I was well into my 20's when the 9/11 attack happened. Roughly 80% of America wanted us at war. The attackers got us in the war.
FilthyRedmond
Yeah but it was still an illegal war
BananaJack
Also Obama stationed us there and involved us in multiple other foreign incidents. So is he shit as well?
taco1910
For other reasons, yes. But the Middle East is 100% bush's fault and why we are still there.
FilthyRedmond
On foreign policy, yes
chamilitary
Foreign incidents pale in comparison to 2 wars, thousands of dead soldiers. 6 trillion dollars in debt and all it did was destabalize iraq
BananaJack
Yet the vast majority of the soldiers love him, dont act like you fuckin speak for them.
