It's times like this that I miss President Obama

[WarGamer]

I like Joe and think he's doing a fine job thus far...

But I and many others have fond memories of Barack Obama. What's that expression, "cool as the back side of the pillow"??

Nothing flustered the guy. He was quite literally the smartest guy in the room in most cabinet meetings. He had a way of addressing the public that reassured folks... sometimes I just wish he'd go on TV and just say "Everything's going to be OK". People would believe him and take a few deep breaths.

No Drama Obama.

Unflappable and fearless. Brilliant and intimately familiar with EVERYTHING in his orbit.

1. We are perfectly fine with Joe Biden too nt

[WarGamer]

3. Part of it for me...

Is that he's the first President I could relate to. He's not only my age but has a similar educational background and intellectual interests.

He'll always be MY first President.

14. I love both.

I can relate to Obama more as a millenial, but my catholic upbringing really makes me appreciate Biden and his thought process alot. Pisses me off to no end that the media is railroading him non-stop.

[WarGamer]

24. I hear ya...

I also like Clinton, a lot.

The 90's were the best decade, EVER... thanks!

lol... the music, culture, the whole thing was awesome.

It's when I started my first business and it was wildly successful... everyone did well in the 90's... my parents made a fortune.

Looking back... it's my favorite decade.

[Aristus]

32. Best decade EV-ar!

I loved the 90's. It was a strange decade. I started the 90's dodging Scud missiles in Saudi Arabia, and ended the 90's happily married but earning a precarious living as a loan officer in a shady, unethical bank.

But on balance, it was a wonderful time to be alive.

2. I think Biden is doing fine. Nt

[WarGamer]

6. That's what I said, first sentence.

[Big Blue Marble]

8. Your post seems to imply that Obama would be doing it better. N/T

[WarGamer]

9. Umm... no.

It's his communication skills with the American public.

Obama had a way with people, letting them know that everything is ok. His demeanor and even the tone of his voice is calming.

Sorry if I'm "fanboying"... but that's how I feel.

[Big Blue Marble]

4. As much as I love Obama,

I am grateful that Biden is leading our country. He has decades of international perspective and wisdom
that Obama was not able to bring to his foreign policy.

Be thankful everyday that President Biden is in charge; he is not perfect but no one would be and
this is the most dangerous threat to world stability that we have faced since the fall of the Soviet Union.

[Budi]

5. Obama chose Biden as his VP because of his foreign policy chops

We're good with Joe, & Thanks Obama, you were correct.

[OAITW r.2.0]

7. Betcha Joe and Obama are on the same page.

President Obama is going to play a big role in the PR war against Putin, but he won't be stepping on Joe and Kamala in rallying the world against Putin's aggression.

[Budi]

10. Creds to Obama's signature coolness..he & Joe are one of a kind

He gave us Joe Biden...




We are a fortunate bunch, huh.

[WarGamer]

11. hahahhaa I'm soooo stealing that Obama skateboard gif.

Note the adjustment of the tie as he steps off the board! Kudos to the graphics guy.

[Budi]

12. IKR! I've kept that stashed in my dowload file forever...

Swag

[WarGamer]

13. there are lots of them

[Budi]

19. Aaaahaahhha.. cool runs thru his veins

Love him.

No wonder he & Joe Biden got along as they did. The 2 of them sitting at the very top of the world.

[WarGamer]

21. +1000

[canetoad]

15. Joe's doing fine

Unrec.

[WarGamer]

16. As I said in sentence #1

[DemocraticPatriot]

17. I'm great with Joe right now.

Sure, fond memories of Obama too. Maybe it's time to get rid of that term-limiting amendment....

But Joe is doing the job now, just as well as I expected... and right where I would want him to be, with the current crisis.

I missed President Obama much more, while the orange turd was in the White House...

[WarGamer]

18. "I missed President Obama much more, while the orange turd was..." isn't that the truth!!!!!

[DemocraticPatriot]

20. It IS something like Obama's "third term" now, isn't it?

except the right is less able to harness racism against the occupant


I always liked Joe, though, I supported him for the 1988 nomination, after Hart imploded himself below the waist. Always felt Biden was railroaded out of that race, little ado about nothing-- a one-time failure to attribute remarks that he paraphrased... was magnified by a right-fawning MSM into "plagiarism".....

[WarGamer]

22. I miss his voice. I just want to hear his voice.

I'm sounding really nerdy...

He's like that friend of yours you'd call just to hear their voice and you'd always feel better,

[DemocraticPatriot]

23. so search for him on Youtube....

[WarGamer]

25. ok :)

[MerryHolidays]

26. I love President Obama's voice

JFK had a distinctive voice too, like a bell ringing. President Obama's voice was powerful, and he was/is a master communicator.

But the central point is that Joe Biden is our President, and I believe he is doing a magnificent job. This is a much worse situation than 2008-2009 because of the health issues and the severe damage that Trump did to the US and our allies. While W was awful, there was no question that he loved the US, much like 45 other Presidents, except the Orange Diaper-wearing Toilet-flushing Russian Ass-et. Having to follow this traitor is a tough act.

What Joe Biden has had to handle is horrific, and I am totally glad we have him. He has unified basically the entire world against Putin, and I didn't think that would be possible after Toilet Trump.

Now is the time to support him 1000000%. Obama, like JFK and Clinton, were wonderful, but my faith is in Joe Biden. Completely.

[WarGamer]

27. LIke I said... Joe's doing as well as anyone could given the situation...

[MerryHolidays]

28. Sure, but when you say you miss Obama, the clear implication is that he would do a better job

Is that what you meant to say? I disagree if that's the case.

What I meant to say is what I said: President Biden is the perfect person for February 22, 2022. BHO, as an "elder" statesman is obviously there to support his brother.

And this is NOT Obama III for anyone suggesting that!

[WarGamer]

29. policy-wise... I think Obama would do NOTHING different than Joe re: Ukraine

But that's not what I've referred to above.

It's the "feeling" that Obama would give.

It's like when the pilot on the 777 talks to you over the intercom during turbulence and you just KNOW that everything is OK. The tone of voice, says the right thing... etc

So one more time. No I didn't say Obama would do a better/different JOB.

[BannonsLiver]

30. Uh huh

[WarGamer]

35. Mmmhmmm...

[demtenjeep]

31. 3posts bashing Biden

Tells me all I need to know

[WarGamer]

34. How about ZERO posts bashing Biden?

"I like Joe and think he's doing a fine job thus far..."


Sentence one of the OP.






So what's really up with you? What's your problem with me? Tell me. If you don't want to post it, DM me. I'd like to figure out what your problem with me is.

[dpibel]

36. "But"

Isn't that cute?

He quoted the first sentence of his OP as proof he's not Biden bashing.

But he seems to have forgotten the effect in English of the first word of the second sentence.

[demtenjeep]

37. yes

as my kids would say SUS

[Vinca]

33. I miss Obama, too, but the reality is that Biden is handling the current situation in Ukraine better

than Obama did when the mess blew up on his watch. At least that's my opinion.
