      Meh, Obama got a Nobel peace prize and apparently sold it to buy more drones.

      I mean, technically he got the thing but it cheapened the meaning of that Nobel prize to the point where it meant nothing anymore

        Obama has something else that is much bigger that trumps.

        spoiler

        It’s his smile. Obviously trump always looks do sour.

    I’m surprised it’s still only an 11 point spread. I’m thinking a lot of that 33 percent are uneducated whites.

    The 22nd Amendment explicitly prohibits anyone from being elected president

    i am not sure they have read that amendment correctly 😂

    I wonder what percentage of people responding to this poll actually bothers to vote?

    A link to the polling website just says they polled “1002 US adults”. No mention of whether these people voted in the last election, or if they are even eligible to vote. Even on the linked data table.

    Also look at the suspect Fox News numbers mentioned in the article. 30% of Fox viewers dislike Trump enough to vote for Obama??? Doubt it.

    Also 77% of the people who claim to be Republican in the data table claim they would vote Trump. 11% “some other candidate”. So really, nothing has changed.

    Those prefering Obama need to be reminded who he was and not who the manufactured legacy creators have sculpted HIM out to be. He’s as large a POS as the current POS that laid the foundations and created the tools that Trump’s currently using.

      Yeah, no

      The guy definitely is flawed, he did a whole lot of shitty things and in any European country he would have never made it to any position with power.

      Having said that: comparing him to Trump is disingenuous at best. The guy is thoughtful and generally respectful and can carry a conversation, he did not go full Gestapo on Americans, he didn’t alienate every ally the US had, he didn’t go to try and destroy the country and I could go on.

      All US presidents since WWII have been shite, but I’d say Obama probably has been the best president of the US since WWII

          You’ll have to get a better source than nazi.com

          In no way am I saying Obama was a great president. ALL US presidents have been utter shite since WWII at least.

          I’m saying that from all US presidents, Obama was the least evil, and at least capable of showing empathy and carry an intelligent conversation

          I know “best president” seems like a high honor but really this is the US we’re talking about. A lot of those fuckers didn’t even support civil rights.

        BlueMAGA isnt as far removed from MAGA as they like to believe. Both refuse to see what’s in front of them regardless of their fascist leaders but see it plain as day in others
