Poll: Obama the greatest president of their lifetime
- Thread starter playahaitian
- Start date
Definitely the most likable president. Bill is a very close second.
And Trump is making him even better
In terms of "greatness," accomplishments and likability, Clinton is fading fast.
He'd be by far the most right-wing Democrat running for president today, which speaks to his complete lack of influence. Sadly, the same will be true for Obama pretty soon. Obama always ran as a progressive and governed as a centrist-- Neither he nor Clinton will leave much of an imprint politically. Obama's big legislative accomplishment, the ACA, will go down in history as a very temporary stepping stone, nothing like LBJ's social security or Medicare. Clinton didn't even have a major legislative accomplishment, so he is nowhere near Obama's class.
No scandals is a big plus for Obama. We're only twenty years past Clinton's presidency and members of his own party didn't even want to campaign with him last year. #MeToo did a number on his legacy (rightfully so IMO) and tarnishes his likability.
I have Obama top-five all-time but there's a big difference between spots #1-2 and 4-5. Clinton is just middle of the pack, easily the most overrated Democrat in modern history. History will not be kind to him. Obama obviously will have a much more enduring legacy and emotional pull with people as the real "first black president."
He’s the best president for everybody who’s not black. Obeezy put in work for everybody except the negro but the dumb negro celebrates Obama to this day. But they’ll tell you he was the president of everybody even though groups had Obama do things for them individually.
So who has been the best president for black people, Megatron?
I BET you can't answer that. (With a real answer, not President Farrakhan.)
Obama did plenty that helped black people but simple-minded absolutists can't comprehend what was good because nothing was perfect.
What did Obama do specifically to help the so-called black community? I’m not talking about policies that were beneficial to all but policies that were specific to only so-called black people (non-immigrants and non-LGBT)
So who has been the best president in your lifetime?
Exactly.
And this moronic specificity requirement. I'm not sure it's made in good faith because it's so stupid.
Stop it
Man, billy boy clinton did so much damage to the copper color people, its unbelievable!!
Right on, write on!!
Bruh, the deception agenda has a strangle hold on the masses!!
Black folks who claim Obama didn't do enough for blacks crack me up.
You dumb asses don't realize that what he does was legitimize the entire African American community as competent to do ANYTHING well in America. It was BIGGER than what he specifically did for us. He shattered the stereotype of what a black person couldn't do. And he did this by being a GOOD PRESIDENT. Thats what fucks up Donald Trump, that Barack was a very good president, and the masses know it. Barack's gift tops was NO SCANDALS, NO FAMILY ISSUES. Quality, competence, class, dignity. Thats what he did for black people............you dumb asses.

I wouldn’t vote “best” for any one of them.
Nothing wrong with a specificity requirement at all. People vote for politicians that operate in their best interests.
The pro-whites on BGOL don’t understand this and put more superficial barriers up than anyone.
Typical response -
Black wife?
Likes basketball?
Hangs with rappers?
That’s MY president!
Bails out the bankers and auto-industry?
Protects the police?
Pays reparations to the $5 Indians and Khazars?
Well, his hands are tied and the POTUS has no real power!
@roots69 is right that the brainwashing is so deep the only way to fix it is deprogramming or removal.

What really should’ve been a slap in the face to these stupid niggaz was when Obama passed the Blue Alert law. Niggaz up here getting unjustly murdered by police and then Obama empowers the police even more??!?
You had to know what this thread was gonna become
pretty sure you know it's not made in good faith bro lol
Best President based on what.....most likeable based on what....
Howard Stern said in the 90’s something that always stuck me when he said,
“Why can’t you black guys be more like Boyz to Men’”......
We have to be careful with who we allow white america to propel as our role models.
Don’t forget, white america hated MLK until they met Malcolm.
Anyone who fails to address the obvious disparities that continue to occur in this country
as a result of systemic inequities is just continuing the status quo...
I like Obama, but he was handpicked and played his position.......oh.....and Libya
Carry on.....
Okay can you list the specifics he did for black Americans?
None of his supporters can which is why they deflect.
They’ll only reply back with an emotional response and nothing fact based on specific policy.
All they can say is symbolism

All they can say is symbolism
Well said.
Just to throw out one, 8% of black Americans without health coverage when Obama became president had coverage by the end of his term.
That's specific and concrete. I can list many more but let's just see if you accept this to start.
I just don't understand what they get out of it at all.
Doesn't take much to entertain a walnut brain
off the dome...got Black farmers their money that the government held from them under 3 different presidential terms.
my brothers keeper program
most money spent on HBCUs than any other president in history.
damn near 70 appointments of Black judges to FEDERAL courts. the most ever.
now dont be an asshole and say this isnt enough, or minimize the significance of this.
its historic, done specifically for Black folks, and no white president ever did as much IF ANYTHING specifically for Black people.
Okay.
The majority of people dont wanna see, we are in the early stages of a police state!! Most people have the motto Im not doing anything wrong and it doesnt effect me, so I have nothing to worry about!! Until, its standing at their front door and the military police is kicking in their front door!!
Its damn near impossible to get the masses to understand, these presidents are selected decades in advance!! All they are is, just actors playing a part and following the script thats in front of them!! Elections are nothing but a gauge, it just shows the money/ruling class that the people are still buying into the ILLUSION!! However, when you point out to the masses, "presidents change every 4 - 8yrs, but the policy and direction of the corporation stays on the same course"!! All you ever hear is crickets!! Anyway schoolhouse rock, mcgraw & hill, indoctrination centers and all forms of media, has put the majority of the population in a deep coma state!! These people are so indoctrinated, that they will fight you with all they got, to defend the ILLUSION!! The sad part is, this corporation even makes it public the colony isnt as great as they claim!! But the masses still scream were #1, while reading all the polls show this colony is only #1 in military spending and #1 with the most people in prison!!
Anyway, I got off course a bit.. But your so right about the president empowering the military police.. Oops, I mean the local police!!
Black farmers - agree, that was nice of him. But how much did they really get from that settlement? How many years did it take for them to get paid after Obama approved it? What is the current state of the black farmers today?
The rest?
If that’s all he did for the so-called black community then the bar was left on the floor.
Unless you are talking about in your lifetime, Obama is barely Top 5 for the presidents that have done the most for the so-called black community.
It’s unconscionable how much of a pass Obama gets for things people wished he did vs. what he actually did.
