    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
