        Well, of course the economy was in the toilet when he started, and improved only slowly. But there were many good things: enhanced environmental protections, ACA, more accountability in higher education, laws to protect women, LGBTQ and POC, gay marriage, 3 women on SCOTUS, etc.

        Yes, that was AFTER he began his presidency. But when he was elected, we were in the dumps. That’s why I said things weren’t good and shiny during that time.

        Congressional leadership on the Republican side met & agreed 2 oppose him every step of the way, every single day. He tried hard 2 reach across the aisle, long after it became clear his failure mattered more 2 them than the country’s needs, people’s economic woes.

        People seem to always have a lapse in memory when dirty old man Mitch said he would stop Obama every chance he would get and make him a one term president.

        Why ? He was terrible. People voted for him because of his skin color. Those people are troubled.

        Imagine what Obama could've done, if he had an economy that wasn't about to collapse, if the GOP had cooperated with bi-partisan legislation, if people weren't so afraid of the other. Such a great man, working with so many artificial limitations. Very sad...

        The good part is that he's still with us, working as a mentor through the Obama Foundation. And travelling around the country supporting Dem candidates. Such a pleasure to hear his thoughtful, well written speeches.

        And one good thing (among many) that the Framers did: Limit House of Reps' terms to 2 years (not 6, like the Senators' terms). We have had to endure the last 2 years, but at least we haven't had to wait longer to get a chance to change things in Washington.
