    This is a crucial point in the various Obama legacy debates going on. Obama 2019 is not himself at the same place as Obama 2008.https://twitter.com/rortybomb/status/1174723184349855744 …

    (2) Something happened ideologically because Obama ~2016 doesn't sound like Obama in 2009. A new interest in inequality (starting SOTU 2014), more emphasis on Medicare expansion (post-ACA), no Grand Bargain stuff (a crazy unforced 2011 error). Lots of reasons, but it's a change.

        Obama 2019 can't accomplish anything. Too little, too late.

        The dude was handed an impending catastrophe. It's actually boring to read arguments that he didn't do the bests he could with good intentions, b/c he is a good man. Yes, he f'd up. Just like he said he would. Welcome to reality.

        He’s not very different. He’s essentially a UK LibDem and always has been.

        Does anyone sound the same today vs 2008? The world has been turned on its head, why would Obama sound the same then vs now? Besides, Obama has no power to do anything in 2019, so isn't this all a rather moot point about his "legacy"?

        Based on everything I have read of the Nov 2008-2011 era, the biggest Obama mistake by far was letting Rahm Emanuel get anywhere near the WHouse, much less serve as Chief of Staff. He was a human wrecking ball, bullying everyone, convinced that big changes should not happen.

        Nor was Clinton in 16. Didn't stop anyone anywhere from gang tackling a mainstream D.

        When he took office it felt like the world was imploding. Kind of like today but different. 🤨
