I don't think the internment was no big deal but I do think that more than Obama he was pushed to radical solutions for the time (he straight up told folks that if they didn't do the New Deal they'd be facing pitchforks)
But yes the ranking you screenshotted is highly debatable. Obama to me disappointed because he didn't push his own caucus hard enough and was fundamentally a Chicago machine product, but so was FDR.
Is this a US without Lincoln?
Lincoln championed the Habeas Corpus Suspension Act and government censorship. He sent the US army against civilians protesting the draft in New York. Every president has done bad things.
FDR did many great things. He also did many terrible things. Same could be said of pretty every president. I do not think Obama was the best. He is definitely in the top 10 or so though and the best (and only decent) one in my lifetime.
I don’t think we grapple enough with the reality that a lot of the terrible things each president does are systemic, automatic parts of being an empire, and it’s only so useful to blame each president in turn for not mitigating them enough.
it's really weird to see people trying to put a positive spin on 'even generally nice and well-regarded presidents were complicit in violence and cruelty on a global scale', as though any of it defends obama rather than just establishing that the US as an entity is basically evil
like the way you choose to rank them is pretty much immaterial when in any just world each and every one them would be paying a visit to the hague
