I have no idea how or why the American people elected him President not once, but TWICE.
And Obama would have been elected three times, if he had been allowed to run. Obama was the first President since Eisenhower to get 51+% of the popular vote twice. trump was unable to win the popular vote twice. Democrats have only lost the popular vote once in the last 31 years. While every Democratic President who could have run for a third term would have won a third term, the last Republican that could have won a third term, Reagan, 35 years ago, could not have run for health reasons.
Obama was wildly popular among the majority of Americans in a way trump never will be. trump has his minority of voters, but is considered an insult to America beyond that.
All this while being a mix of Black and white. The fact remains that "mixing" with Blacks is not political poison like the Republicans would have you believe.
Then again, Obama was a Democrat. The people who would have voted against him for being Black, were going to vote against him anyway for being a Democrat.
The multiple scandals that burst onto the scence durig this period are collectively referred to as "Obamagate."
Among non-conspiracy theorists, he was known as "No Drama" Obama. He had record low numbers of people indicted and convicted. Outside of conspiracy theories, there were few to no scandals. trump later referred to this as "boring".
As for the past two years or so, there has NEVER been an American government in the history of the republic, that has INTENTIONALLY inflicted the kind of shocking damage that the Biden Junta has on the United States and the majority of its American people. IMO, Obama's fingerprints are all over it.
We are back to boring competency, as we rebuild our economy, and build up our infrastructure. There is more talk about planning rights for major projects than ever before. It is the boring stuff that builds nations. It is a major relief from the on and off destruction of the trump years.
