Are mass delusions possible? I didn’t use to think so, but every now and then I’m reminded of the fact that there are thousands of people who think Barack Obama wasn’t just a good president, but a great president, who magically fixed the economy and went two full terms without a single scandal. On Sunday, countless liberals took to Twitter, declaring #ObamaDayJune14th, that it’s #ObamaAppreciationDay and that Obama was #BestPresidentEver.
Why? Because June 14 is President Trump’s birthday! How clever! And these trending hashtags accompanied thousands of unironic tweets expressing nostalgia for the Obama years and appreciation for Obama, their lord and savior. What exactly are they nostalgic for? Beats me. Here are 14 reasons that the left’s nostalgia is ridiculous.
By my count, there were at least 30 significant Obama administration scandals. That has to be a record, doesn’t it? I mean, Nixon had Watergate, Clinton had Whitewater, Monica Lewinsky, and a slew of other alleged affairs. Donald Trump has a tan line and sometimes more ice cream than other people. But 30+ scandals under Obama eclipses those. From trying to sell his Senate seat to using government agencies to target his political enemies, to giving ransom money to a terror state, to even spying on the opponent of his heir apparent to the White House, Obama turned corruption into an art form. Perhaps this should have been expected, given his Chicago roots, but really, the magnitude of his corruption was certainly underestimated by most of us, and remains totally ignored by the left,

They say this because:
1) He was our most recent Liberal President, and
2) Their historical memory lasts about seven years tops.
And yet the gaslighting from cultural Marxists who declare ‘there were no scandals under Obama’ will never be called out, let alone stopped.
2) Their historical memory lasts about seven years tops
this...^^^^^
Most liberals think that history began the day they were born, or the day they started to pay attention to whatever liberal drivel initially triggers them.
Heres a little help for ya. A couple of more examples.
Bump
Obama is not a natural born citizen.
He is ineligible under our Constitution to be President.
He was never legitimately President.
If your idea of a “great president” includes record numbers of people dependent on food stamps, then yeah, he was a great president...
1. He’s black
RE: 1. He’s black
OK, stop being provocative. I’d vote for a Donald Trump even if he were black or green.
When will BLM and other libs get woke to these carpet bagging politicians that lie to them and enrich themselves and their families.
You can’t give this list to an Obama supporter - they’ll just reject it out of hand and call it “right-wing lies.” They have their own facts, and are not interested in others.
A right winger says, “Only 14?!”
Forget the corruption.
Query: Name three major accomplishments that survive today?
Landmark achievements:
Obamacare (survives but gutted and acknowledged disaster)
Iran Deal (unwound)
Allegedly saved the economy. (Shovel ready jobs, remember?)
That is all I do when someone touts him - What did he accomplish? Especially in light of what is happening today.
We had a Black President for 8 years. What the hell did he do to unite us? What did he do to “reform the police”? He was a slick divider and continues to be so today.
Frankly that’s a big reason why Hillary struggled. By 2016 too many of them had largely forgotten the Utopia that was her husband’s administration.

Fortunately, he’s Orange!
As many of us would.
I do know a few lilly-white leftists who voted for Zero simply because he was “black”. Made them feel better about themselves. “The first black president” “historical” is much of what I heard from them for 4 years.
Like saying Picard was better than Kirk.
Obama was THE worst president EVER.
