I expect you Freepers to give Brownie some basic credit ...

I miss him already. Say what you like, President Barack Hussein Obama is supremely intelligent, witty, humane, reasonable, elegant, a great writer, a model father, a good husband, a decent human being. He has empathy and humor. He is sane and calm. He gave us eight years free of scandal and drama: no interns, no corruption, no jobs handed out to outrageously unqualified people (a hallmark of the George W. Bush years—remember "Heckuva job, Brownie"?). Although it's unfashionable these days to care about dignity and decorum—we're all vulgarians now, living inside a perpetual reality-TV show - Obama brought seriousness and purpose to an office that had been a kingdom of dimwittery and darkness for eight years. He acted as if knowing what you’re talking about actually mattered. And he did all this as a black man in white America, which went crazy whenever it remembered he was black - for example, when he spoke up mildly in support of a world-famous Harvard professor who was challenged for being in his own home by a local cop. Obama persisted, with grace, in the teeth of a Senate that treated him as so illegitimate that it even refused to hold hearings for his last Supreme Court nominee. To tell you the truth, I don't know how he could stand it.
Now that President Obama is preparing to step down, I’m wondering why we on the left - myself included - found it so easy to attack him for his failures and mistakes and so hard to give the man some basic credit.

I just...
Stopped reading right there.
a pay wall??
Well, supremely intelligent...
why the hell do people make claims like this?
Right there is enough reason to not pay to view.
2016 OBAMAS READY TO CASH-IN-—Pres O gave Mrs O $100 million tax dollars from the State Dept’s Millennium Challenge Corporation (chaired by Hillary) on Michele’s visit to Morocco for the purpose of “teaching Muslim girls”...... to be administered by the post-presidency tax-exempt Obama Foundation.
That was what happen when liberals are on drugs.
Actually no I don’t miss Bush...ohhh you were actually saying this about OBAMA with a straight face?
i’ve also desperately missed Ronald Reagan for almost 30 years now...
Give me a break.
“I miss our sane, calm, empathetic, funny President...”
.
So do I...for going on 27 years now.
Worst President Ever!!!!!!!!!!
Presidency as Rorschach test. Clearly there are people who see things I’m not seeing.
You miss him, or did you ‘miss him’?
Try again!
There are a lot of definitive statements in that first paragraph. All of them are “stipulated” without any proof.
I am not sure I agree with them.
Therefore, this guy is an idiot.
Eight years on my dime and he still doesn’t know how to hold a wine glass properly.

I give him credit for being a low quality, city council level con man. He's been elevated by whitey and is so lacking in self awareness that he thinks he has personal worth. Warren G Harding scoffs at this execrable twerp.
It’s the vanden Heuval hovel. What do you expect?
