      @@davidr4htc It was nice to have weeks or even months in which the president didn't feel the need to force himself into the news and generally treated other humans with respect rather than calling them childish names on twitter.
      It was also nice that the growth of economy in the last years of Obama's terms was higher than in the first three years of Trump's as well, but I generally believe that has less to do with the President than most people, assuming that it isn't caused by mishandling a major crisis.

      I know we Americans often use the question “how are you” more as a greeting and most often we answer that greeting with “Im good! How are you?” We Americans do care how you are but often acquaintances don’t want to take the time to really answer if it is not a close friend. On another note, Obama is all class, and makes me proud to be an American.

    • @quackslikeaduck
      @quackslikeaduck 3 ปีที่แล้ว +16

      Mary Ellen Acosta - you're so right; I didn't stop to think of it in that way. "Hi-how-ya-doin'" is definitely a pretty standard form of greeting, haha! As you said, though, it's not that, as a group, we don't care about the answer. In my experience, once the greetings are over (if we know the person and have time to talk a little) and we get past the superficial level of conversation, we almost always circle back to finding out how each other is REALLY doing (because the initial answer is quite often, as you also noted, "I'm good, how are you?"" or "Great!" How about you?") Thanks for making me stop and think for a change :))

      I am also not american and therefor i chose to support your message, Philip. Trade is worldwide. If Americans want a decent living standard they will have to accept it`s a world in which we earn a buck. A country has the right to enforce and keep laws for itself. It`s too late for thinking you are never going to need material or knowledge from elsewhere to have, make and sell your products. A simple thing you`ld think like a mask and ventilator will remind them of it i hope. So....a Nation`s leader, especially of a country as big as the US needs a president that is viewed as one the world can deal with. I mean respect. Obama had it. In fact he still does. November is coming! Do the right thing. I am sure the world will say...it`s ok US. We`ll forget about it...let`s move on make the world great again by letting each other be different and celebrate it. I tried to be non Dutch here and not too blunt. Probably overdid it anyway. Blunt is culture here haha.

Bush of course killed a lot more people but that is beside the point. The point is that the war stages Obama was part of was not of his design, he did not institute some global crusade, he inherited that. Was he some kind of saint? Gosh no but in comparison he might as well have been :p
      The thing that amuses me the most about this is that you have people on the right saying he didn't act forcefully enough, that he did nothing etc. Then you have the same group saying he acted too forcefully killed too many people, did too much. Damned if you do, damned if you don't.
      Heck, at least he tried harder at diplomacy than any president in recent times.
      Needless to say I respect the man and it's great to have the feeling that the president of the US could outsmart you a million times on a bad day rather than the reverse.

Are you really that stupid and so low IQ to believe the media narrative and can’t rationally conclude Trump is educated?

      I think he passes as a good role model. But still, America has many problems. I hope that universal health-care, affordable education, a working pension system will be a reality for all Americans one day if people get engaged in the political process on all levels. News seem to be not about political participation, rather advertisement and obscuring.
      Even Obama won an advertisement (!) award for his 2008 campaign.
      Well it shouldn't be about advertisment, but an educated citizenship.
      It seems that, in the US, politics is made by the few for the few, while most Americans have zero real influence on how they are goverened. 2 options (presidential candidates) that are chosen beforehand by the amount of donations are not enough.
      According to what I have learned so far, the US should return to FDR politics (low cost education etc).
      And please finance all politicans by state expenses. Otherwise it is no wonder, that members of the Senate etc will just make real what their very wealthy donors want, not what the general citizenship wants.
      America needs a strong, educated, plotically engaged citizenship that realize what their interests are and push for them. Only then will the US see another golden age. I hope it will become real.

      Some people are very blinded by their political affiliation, which unfortunately is the most common reason why Obama is disliked by many conservatives. But I think that amongst all these comments praising Obama (which I agree with, he's an outspoken model president) it's important to say that he was not perfect in his politics. Is that to say that he did nothing good for our country? No. But he definitely made some decisions that have been very harmful (e.g his policies surrounding drone bombing in the middle east). No one is perfect, and we should look at all our politicians with skeptical eyes.

      Even though I'm from Germany I can't take any Republican seriously who has not at least doubts about the current bad state of his party. To be honest I'm disgusted by Trump's base that doesn't care about anything but themselves. The entire world is witnessing his b.s. (even themselves because no one is so stupid not to see it). The divisiveness, fraud, notorious lies etc and it's backlash but they don't care. It's even worse! His Christian supporters, the worst of the worst, have donated for the kid who killed two protesters 200 000 $ so far. Yes, bail him out since if he's not privileged enough by the colour of his skin! This young devoted man might be the favourite son that Trump never had ;)

      walküre's tiddn I live in Peru and I’m also disgusted by Trump. No country deserved a president like him. You have to have a pretty low self-esteem as a country to feel represented by a man like him. Trump is looked down upon in every country on earth (except in half of the US) and I truly hope he loses this election because he is an awful example of leadership and I’m actually scared to have more latin-american copycats in the region (like Bolsonaro)

      George Washington thought he was going to die if he held a third term and knew that since he was the first President and was loved by the people in this completely new gov't there would be a high chance of people seeing it as a life-long role leading to the elimination of elections all together, so he stepped down (also he didn't like being President).

      @@pyrolinn2088 Bush was mainly in his first term, since Bush left him with quite a hole to dig out of with the economy, jobs, and the troops in Iraq. As for the rest, I can be wrong, but I don't recall him ever saying he took no responsibility for those acts if he in fact made those decisions. I also find it a tad silly to say he let ISIS overrun the middle east considering the middle east isn't America so that sounds more like the Middle East's governments issue with rebels, not ours. o.O

      Every thing is easier when ever one likes you and the media loves you.
      When everyone and the media is against you it takes a hero to win and still love the nation and protect it. Even if the nation hates you and there is nothing in it for you.

    I'm not an American, but looking from the outside it seems like Obama was the best American president of the 21st century so far.
