    Just saw Obama's former campaign manager point out on Twitter this speech happened exactly 16 years ago...can you imagine any American politician giving it now?

    The country has changed a lot since then, and not in a good way.

    • Drinking the water in Flint, sating fuck all about the Dakota pipeline protests and his wife backing out of reducing the amount of chubby kids was also shitty.PhanLo
    • When a society is that sick, it's hard to fix, might as well pump it full of morphine and bliss out the last moments.PhanLo

    • It's easy to be cynical but I don't think the leftist narrative that Obama was simply a continuation of Bush is accurate.yuekit
    • He wasn't nearly radical enough for a lot of people, but by American standards he was basically a communist :)yuekit
    • He wasn't progressive, and didn't deliver on 'change', but a big part of the job is to be able to speak. He's a great speaker and I miss that.nuggler
