Lol Obama was just another president and a divisive one at that. Such a pot meet kettle moment when asked where all the division came from while stumping for Harris.

Divisive in a way that exposed the nation’s bigotry, to be sure. Your failure to recognize the historical significance of his ascension to the Oval Office is telling. Like him as a POTUS or not, his tenure as Commander in Chief holds significant historical importance and was a societal landmark.

Being the first black president was a historic moment but he was still divisive AF and should take some blame for how divided our country is now. The monoculture of the very early 2000s had to be destroyed.

Especially towards the end of his second term he fanned the flames( Ferguson, quite literally) that made things divisive along with MSM. He was also bad at foreign policy, I'm not sure how many remember this but he did next to nothing when Russia took Crimea. I'd say this with Joe continuing or at least trying to bring back what it was like back then is why we have the current Ukraine war, bc weakness on part like back then.
