I’m not particularly old or nostalgic, but these past 2 weeks have certainly helped me appreciate the Obama years a lot more.

It was kind of nice to have a president who could actually finish a complete sentence while speaking. I miss those times.

  Remember the ruckus because he wore a tan suit? Those were the days. > U.S. Representative Peter King, a member of the Republican Party, deemed the suit's color combined with the subject matter of terrorism to be "unpresidential". He went on: "There's no way, I don't think, any of us can excuse what the president did yesterday. I mean, you have the world watching.” https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barack_Obama_tan_suit_controversy https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barack_Obama_tan_suit_controve...

    Yeah, or when he wanted spicy mustard on a hot dog (correction, burger). https://youtu.be/cAvq12Sa3VE https://youtu.be/cAvq12Sa3VE I found that one especially funny, because dijon mustard isn't more expensive than regular mustard! I buy dijon mustard all the time, and at least at my local grocery store the price is always within about 5% of regular yellow mustard, sometimes even less. It's not something that is out of reach of most Americans.

      We only remember these as Obama lacked the Trump reality distortion field. [Reporter] President Trump wore a tan suit. [Trump] Let's retake the Panama Canal. [Reporter] President Trump ordered a fancy mustard. [Trump] We're going to invade Greenland. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dead_cat_strategy https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dead_cat_strategy

    Thanks for the laugh. I don't remember when this happened. The horror... :)

On the other hand, Barrack Obama normalized death from the skies over the middle east and helped destabilize the entire region. He was also an awful president, in other ways.
