    Default Barack Obama Speech

    What an incredible speech today by Barack Obama in Pennsylvania. A President with humility, integrity and class. It has been too long.

    Very moving. It gives me hope that America might just heal itself and become the great nation it was before this failed experiment with a reality tv show host.

    Pretty much the only President I had much respect for in my life time. I'm not sure he was all that effective as a President, and both parties in the US are kind of garbage for different reasons, but I always respected who he was. I'm not sure if that will happen again in my life time.

    I tend to stay away from these threads and the inevitable drama that follows them but I have to say, I am always so impressed with the way he's able to give speeches. He has so much charisma. Incredibly captivating when he speaks and he does it so well.

    Bill Clinton is incredibly charismatic as well.

    These "hacks" were from Iran, btw, for anyone who hadn't heard.
    Just to add more context to this important news from DHS.
    Left media had previously pushed this fake news about a right-leaning group (Proud Boys) sending out death threats to democrats.
    And it was all bullcrap. Proud Boys had nothing to do with it.

    Dear Wonko: Using a Barack Obama headline specifically to get in more digs at President Trump? Seriously? Has that other thread even been closed for a week ? LOL!!!
    I guess it's like whack-a-mole for the mods.

    I have respected every president except Trump. Trump does not deserve respect and history will treat him very harshly. Over the years, some athletes did not go to the White House after winning a championship for political reasons and I always disagreed with that. I agreed with the idea that you respect the office. Obviously, Trump has changed that. The US has never had such a blatant racist, undignified, slob of a man as president before.

    President Trump is not a racist.
    He is a bit undignified sometimes.
    He is a bit of a slob sometimes.

    People forget the most important thing about him - he's not a politician.
    That's why you see him acting undignified and slobby sometimes - because he doesn't care about appearances the way a Politician would/should.

    Wow I mean we all know Trump has no clue what he's doing, just didn't expect the Trumpets to come around like that. At least were all on the same page now and agree he needs to go.

    Trump is in a class all on his own for sure.

    I understand that Americans see their leaders as people to look up to, but in general that couldn't be further from the truth. Obama is about the only one that I could look at and say that he was a pretty good model of what a President should be like. Just my opinion. Joe Biden is just more of the same in my book. Don't get me wrong - MASSIVELY better than what Republicans have on offer right now, but still pretty much garbage.

    Calling Biden garbage is a little harsh. I don't expect him to be great but below average is a massive improvement to what the US has now.

    This forum is called 'get political'. If we can't talk about the Presidential election then the mods should just take down this forum. Most of us are grown ups here and we can handle a few strong words and some tough truths.

    No-one has been forced to participate.

    Go to an actual political forum then.
    This thread will end up being just another crack house like all the others.
    You feed off each other's addiction! Enabling each other!
    It's like that 600 pound life tv show, except your problem is TDS instead of food. Get some help, for God's sake.

    Or go do some actual volunteer work to make the world better.

    Whatever fake justification you want to create for yourself, bottom line - it's very disrespectful of you to create this thread within days of the mods shutting down the other one.

    Predictable & hilarious, though, that you just couldn't help yourself.
