And when held up against the current corrupt, chaotic, race-baiting, know-nothing administration, Obama's is going to look positively stellar by comparison.
corruption free admin BA HA HA HA ROFLMAO

Osama bin Laden, he said do it. Wow! And Dr Shakil Afridi who verified bin Laden's location (helped Obama) still rots in jail.

Well it hasn't stood the test of Trumps first year in office since Obama didn't follow proper procedure and acted like a dictator. They needed Hillary to win. No wonder they screwed Sanders and freaked when Trump beat Hillary.

Is he really the first black man though? He was raised by whites, went to white schools, speak the white dialogue, so, while he may be black in skin color, his upbringing and character is all whitewashed. Eminem is more black than Obama could ever be. Obama's black side didn't even come from slavery. He will never know the suffering, pain and the strength a real African American had to endure, and that courage and strength was passed down from generation to generation. Don't ever be mistaken, Obama may be black, but he will never be on the level and status of Martin Luther King Jr, who was a real African American, raised by real AA parents, schools and communities, fighting for the rights of not only his people, but everyone who had to struggle because of the elite whites who control this world. Obama ,sadly, is just another engineered puppet for those elite whites. I had faith in him at one time, I voted for him in the 2008 elections, thinking he would be the one to raise this country. All he did was divide it, which is exactly what elite white people do to keep us regular folks distracted and down in the gutter.

I think Obama was essentially a good man and he meant to do well for the United States, based on what he thought was correct. It's just that he had a flawed worldview which led him into racial identity politics and promoting blind globalism which is harmful for Americans.

But I can't call Obama corrupt in the same way Hillary Clinton is corrupt. She took it to a whole other level.

More of the so-called "Obama Legacy" has been dismantled, in less than a year and a half of the Trump administration, than has happened in the history of U.S. Presidential successions. It was easy to do, since Obama did most of it through executive fiat and rickety court decisions, rather than the Constitutionally-mandated passage by Congress. Easy come, easy go.
To be honest, when was the last time we had a President leaving us with a great legacy?

Reagan was instrumental in dismantling the Soviet Union and Communist bloc.

That's a pretty darn good legacy which will stand out for generations.

I'm curious to know, from those who think it's super important to undo anything and everything Obama did, what prevents each and everything Trump's doing now from being erased by the next president or over time by different administrations? This is what happens when you set bad precedent- it can eventually be used against you. I'm surprised the deep thinkers on Trump's side haven't realized that.

Trump and his supporters are pathologically obsessed with "erasing the black man" because how dare Obama be elected in the first place. Trump ran on Obama hatred as he primal screamed his way on to every camera calling Obama a Muslim Kenyan. Trump supporters have a tendency to be older and they could not believe a black man was elected as president of the United States. That's when the claims that whites were being oppressed took hold.

Trump supporters, being older, don't care about things like what Trump is doing to the environment, rolling back every environmental protection, increasing car pollution, drilling on previously protected lands and oceans and hiding reports showing our water is becoming poisonously filled with chemicals, just to start. They figure they won't be around for the result, so who cares.

Trump supporters, being older, don't care if Trump's backdoor moves against health care result in increased health coverage costs for millions and letting Republicans take coverage away from millions more through moves within states. They are on Medicare, having only paid a third of the costs for the benefits they receive. Sure, we supplement their coverage with our own tax dollars, but they'll hate us while taking our money because we dared to elect a black man.

Have we ever seen a party so obsessed with "erasing a previous president's legacy"? Ever? No. Bush left office extremely unpopular, yet no one said that. But because a black man was elected, Trump and his supporters have been as hatefully obsessed with Obama's legacy as Orly Taitz was with Obama's birth certificate.

History will reflect that Republican racial hatred is what elected Trump as their final act of defiance before Trump's generation passed. No, not every senior is an angry Republican Trump supporter, but that is the majority of his base.

Pretty much. And they have to keep telling themselves that the last 8 years were somehow terrible. If only we could go back to a time when the biggest scandal was a president trying to get more people to have health insurance with a flawed plan. The horror!!!
