Obama top 10?

They blew their cred there.

Obama is in the 30s somewhere.

I'd rank Obama as mid 30s.

Hmmmmm, they may be using the same standard of that Obama was so great for there were so few indictments under his administration and so many under Trumps.....ignoring the possibility that with one, so many things were overlooked.

Liberals have taken over the media and schools. What do you expect? Trump didn't own slaves, killed or stole land from Indians, or created the Great Depression or started invading countries on b.s. pretenses. He didn't put a group of Americans in labor camps based on their race with ZERO due process. Trump didn't invade Americans homes and destroyed their homes and crops. Trump didn't suspended writ of habeas corpus and put reporters and civilians in jail with NO due process only for their free speech. Trump didn't invent or implemented Jim Crow. Trump didn't drop 2 A bombs in 2 cities full of civilians. Trump didn't lie or get us into the Vietnam war that over 50k Americans died and millions of Vietnamese. Trump didn't view slavery as a constitutional right (16 Presidents did)

Hell! The grandfather of mass black incarceration in the U.S. is sitting in the W.H. Corn Pops in Chief. What was Trump deepest sin? he wrote mean tweets.

This is why the majority of Americans don't take these people serious and they have rotten our institutions.

These are also the same historians who rate Jimmy Carter near the top in presidential rankings.

Obama can' be top 10. He expanded the wars to 7 and lied to the country and the biggest illegal spying scandal in human history was exposed in his administration and instead of him firing the top leaders in the agencies that lied under oath in Congress or file charges to set an example, he didn't. He defended them like they were his wife and daughters.


Add his drone strike killer list (scary) He can't be top 10 or top 20.

I agree with this. As long as the baby boomers are still a driving force in our society and politics, it's too soon to judge the Trump years from a historical perspective. It's too soon to judge Obama for that matter. In 2040 or 50 we'll have a better idea.

Obama rescued the economy from the Republican created Great Recession. That alone would put him in the top 10.

I'd think the president who incited an insurrection against his own country should automatically put him at the very bottom. If anything, the historians are being kind to Trump.

Suddenly the right-wing is against wars and spying.

In 2050 nobody would remember Obama or Trump. Nobody alive in 2050 will say "My taxes are too high, My healthcare and job sucks and my son is fighting is some dessert mountain in Afghanistan or Iran. Damn Obama and Trump."

Who cares, just as long as you people continually bring up Trump in ALL your conversations.
