Glad I was alive to witness Barack Obama’s presidency
yeah, but what exactly did we witness?
i don’t know whether to be happy that a black man could be president or sad cause it didn’t change shit.
^^^^
proves that the system ain’t shit and never will be shit. still pretty happy though, if only to have seen the world fall in love with michelle.
You must’ve been sleep the whole time of his presidency because President Obama changed this country for the better and I shudder to think what my life would be like had he not have two terms.
Just a few things I’ve personally gained from his presidency:
*staying on my parents insurance till I was 26
*the federal government paying half my premium when I turned 27
*My IUD being completely free so I don’t have to worry about getting pregnant for the next 3 years.
*Being able to attend my gay best friend’s wedding and it actually being legal.
He may not have achieved everything he wanted too but I will forever be grateful for the change my Black President brought to this country.
really sick of children who are obviously too fucking young to have clear memories of the Bush Administration acting like Democrats and Republicans are no different
I get it, you’ve spent 8 years of your very young life with a Democratic president. You’re probably not old enough to have vivid memories of Katrina, the beginning of the Iraq War, and 9/11 (all things that would have been a lot less likely to happen under a Dem president – yes, even 9/11. Bush Administration ignored intelligence warnings and also immediately dismantled the Clinton Anti-Terror apparatus – 9/11 was completely preventable), but please stop saying that stupid shit if you don’t have a life memory.
oh btw Obama also SIGNIFICANTLY expanded Pell Grants and introduced really nice education tax credits that made it possible for me to get an education.
