I'm pretty sure Obama could've said he bought a new hat and he'd get close to half that many likes.

The world thinks highly of Obama, and the complete inverse of Trump and his supporters. You can say whatever you want in an attempt to undermine why millions of Americans still have a great deal more respect for him than Trump could ever possibly hope to have. Its clear that it isn't just Trump who feels a great deal of self-loathing. Tell us, what is it about Obama that makes you feel so inadequate?

I dunno man I just feel so...inadequate. Just you know....i don't know. Inadequate.

Anyway, my point was that it has little to do with what was said and much to do with who said it. In other words, yet more partisanship and team-worship. What would the reaction have been if Trump had said the exact same thing?

I don't dispute that Obama is held in higher regard in general than Trump.

Hell, a flat worm should be held in higher regard than Trump.

I don't get your point. Of course a former President who makes a statement that contradicts the current President's stance is going to draw more attention than the rest of us. He simply has more viewers than most. Why though did this become the most retweeted statement in history.

Only a fool or liar would chalk that up to randomness. It resonated, plain and simple.

Given that Obama presided over such catastrophic Democratic losses at every level of government, I imagine most find him to be perfectly adequate

You and Atreus might want to spend some time together reading about correlation versus causation. Obama's approval rating was at its highest towards the end of his terms. No doubt if Obama could run for a third term, he would have won it.

Trump isn't a lot of things, but he was a phenomenon. A lot of Republican's gained off of it. Well you own government now, and title as having probably voted for and elected two of the dumbest and ultimately worst President's in history. Congratulations I guess. Why don't you list some of the great things your Republican Congress and Senators have done for you lately. I'm sure that will be incredibly easy considering Congress's approval rating.

Its like the child who happily shows his wall art to his parents. Made from his own shit.

No doubt. Too bad about the vast majority of Democrats in the country, huh?

And your assessment of every GOP President would be identical, so you'll excuse me if I don't lose sleep over it.

Well if Republicans stopped apologizing for their ideologies and doing everything else the leftists who hate them insist they should, they might be able to get things done.

Huh? He is held in higher regard because he is a better person. The only way Trump would speak as heartfelt and eloquently as Obama (always) is if it were scripted but then he'd undo it within hours because he is a classless, hateful, piece of filth. It's a weird statement that Obama received those likes because of who he is... The words themselves were beautiful but who he is IS a far better person than Trump. Trump would consider a dream of being a good and decent human being a terrifying nightmare.

...in other words the words matter less than the speaker. Which is and has been my point.

Edit: I hate leftovers in the reply box. Delete has not effect.

Let me know when Trump ever quotes someone like Ghandi, Marin Luther King, or the like. This is all lost on you. It's like throwing pearls before swine.
