I’m glad to see I’m not the only who saw 2008 as the pinnacle year for Democrats and should serve as the blueprint for the present party to copy. Obama was very charismatic and a political operator. He ran on reforming healthcare which worked, even if it’s not socialised healthcare and despite the worst obstructionist Republican Congress in history. The only criticism I would have of Obama was his drone strikes. At this day and age, any sort of American interventionist involvement at any capacity would not fly (no pun intended).
