I mean, she is right. I am a big fan of Obama, but disagreed with a lot of his foreign policy stuff, which seemed to be very similar to Bush's foreign policy.
Final paragraph.
Going at Obama is not going to win you the support you think imo.
On here it will, but general not leftist Democrats? Just going to look like more infighting

What a fucking legend. Nothing but the deepest respect for her courage and desire to move the country forward
War crimes.
Humanitarian violations domestically.
Bowed down to big banks.
Endlessly played by Republicans.
Constitutional violations.
But centrists love him! Don't you dare criticize. The rich did fine during the economic recovery while average people's wages stagnated, they died without healthcare, they were imprisoned, deported, or droned.

I love how their attempt to silence her just makes her more honest and outspoken. She's great.
Mainstream media, democrat party die hards, and uninformed people are going to lose their fucking minds, though.

The standard of politics will not change between now and the next election. Omar knows this. So, this is foolish and damaging. Her commentary is more of an indictment on humanity than president. Which is not productive to focus on when we are about to be tasked with choosing the less shitty option.
I like Obama but he definitely went from progressive to center right for majority of his presidency.
And republicans still hated him so I guess it wasn't worth it :(
Still worlds better than 45

I pretty much agree. Obama's presidency was EXTREMELY disappointing. It's hard to really know how much was obstructionism/obama trying to get ANYTHING done, probably making bad deals I the process.
In the end, I will always give Obama props for getting us out of the economic crash and making the first attempt at universal health care. Even if the insurance companies destroyed that initiative, we at least got rid of pre-existing conditions...*sigh*

Hot damn Omar just has no restraint on spitting out harsh facts, it's amazing.
Unfortunately this one will probably hurt but even as someone who can appreciate Obama's positives there's no lies here.

Man, she's really bad at this, lol. Just unforced error after unforced error. She's right, but there seems to be no strategy or filter at all.
Is this really the message and the positioning she wants to put forward at this time?

Trump being so terrible boosted public perception of Obama's goverment, hell it had people thinking Bush Jr wasnt so bad.
Obama droned the shit out of villages in Pakistan and Yemen killing scores of women and children. under him, the drone operators used to hit funerals of suspected terrorists with the thought being that other terrorists might be attending the funerals.
They also used to hit the same area twice because they assumed that any first responders were also terrorists which is obviously a flawed assumption.
He wasnt as bad as trump but he oversaw some really shitty policies that arguably created more terrorists than it eliminated.

I mean show me the lies. A silver lining of the Trump years is maybe US politics no longer requires polite lying about the awful stuff done by our leaders regardless which party is in power. Henry Kissinger should be in jail, but barring that he should at least not be a revered member of high society.
Not on humanity, on our current political status quo and its terrible policies that she's trying to change.
She aint wrong. There are too many people too nice and to blind to Obama when this is serious shit that has a lot to do with what we're going through right now. Presidents by default should not get passes IMO, just due to how many lives they affect.
I like her brutal honesty, she's right.
However I wonder if this will create more fights inside the party, which it truly doesn't need. A reality check doesn't hurt though, at the same time.

Because corruption and hypocrisy only crops up when you become a politician.
