He was the first person I ever voted for. It’s been all downhill from there. I had some criticisms when he left office, but in hindsight, I think he was a good president and I am still proud of casting a vote for him.
I can’t say the same for the rest. I wish it had been Bernie.
Yeah I got disappointed in Obama when the Snowden revelations came out and it was shown that Obama didn’t put a stop to what the NSA and other orgs were doing. But the alternatives at the time (in 2008 and 2012) didn’t sit right with me.
I also wish we had seen a Bernie presidency in 2017.
