And the previous president didn't do that in spades for the American people?  yet all you had on this board was a bunch of whiny crybabies, none of which were helping their cause I suppose, using your logic.

I'm fine with every American citizen over 18 getting a 2000.00 check.

The only time I can recall Obama, and I was not a fan btw at the time, committing a Trump-level divisive act/speech was the "guns and religion" bit.  But it was at least factual and not predicated on lies.  Once, in eight years.  I also used to fault him for not using his bully pulpit to heal racial divisions or attempt to.  But, as a black man, I realized he knew something I didn't: that there are a shitpile of Americans who don't want to heal racial divisions unless that healing means silencing the browns in perpetuity.

A comparison of the divisiveness of Trump and Obama is invidious and ridiculous at every level.  The press was hard as fuck on Trump because he deserved it.  He kept giving them material.  Every goddamn day.

the negativity came from the media, every single day on every channel, at every press briefing.  Obama divided the country in a way I have never seen and was never held accountable by the press.

Biden won't be held accountable by the press either.  If you can't see the difference in the press with Obama/Biden and Trump(or any republican since Reagan) I don't know what to tell you.  Its beyond the pale but they can say and report what they want.  People like Schiff, Pelosi and Schumer lie and are negative like there is no tomorrow.

where were the democrats trying to find common ground the previous 4? I'll tell you where they were, they were finding common ground in hating Trump. the whole Russia collusion farce was just the start.   and thats fine by the way, thats the way democrats/media want to play(they did it to Reagan, they did it to Bush I and II) but don't try to rewrite history.

God damn dude I’m not sure which is worse, your baseball or your politic takes

you are willfully ignoring what has been going on.   every republican president per press/media is stupid dumb  warmonger racist(hates the browns), every democrat is fucking Einstein and is soooo empathetic(see latest AP headline on Biden).  Its SOP for the media.  Ted Cruz is evil personified but Mario Cuomo is ignored by CNN/MSNBC/etc.  Even when Trump or Bush did something for "browns"(using your term) it was largely if not completely ignored.  The press was hard as fuck on Bush II and Reagan.  did they deserve it?  The softballing of Clinton(to a lesser degree for sure) and Obama was obvious. it's actually in overdrive with Biden. 

Obama really wanted reparations but he's gonna blame white people for the reason he didn't pursue it.  that's just some insight into his philosophy.  you don't think that type of idea drove his actions while as president?  the guy was divisive.

I too hope for a day when we stop talking about the color of one's skin or sexual orientation and start talking about the content of their character.

Okay we’re getting somewhere. I am glad you are alright with that. Again though if you want to defend the last president that is not the purpose of this and you know that. There are plenty of people here willing to do that. My desire to engage in that would be less than my desire to take a vacation to Kansas or see the NBA team in Boston win another title.

What else would you like to see brought to the floor of the House and Senate that you believe would be in the best interests of the majority of this country right now? You do not have to write out some detailed policy-like report. I won’t denigrate you for your response even if my stance is the opposite of yours.

Well yes I would expect a man who has been dead for more than six years to not be in the news on a regular basis.

Lol.  They should take Mario's name off the Tappan Zee bridge though. 

Andrew Cuomo is all over the news too, so I dont know what he is bitching about.  The real difference is that Dem pols typically face repercussions, and Cuomo will absolutely face them. His support base is falling apart as we speak.  Rep pols don't face repercussions and Cruz will never pay any price for supporting an insurrection.

Which makes onboards take that much more retarded. Christ I hate living in the same country as onboard and GRhorn and Johnny Sack and tTom. Eh fuck it 

You're free to get the fuck out any day sparky. I hear Canada is really nice.  On another note you might wanna see a specialist about your anger issues, ooh... you'll get free health care in Canada...One more reason to GTFO.

hilarious.  check the main webpage for cnn, abc, msnbc, cbs, nbc.  not one link to an Andrew Cuomo story.  Racist Virginia governor never faced repercussions is just one example.  dem pols get a pass.  Cuomo isn't going anywhere because the media doesn't care.

Can you give 3 examples of Obama actions that divided the country in unprecedented ways?
I was curious about this myself so I did some digging. Here's the BS he's ranting about:

https://www.usapoliticstoday.org/20-reasons-barack-obama/

"2. “If I had a son, he’d look like Trayvon”
In another example of unnecessarily inserting himself into a sensitive racial issue, Obama proclaimed after the shooting of Trayvon Martin, “If I had a son, he’d look like Trayvon.”"

There are obama threads. There is a joe biden thread. There are trump threads. There are conservative news media threads. None of those threads are this thread, which is about Syria and military action taken by the US this week. 

That's the topic. Go find another thread to argue about "BUT OBAMA" in. 

Continental Op is taking a vacation for his insane comments

You opened a bottle of the old stuff. Not so much the good stuff, but that stanky old stuff. Smells of whining and dogma.

I never developed a taste for it.

@dcar00 has a point. Obama said that Trayvon Martin could've been his son. Trump spent 4 years calling millions of Americans "traitors" and "enemies of the State."

I can definitely see why the former would bother someone more than the latter. Well, a particular type of person anyway.
