    I find it a little frustrating that people look back at a presidency during a time of crisis and talk about all the things that didn’t happen. America had very real problems when Obama came into office. This country was on the verge of collapse from an economic perspective. Banks didn’t have money to lend. Trump is a troll and American has a race problem that it will never overcome. I disagree with Don Calloway’s whole perspective on this.

    The Republicans that voted for Trump, the people that said never Hillary and didn't vote and people voting third party gave us Trump. We got the Trump because of us not taking the warning of what's to come seriously. We the American people took our foot for off the gas. Some people forget that democracy is a never ending fight. It's not something given to us. The blame will fall on the American voters again if he's reelected.

    I disagree with your guest. And it’s never lost on me that when I hear these critiques of our former president that often times it’s coming from a gentleman who is Black. Which begs the question did they expect perfection or were they jealous/envious of his ability to draw in women namely Black women or the amount of women who believed in his vision for this country? While I listened to his soliloquy on the things that the former president could’ve done, I’m thinking in my mind what, sir what have you done to further the liberation and freedom of the community? And I’m sure he would be able to spout out for me all the work that he is doing all the work that he is trying to do and I can guarantee you there will be someone who would tell “him” he has not done enough Or that he should have done more. My point being our former president in my opinion, did more for me and my family than I can recall for any of the presidents before him. And these are all in terms of healthcare entrepreneurship education Black farming. Did his administration solve every problem we’ve ever had? Absolutely not, however, if given the opportunity to vote him in all over again, I would, without hesitation. Lastly, as I am sure that your guest is a good person, a hard-working person, I would speak the same of him as well.

Obama had a republican senate for 6 out 8 years and had the house only 4. His hands was literally tied behind his back.

    Obama was a symbol. And that symbol scared some people. In truth, he was a moderate and was taking baby steps that many of us thought of as half-stepping. In private, according to a couple of Capitol Hill insiders, Obama would have conversations off the record where he told black leaders "you've got to push me publicly to get things done. I must be seen as a neutral arbiter." I don't know how accurate that is, but it makes sense to me. We must always push and not give away our collective power.

    The fact that people think voting isn't personal is bizarre. It's personal, and it lends to a coalition of a collective. That's the base of the democratic party. Galloway is on point. Miving on, look at the 2010 midterms, Galloway's critique of Obama is evident in the numbers of 2010. Conversely, Occupy Wall Street took hold that time which had everything to do with bailing out Wall Street and not homeowners. Blk people lost 30% of our wealth. All that isn't on Obama, but he was the president.

    Glad I cut ties with the political parties. Obama was an exceptional man that was a president of a non exceptional country that he too often praise. He was too laid back for me.😑 George Bush, on the other hand was governor of Texas, so what was his excuse for his failure and other presidents that came before him. Blame Donald Trump's election on the ignorant people who didn't do their homework while listening to maintain stream media that catapulted him into the presidency. After all this county has been through, there are people who still want him for president. Is it Obama or the stench that has loom over America since its inception that would elect this man twice?

    SUPER-HARD Disagree with your guest.
    I get not being completely satisfied with Obama's presidency because the promise of what he was supposed to represent was ultimately not fulfilled (nor could it ever be in any realistic scenario, and I think that's where the problem with Obama lies with folks like Calloway).
    But to then claim that his presidency hurt us (WHAT?) with regards to that and also that that disappointment ultimately outweighs the benefit of having him there at all, even at a symbolic level, is just beyond delusional and nuts.
    In my opinion.
    We may never get another black president in our lifetimes, sorry to put it so bluntly.
    But that's the America we live in now.
    And look at what it took for us to get the one that we actually got - a historic Recession on a level comparable only with the Great Depression and people losing their living, their homes and the literal shirts off their backs.
    It's not only short-sighted but ultimately selfish and even childish to take the position that just because Obama's presidency didn't give us what we (each personally) wanted and he didn't walk on water while juggling with one hand tied behind his back (a standard the white people were literally holding him to, and not to any of his white predecessors before him nor any of his white successors), that it was therefore some kind of a failure of a presidency.
    That's ridiculous! And Calloway needs to get his head out of his 'you-know-where'.
    The man carried out his presidency with grace,....amidst all the obstructionism and racism and disrespect,....with honor and dignity, .......all while fixing a broken country with the limited tools he had at his disposal.
    It heartens me to know that in poll after poll, among all all ex-presidencies, Obama remains the consensus most-popular among the living ex-presidents and third most popular after only Kennedy and Lincoln - and them two literally had to get assassinated to be top of the heap.

It truly shows me that majority of this country would always vote against their best interests. And we should never white voters seriously.
