Obama's Report Card - A Breakdown Of His Presidency
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 12 сен 2024
- Laying out all of the good and bad in President Obama's time in office. Very detailed breakdown.
CORRECTION: forgot a big one for the 'bad' column: Obama's war on whistleblowers - obviously this would get a little better if he pardons Chelsea Manning in the next few days (there are reports he might), but the situation with Snowden, and the fact that he's used the 'espionage act' to go after more whistleblowers than all previous presidents combined is inexcusable. (Thank you to everyone who pointed out that I missed this!)

If Obama pardons or commutes Manning's sentence, that will be a huge deal, not just for manning, but for whistleblowers in general. It would be an act of true compassion...I would literally cry if it happens.
I hope Obama doesn't have stocks with Big Seltzer otherwise we are screwed.
One last q -- do you think Obama has been the best POTUS in your lifetime? I think we're around the same age, and for me it's not even a contest -- he absolutely wins, hands down.
surgeyX I do
surgeyX wasn't Kyle alive for the Clinton Years?
"he was a better president than Bush"
I can run faster than Stephen Hawking
To be fair, I can't think of a single GOOD thing Bush did for the country. So, technically, he WAS better... albeit not by that much.
Yes, that's exactly my point.
btw isn't your picture the album cover of some Bob Dylan album?
Zjoorde Groet Yes, it's the illegitimate '73 DYLAN album.
Ah, good to know my mental database of '60s and '70s album covers still funtions!
@@ComeOnIsSuchAJoy The two things I can think of from Bush are PREA (prison rape enforcement act) and commissioning that Westpoint Study on domestic threats.

When capitalism isn't balanced by socialism, democracy is replaced with corporatocracy.
Perfectly summarized my dude
People say “true socialism” has never worked, and I agree. It devolves into state capitalism. That means “true capitalism” hasn’t worked and always devolves into crony capitalism that we have now. I think social democracy is the way to go.
When capitalism isn't balanced by socialism, democracy is replaced with fascism.
For me, I will never be able to forget or forgive how the architects of the financial crisis not only didn't get punished, but were able to go back to business as usual or even more corrupt than before. I was graduating college around that time, and god DAMN life was a struggle just to find even shitty jobs. But the people who caused it to happen? They came out ahead. Obama did a lot of good, I know. But that's a defining moment of his presidency for me because it defined how godawful my mid-to-late 20's would be. It caused a lot of disillusionment. I still get angry about it.
Yeah, unfortunately a lot of us who were between the ages of 18-21 in 2007~ really got the shaft in terms of good employment opportunities. A lot of those nice middle management jobs and other good middle class business type jobs never came back either, a lot of them got consolidated and the responsibilities were broken up to lower level employees or higher level employees. In a lot of companies I have worked at you are either at the top or bottom now, there is little room for advancement.
[how the architects of the financial crisis not only didn't get punished, but were able to go back to business] The architect Larry Summers (nuttered Glass-Steagal, deregulated derivatives) was appointed to be to be Director of the National economic council.
I agree....you can go out and commit and minor crime that only causes harm to a small amount of people and get life, yet people whose actions that hurt millions of people get a pay raise and little time in jail if any at all. I graduated during that time so I know how you feel. It was miserable.
Let's keep it real. Obama had some hits as President, but the many misses he had outweigh his accomplishments. To me he was a neo-liberal President, and not a progressive. A great orator and communicator, but a weak and ineffective leader.
Alright, now let's play "Predict Trump's Report Card"! Come back to this comment in 4 years to see how things turned out!
POSITIVES:
- Got us out of Syria
- Labelled China a currency manipulator
- Was so horribly awful that the backlash gave the presidency to [Bernie the White, formerly Bernie the Grey, but after a failed assassination attempt by one of Richard Spencer's followers/Cory Booker but after being visited by three ghosts and giving up big money donations/Elizabeth Warren], as well as handing the Senate and Congress over to the Democrats.
- Didn't escalate with Russia despite pressures from his own party
NEGATIVES:
- Ruined American healthcare system/tried to pass Obamacare off as his own idea by renaming it Trumpcare and leaving it almost unchanged
- Caused another economic crash by slashing taxes for the rich and deregulating big business... also pissing off China
- Declared war on Iran; wasted 4 trillion dollars and 40,000 American lives; killed 2 million Iranians, 300,000 Israelis and 350,000 Palestinians
- Used a fucking nuke, or at least seriously threatened to do so
- Did at least one rape or sexual assault
- Amped up coal and fossil fuel usage, sending humanity into a death-spiral from which it may not recover (THE BIG ONE; HE MAY HAVE DOOMED THE HUMAN RACE HERE)
- Attacks on freedom of the press and deregulation of libel laws
- Increasing restrictions on abortion
- Allowed states to open up gay conversion therapy bullshit
- Executed Chelsea Manning :(
- Tried to stab Cornell West to death with a broken bottle
- Didn't really care much about the whole "alt-reich marching against Jewish neighbourhoods" thing
- Let Russia invade [INSERT COUNTRY HERE]
- Recognized annexation of Crimea
- Privatized the State of Nebraska

This actually made me chuckle...
I'd normally agree, but that Mike Pence pick is really, really concerning for me. I really do think he'll pass some anti-LGBT legislation so as to shore up the social conservative (see: fucking lunatic) base that the GOP has cultivated over the past 50 years.
Charmiskit actually that applies to the pence trump relationship. Pence is an avid supporter of conversion therapy and could convince trump to do something about it. So... You never know what's possible.
Is that last one necessarily a bad thing?
He did commute Chelsea Manning's sentence, and she got out today. Somebody give that woman a medal, she deserves it.
Guys. Guys. He did thousands of drone strikes and most of them killed civilians but guys, he dropped the mic in the white house correspondents dinner. Guys.
Henry Ford why the fuck are you here if you hate us liberals then? To call us cucks or something?
Thanks Kyle. This is what I was looking for: an impartial critique of the Obama administration.
Biggest Secular Talk letdown was not delivering on a Trump report card
I can't wait for the Trump version
And right wing morons will project their tribalism on Kyle once again, claiming he never attacked Obama. SMH
So far it's an F-
Daniel Dankers so far d- maximum
@@thomasmackelly7685 he did one good thing recently ,reducing student loan debt for disabled veterans, out of the thousands of goofs
F easily so far, he's done 1 or 2 good things, unfortunately he's probably gonna get a 2nd term because our country is filled with so many idiots it's almost impressive.
I can’t wait for the Trump report card.
In like 4 years😂
@@JustinElliott1 sadly, since they fucked bernie
It probably won’t be that different.
I'm gonna make a prediction... 39%
I hope President Obama is the last of the neo-con era. After President Trump, we can put a real liberal in the White House. Neo-cons and conservatives have made this country go downhill. We haven't had a real liberal in the White House since the Roosevelt's.
Like Nancy Pelosi? How about hank johnson? How about Elijah cummings. how about elizabeth warren. How about keith ellison. How about michelle Obama.
Do one for Trump!!
Oh boyy.. we can spend half an hour just on COVID
i support it
If Bush was a 1 out of 10, I'd give Obama a 3 out of 10. Obama is three times better than Bush, but it's still a fail.
Then run for office and try to be anything better than 0.00000000000001
Excellent break down. Obama did some good things, but I'm so tired of the propaganda parading Obama as a liberal hero.
Thank you, me too. I find that if I criticise his actions you get told that its irrelevant because he's done "so much good", and I am automatically a Trump supporter...People seem incapable of pulling their heads out of the 2 party systems ass.
He is a hero!
... he has cute 'fist-bump' and can 'slow rap with Jimmy Fallon'.
Milktoast moderate, I say.
I don’t how much of a historian you are, but you should do report cards for all presidents. If not, then at least the modern presidencies.
This
Trueeee
Obama's the best president during my lifetime -- and I still give him an F. Why? Because of the drone strikes alone. The drone strikes alone give him an F. Horrible. Murderous. Unacceptable.
I give him a 50%. F letter grade.
Id give him a 65%
Obama was a president who, as you said, does not really represent all the leftist values people think he does. However, to be upset with him is ridiculous. In comparison to almost every other president I would say he's one of the best.
Personally, I think Obama is a lot more liberal as a person than his policies show. He just seems timid to big business.
Mrbigweeknee you can't be timid when you're in charge of a huge country.
RetroFilth He's not actually timid in his personality. Timid in his policy making, as a person Obama is quote assertive. I'd rather have someone with Obama's timidity than Trumps ignorance or Bush's stupidity.
Mrbigweeknee that's what I meant, he doesn't wanna take shit from the media
RetroFilth Agreed. I'm not a huge Obama fan, but I'm just saying we need to consider the alternatives as well as past and prior presidents in comparison.
I agree with this as well. Kyle acts like if Obama were as bullheaded as he is(or even as many Republicans can be) everything would have gotten passed. I think Obama's policy timidness is connected to his moderate side which is connected to compromise side. If he went full-fledged progressive we'd be giving him a 0% rating because he would have gotten NOTHING and I mean nothing done. There were times that he showed assertiveness though and I think that's where liberals get annoyed. He'll show it in certain issues but then not in others. So you see he's capable of not pulling punches but then he goes back to pulling punches.
I can’t wait till Trump’s report card
Mad King James it’ll be like Nathan Fielder graduating from business school with “good grades”
Russel Jimmies sounds ab right
Thomas really? I’d give em a D, he’s done some good, but he’s also made some really really bad decisions. We won’t see the repercussions for another five or so years though
Thomas yeah I’d say people are more afraid of some of the things he’s tried to do. But I feel like he hasn’t DONE much (mostly because of the Democrats) for better or for worse
I give him a C- I think he will go down as a president who had good intentions always but couldn't deliver a overall good outcome with his actions. If you think about it, that's true for nearly all of the things hes done in office.
I agree. He could have done more. He's a half-measure president
it goes to show that trying to compromise and work with the GOP is pointless
He destabilzed 3 countries and you give him a C-? Fuck that lol
It's not the GOP's fault. They back the president on actual good ideas, not partisan bullshit they obviously wont stand behind. Obama did have a couple of years stretch where he had unified control of government anyway..
A New World Order He wasn't all terrible. He did bring US out of a recession (even tho the recovery was slow and full of debt spending), and he did legalize gay marriage (although I don't really give a shit about it personally).
Bernie/Tulsi 2020
@@BladedBear I'm cool either way.
Bernie/Trump 2020
Trump capitulates and becomes bernie running mate,severing ties with both democratic and republican party and running for the bullmoose party
The bad is certainly more subtle than what Trump or Bush did.
@Ayub Khan He is a war criminal. He killed more civilians than pretty much everyone else with his way too many drone strikes. He was coincidentally the president who revoked Obama's rule that it's a must to report civilian casualties.
@Ayub Khan Trump has WAAAY more innocent blood on his hands than Obama.
@Dragonblazzer969 Trump has increased bombing strikes by 400%... I dont think thats not classifying him as a war criminal. When are people going to wake up and see these politicians dont work for us? Its laughable. Find one good thing about Trump and all of a sudden hes not a war criminal
I can't wait for Kyle to do Trump’s report card
NJF Productions F all around except for stopping the TPP and maybe just a few other things
Hope it’s a report card for one term, and not otherwise...
Eric Thomas North Korea summits would definitely be in the positive, can’t really think of anything else lol
Easily an F so far, he's done 1 or 2 good things, unfortunately he's probably gonna get a 2nd term because our country is filled with so many idiots it's almost impressive.
Still waiting...
Will never forgive Obama's dismissal of Flint.
dismissal is a drastic understatement. he pretended to drink a glass of water as a stunt while swearing “this isn’t a stunt”
then proceeded to deploy the national guard to blow up and shoot at abandoned buildings without any warning or explanation. any idea what the message he was trying to send was? “shut up and drink your lead or we’re gonna make you eat lead”
grade A scumbag material right there
That image of Obama "drinking Flint water" is forever etched in my mind. What an atrocity.
F------------------------------------------------------------------------ on corruption
D- on foreign policy
B on social issues

It’s been three months since Trump left so when are we getting a trump report card video?
Facts
Maybe a reason might be that the grading would be so predictable that it’s not worth the time?
No real need. I think we all agree Trump was a terrible president. The problem with Obama is that he is so smooth, so popular, so well-liked, that it can be difficult to assess his presidency objectively. Kyle does a great job of that here.
@@ottz2506 Exactly! An overview of Obama’s terms, though, is very helpful because even though he makes you FEEL like he was a great president, when you actually look at his record objectively…not so much.
Before watching, I´d give him a D. He is a slick, conman. A neocon posing as a progressive. Arrogant and out of touch. Not cool. Let´s see what Kyle comes up with.
Huh, perfect. :)
I want to see Kyle's report card for Trump's first term.
Are we gonna get a Trump Report Card video?
yeah when he leaves in 2024 #stopthesteal
And yes i’m trolling
I asked him in his livestream and he said yes.
He should make it his thing no one else does it. After a few presidents he’d be known for it
I want one of these for every president we’ve ever had that’d be a fucking awesome playlist.
Agreed. Kyle's best content are these policy specific videos.
Last time I checked, a grade of 67% was a 'D' and in some cases an 'F.' Generally, 70% was considered a 'D' and approximately 72% was a low 'C'. Though I don't dispute the percentage, I think a 'C' grade is...generous.
You forgot to include Obama going after journalists who expose political/corporate corruption. Just ask someone like Amy Goodman.
LisaC134 When I rate anything I say that anything under 60 is an F and 60-69 is a D.
LisaC134
67% is a D+
This is the most well-researched segment by Kyle. It was really informative especially since left media shines light only about his accomplishments whereas right media only focuesses on the negative and we really don't know what actually happened.
the blue light looks good
Best republican president in modern history.
Miles PQ ....damn
I bet big seltzer told him to switch the lights to blue.....
Nessim The Dream Its Alex Jones Bday
Welp Trump is next
Really wish we got a Trump report card.
I'm VERY MUCH looking forward to "Trump's Report Card - A Breakdown Of His Presidency
", hopefully January 2021!
joe biden is a puppet and a war hawk.
My guess is that Trump would get an F. I doubt he'd get anything higher than a D- but even a D- would be too high of a score.
@John Smith Dawg i get that establishment dems suck fat asshole too but can you please stop pretending like Trump (and any republican) isn't alot more harmful that even the worst of establishment dems?
@@yup4295 facts people rightly rag on Biden because he sucks but ignore that trump is so much worse
Ah remember 8 years ago when you weren't called racist for literally everything
+JJ
Hope and change, they said. Race relations would get better if Obama becomes president, they said. Yes we can, they said.
I can't believe I fell for the Obama meme.
"The taliban are gonna take over if we leave in 10 years!"
Gotta hand it to you Kyle, you called it 5 years early!
I give obama A+ , he didn't invade North Korea!
Kim Jong-un I almost responded seriously but then I saw your name.
I rate his presidency 9/11
" not enough healthcare" and "Too many bombs" -IGN
18:00 "There's a big difference between having an administration that just generally speaking believes in science..." these words will forever haunt me
Last time I was this early, Obama still pretended to bring change.
Everything at his farewell address was bullshit after bullshit. He lied about almost everything in his speech.

Kyle just sold out to big seltzer... changing the colors scheme SAD
Please do one of these for Trump whenever his presidency ends
It could've been a lot worse...(McCain and Romney)
They were all the same Song Bird, Floppy Ears, and Mitty. Song Bird and Floppy ears are both traitors.
If you hold him to his campaign promises, he is unquestionably a gigantic failure.
Obama unseated Democrats all over the country and gave us a Trump presidency. Grade = A+
Can he just run for a public office already???
I disagree, those he murdered and the many many many lifes dying on wars alone is a failure. A complete utter failure
He was a failure on foreign policy, but not in the United States
@@AspieOperator Sooo the US murdering lives over seas qualified him not being a failure in the US. Sounds like you have zero respect for the many innocent lives hes taken or just hold the American people over others. Same logic I get from Biden supporters about voting for Biden when Biden contributed to killing innocents over seas but when it comes to killing protesters...Trumps a big threat and Biden supporters have the same complete outrage as Republicans and we need to now vote blue no matter who. Give me a break, screw Biden and Obama and killing innocents over seas and the logic that American lives are more important then innocent people over seas.
Dan Vercruysse I never said vote blue no matter what
@@WitchDoctor87 What I think Johntavious meant was he was a failure on foreign policy (which would include wars) but was alright on domestic issues
Either way uh... This videos about 3.5 years old so...
ford even on domestic issues he was pretty terrible. The thing is we have a worm in offices who is inhumane so terrible just feels alright.
Trump voters like, "yeah lets build a wall!! Stay out of our country if you're illegal!!"
**most deportations for illegal immigration happened under obama**
This video should be required viewing for everyone concerned about our government.
Please share it's still relevant perhaps even more so.

i would give him a 80 or a B- because he was better than the average president way better than bush but most of his policies will be repealed did not do enough while he was in control and he lost congress
wtf under Trump Flint still doesn't have clean water 😂
His entire presidency could be summed up as: hopeful but disappointing
Ijaz Ahmed it was TREMENDOUS!
Holy shit, this is an hour. All right...here we go.
Did some mindless, repetitive work and let it play in the background. It was lovely and though I'm not sure I have the head to give a real, concrete mark after it all, just being able to recap the whole term like that was interesting and I'd say important. This is what opinions are all about, the irrefutable facts paired with how much they're worth to you. As long as I get the facts, the mark at the end really isn't important beyond knowing how aligned my values are with Kyle's. Great stuff altogether.
Obama is only the best president since Reagan. So, by the standards of the past 40 years, he's the best. However, Obama was weak for a Democrat. FDR was the model.
FDR should’ve been the model.
On that scale, every president of the last 60 years have been F’s and D’s.
In his 8 years in office Obama basically did what Childish Gambino did in the "This Is America" music video.
@@bluepearl_22 That's still better than Bush and Reagan.
???
@@VERCINGET0RIX nope. Dwight D Eisenhower and Kennedy where part of the new deal. Same thing goes for Lyndon Johnson.
You also forgot he didn't do justice and prison system reform.
I give him like a B-, I think he was a good president. He definitely wasn't as progressive as I wanted him to be , but I think he did a decent job given the restrictions and trying to make a society that everyone is happy with. I think the fact he was more of a moderate on certain issues and that was his major downfall.
His "progressive" things sucked shit. Saying Treyvon Martin would've looked like his son if he had one just divided our country more by fanning the flames and I don't know why people think gun control is some great solution. At least he was quite charismatic?
Obama gets the same grade as our infrastructure

why defaq my comment got deleted, I know it wasn't Kyle, UTUBE deleted it cause I talked about the US sanctioning (everything) medicine against IRan?
people are fukin DYING because of shortage of drugs
fukin hell; its banned by the UN to sanction any country from importing medicine, except, the US pulled out of that deal just to keep Iran under Medical Sanctions, targeted right towards Iran's nuclear program, not sick people at all; what and how much of a threat am I towards the US?
why the US imports 99% of its medicine and drugs but sanctions iran and not let it from doing the exact same thing, I can't find Zoloft for crying out loud
Do Americans benefit from my Massive Depression Disorder and Bipolar Disorder?
I have to suffer a 2-months depression episode, and barely making it out ALIVE, whhy just fukin why? do I fukin look like a nuclear factory? DEFAQ did I do to Americans, I love Americans I have 2 online American friends (through gaming) they are super nice they know I am not a threat to us security, why do I have to be targeted by sanctions?
thank you leaders of the free world. AND FYI AMERICANS know that even when Trump pulled out of the deal and sanctioned every single fukin thing Iran held up the deal with EU
Until the US assassination of Suleiman; sounds recent doesn't it? because it was fukin recent, we held our end of JOPAC for 4 fukin years even though the US did a 180 and by the sixth month of Trump in office, it had an all-time high record number of sanctions against Iran

Kyle you need to make more videos like these. I know your channel is meant to deconvert conservatives and such but you have really good insights on political history. Hell, you should start another channel where you give the historical context to modern politics.
I can't wait for the Bernie Sanders report card in January 2025 and in January 2029.
RabbidTheNabbit Bernie has to win the nomination and then the election first.
@@BladedBear independence doesn't work in your shit hole country so of course he's running as democrat
@@entealdenteytk7127 *fuck*
I've heard Bernie only wants to serve a single term. I'd be fine with that; James Polk did the same thing and he's remembered as one of our better presidents.
This comment hasn't aged well. 😅
67% seems extremely generous.
I can't wait for Trump's exit report card in January 2021.
Dave Cunningham 2025*
DamnitDaniel damn
2040*, when he dies. Remember, Trump said he wants to be president forever.
Too bad that sneaky ol' Constitution won't let him.
RAW BET!!!!!
If he doesn’t do a trump report card he’s not about that real shit
I give Obama an A on him giving great speeches. And an F on his Neoliberal economic domestic policies and an F for foreign policy because of all the wars he started and continued from George W Bush
Obama was great on the outside but shit on the inside. Great facade but no substance.
Great and thorough analysis. I could definitely watch one more hour out of this. Good job, Kyle.
I don't get why republicans call him the worst president ever
Ya but try to hear there reasoning , there is none ! They have the Fox News illness
+MALE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN
Troll detected.
Well, I'm a fan of FDR's New Deal, which is probably much of what conservatives would cite as fascist, but internment camps don't come from a lack of racism.
I listened to Tomi Lauren's horseshit yesterday about Obama and I wanted to vomit, I wish Kyle could debate her and shut her up for good.
cause he's black
Money out of politics would literally have put him in the high 80s to 90s in my eyes because republicans and corporate dems would no longer have an incentive for most of their terrible policies, changing everything.
What he did with his visit to Flint shows him for the sociopath he is.
Ann Kristoff what did he do with his Flint visit?
@@luisraulraudales2468 heavily downplayed the very serious problems, including having a cup of water that he pretended to drink from as a sign that things were not that bad.
@@ToaNyroc Just imagine if Trump did that. MSNBC and CNN would literally go up in flames.
Let's see:
- Started out with two conflicts in the middle east we now have seven.
- Re-inflated the same the same economic system that created the recession in 08.
- Supplied "rebels", who've committed some of the most heinous crimes against humanity during the Syrian conflict.
- Funded Saudi Arabia in their genocidal rampage in Yemen.
- Pushed the TPP, which would have ended the freedoms we currently enjoy on the internet.
- Jailed and or put under house arrest whistleblowers.
Just on these alone ranks Obama's time in office "Meh".
Goes from "meh" to "awe hell nah!" when you factor in him being a muslim funded by saudi arabia
Multiple sources peer reviewed, and documented as evidence for each of these claims please.

Sean Tripp Bush started two wars. Obama started zero wars. He did end the war in Libya, at least the major conflicts but is partially responsible for prolonging the war in Syria.
Most countries in the West support Saudi Arabia, including leftists in Europe.
Harry Spencer He's a Muslim now?.Yall still believe that fuckin bullshit
You left out that he pushed for Hillary Clinton to be his successor and discouraged Biden from running. And I think he criticized Bernie a few times when he was supposed to be neutral during primary. All this leading to Trump.
You forgot how in the last 2 years he raised wages substantially. Last 2 years wages grew 5.2% and 3.2% way better than the 1.5% average we were used to.
blue is better. Stay with blue
You forgot his unprecedented war on whistleblowers (I'm assuming that was a mistake). That ought to be a big drop.
Please do a Trump report card for his first term. That would be entertaining.
Trump has kept every one of his 20+ campaign promises, just one reason why he's so popular.
Scott Hullinger
No he fucking hasn’t, not even close. The biggest one was that he would end the wars and be non-interventionist.

What about Mexico paying for the wall? Whoops...
@@floki5605 - Whoops? "Paying for the wall" is hardly about putting cash in our pockets.
Take it metaphorically, exactly was it was meant. Mexico "pays for it" based on how they respond to Trump, either to their benefit, or their detriment. Are you really stupid enough to believe that Mexico is simply going to hand over some cash? It doesn't work that way.
@@scotthullinger9955
Actually I'm afraid you're the idiot here. When trump first mentioned "Mexico will pay for the wall" he meant it LITERALLY. Trump and the mexican president went back and forth on conferences, with the Mexican president stating "I'm not paying for that fucking wall" (look it up). Reporters then began to press trump about how he was going to make mexico pay for the wall given that the mexican president said he refused. Trump had to find a way out of this hard position, so he twisted what he originally said to not seem like a complete idiot, thus turning to a "metaphorical" for the trade deals as you put it. His original statement was NOT metaphorical (and how arrogant of you assume the entire U.S population would interpret it as such, do you realize how dumb the average American is?)
Expanded Bush's doctrine of preemptive strikes to include drone strikes internationally without the preface necessary of preemption. NSA's reach has expanded immensely under him. He also augmented interventions to into 13 countries. It is hard to regard him as one of the best when he is arguably one of the most aggressive imperialists in US history.
He waited until he was nearly out of office to help Standing Rock. And both pipelines were not stopped permanently. He gave us a really weak ruling. The Rezpect Our Water Lakota youth
ran 2000 miles to deliver a petition to Obama, and he would not even speak to them. He increased fracking all over the nation, and allowed the export ban on fossil fuels to expire. As a president for the environment and water he was a HUGE disappointment.
He did not help stop either pipeline. He could have declared Standing Rock a protected area. He could have stood up before the demonstration got out of hand. But instead just said 'let's see how it plays out'. #NoDAPL #WaterIsLife #RezpectOurWater
I generally agree with this assessment... and, unlike Obama, I still can't think of a genuinely GOOD thing Bush did for the country.
Sure he murdered people... but he also did good things, so he passes. My drivers ed teacher disagrees with your assessment of "passing."
U should also ask him on his “assessment” of Trump
One of the functions of the state is to kill. It is almost expected for it to happen. Therefore, is it really that improper? This is an argument for anarchism.
By virtue of being an empire, which the US is, foreign actors who oppose US power will die. It is not possible to be President of the United States and not have killed people in the post-WWII regime. Even a Sanders or Gabbard presidency would have presided over extrajudicial killings.
@@Xpistos510 There's a difference between killing active combatants and war crimes.
Thanks for the work you've put in to this :)
Why the heck would people be against tax cuts for the poor and middle class/ small businesses? That is just cruel and the anti-thesis of progressivism. I'm with Kyle on this. Yeah and on the immigration thing people think that Obama has been soft but the guy jailed syrian and iraqi refugees for crossing the border.
For me i give him a C. He could have been better but he could of been ALOT worse
You give yourself a C?
Oh oops Misspell im fuckin tired and dont give a shit but thanks
Yan Yablonovskiy it's pretty pretty clear what he means
Andrew Huseby He edited his comment. So yes it obviously is.
Trump report card now.
70 is barely passing in every school I've ever been in
6/10 is good if you really consider how much it takes to be a perfect president
You're easily my fav talk show. Im a senior in high school and it sucks that most people in my school don't give a shit about politics and the ones who do at my school are sjw's! You have inspired me to take my own route in politics one day when I graduate. Just wanna say thank you Kyle for sharing your ideas for people like me who take inspiration off of them!
Tyler Wafflez go for it kid. just don't fuck over the common people like everyone else.
Tyler Wafflez props for being in high school and giving a shit at all. I know I couldn't care less in HS. Stay informed!
Trying going to Catholic School. Almost everyone is a blind Trump supporter, parroting lines about Bernie being a communist and that Trump will make America great again by building a wall. The teachers straight up said they're voting for Trump and constantly say blatant lies to make Trump look good and any Democrat to look like the devil, with our theology teacher giving an entire class on how the liberal party is possessed by Satan
John Smith And the teachers in schools who ARE liberal are fuckin SJW's spewing bullshit
SJW is a mythical right wing label in the vast majority of cases.
34:18 is where the good of obama starts to end.
“Buckle up.”
To judge any president compare their accomplishments to FDR. Comparing any president in history to trump gives them an automatic win which most don't deserve
Bush is worse than trump
@@beh802 doesn't make trump good lol
@Nick Arjomand who? Just to be clear I said that trump wasn't good
I 99% agree with you.
FDR was a ROLE MODEL for all modern American presidents.
Though he was bad on race relations and social issues though. If we take into consideration that he was fairly soft on the Soviets in allowing MUCH annexation of Eastern Europe (which I understand, tbh), he turned a blind eye to much of Stalin's tyranny. I get it though, since he had much on his own plate domestically and last thing he wanted was another war.
FDR also did Japanese internment, which is effectively collective guilt. Understandable give the context, but still wrong.
He also allowed much redlining and didn't expand all of the blessings of the New Deal to blacks, allowing for much urban de facto segregation.
But on literally everything else, the hundreds upon hundreds of his policies, including all legislation he rammed through Congress, and EVERYTHING on economics, FDR was a motherfuckin boss. Greatest president ever.
Imagine Kyle doing a video on trump in 4 or 8 years. That will take hours and hours and hours
The negatives will.
He could have done the positives on a Vine. Probably why they got rid of it. #conspiracy
Countdown If Trump stays for 8 years America won't survive
