Obama breaks silence on 2nd Trump presidency: "Imagine if I had done this!”

Should Obama have wielded power more forcefully from 2009-2017?

Dont ever forget Trump was a literal backlash from crakkkers that we even had a black president. its amazing he even existed and was voted to 2 terms. I know the FBAss nikkas and the Umars hate him, but dude really lucky they aint try to kill him
I actually wanna say this Trump has won TWICE against the DNC when women were the candidates I think that was bigger part of it and a failure of the DNC

The fact that you think any of that matters for a black man in America is funny. If he did what Trump is doing, things would have changed quickly and he would have been out of there. Not to mention, if he went rogue it would have been against the powers that be, and they wouldn’t let that fly.

This picture would've been a WHOLE LOT DIFFERENT if Barack behaved anything like Trump.

They would've deaded that man.

Oh and best believe, after it happened, it would have made the George Floyd protests look like child's play.

Jail bankers and plaster them on TV.

Nationalize the banks in 2009. Using the force of the government and public opinion on his side


And write down mortgages to avert the foreclosure wave which Bush and Paulson were contemplating after TARP was passed

More FDR

Less Clinton

Objectively, I agree with what you're saying in a PERFECT WORLD.

But we're not in a perfect world. I also think you're losing yourself in how things are now in 2025 but, not considering the climate of 2009.

You want the President....the first Black President....to jail the CEOs of Bank of America, Goldman Sachs, JP Morgan, Citi Bank, and Wells Fargo? Really breh? You seriously think that this would happen? Without massive blowback? First of all, you're tanking the market off rip. Next, I could see Republicans trying to spin it as being motivated by racial animus with this black man jailing all these white execs. Putting Jamie Dimon, Lloyd Blankfein in jail back then is like putting Elon Musk and Jeff Bezos in prison right now. It's just not realistic and that's not even getting into the amount of money and influence these companies wield.

Socialism was also a very dirty word back in 2009. It is now but even moreso back then. The Republicans tried to paint Obama as a socialist in all of their attacks and he wasn't even that Progressive. If he nationalized the banks, with his black ass, they would have all the proof they needed to paint him as one and the majority of white people would buy it. Again. I don't necessarily disagree with what you're saying but, you are underselling how much pressure Barack was under and how he would be treated if he did any of the bolded.

Trump gets treated like a special Olympian. The only other politician that got treated like he does is Palin. Just don't faint or shut your pants and its a win.
