Hang on, Obama actually held press conferences. Staged media events don't count. Rose Garden pressers with the Air Force One chopper standing by to drown out questions don't count. "Town Hall" infomercials with Hannity and an audience fed questions don't count. Nor do staged rallies where he gets no questions at all.
Trump can't even get them right, blurting out stuff like his strategy to lower coronavirus numbers by slowing down testing. Obama faced real journalists at real press conferences. When they asked tough questions, he answered. He didn't say stuff like "go ask Chi-na" or threaten to sue for being asked about the polls, he let them ask what they wanted and he gave tough questions real answers.
Why would anybody make out otherwise? The media gave Obama hell. He was known as a do-nothing president because a Republican-majority congress and senate gave him hell too. Just think, when Trump offers his most proud "achievement" in office as judicial appointments, it's because every appointment Obama proposed for his last three years in office was rejected.
Plus it's really McConnelle's achievement, not Trump's.
But you're right, they're all good points. It's been so long since we have a real President of the USA, I'd forgotten what Obama had to go through...

You know that. You don't have to water down history in an attempt to engage Rich. He'll never see the light. Rich only sees leftards and rightards. He doesn't have any beliefs of his own. Ask him - he'll just regurgitate what he's told.
The sign of a true Trumptard. Demand people do their own research, "READ THE TRANSCRIPT", don't be a SHEEP!
But when you ask if they've read the transcript, "well no, but I don't need to, it was a perfect call".
Yeah... "Don't be sheep", well done.
Or Aquascoot's study him - 5 years is the minimum.
I don't actually listen to him speak.
Sure. Real Americans like a bit of a bullshitartist, it's the new paradigm.
Is that the one where he he promised to cut through all the lies and just tell it how it is?
That's it.
Exactly.
Never. Why do you ask?
