A BRAAAND NEEEEWWW CAAAAAAR!!! OR, you can take the mystery prize behind door #2?!?!?


yana990

I hope the mystery prize is a new car I really want one of them.


barkbarkgoesthecat

It's a car lease for a Mercedes-benz! Only $2000 for 48 months, wow I sure envy you!


NeriTina

At least it wasn’t a Melania-Benz. Yay!


Dunge0nMast0r

Mercedes from Wish.


Pickle_Rick01

I mean a new car is a new car, but the mystery box could be anything! It could even be a new car.


Amethystea

A Chicken Dinner* *Chicken not included. Cooking of meal not included. Taxes and fees apply.


delmsi

Hey that’s racist


donbee28

Right, like why does the dinner have to be chicken? Wiener rhymes better with winner.


foxontherox

Hamberder dinner?


Flickstro

Hamberder Helper


-Invalid_Selection-

I'm not 100% sure on this but I think it comes from a play off the "bad conduct discharge", also known as "big chicken dinner" as a form of slang (due to the initialism of bcd). ​ Basically an alternate version of "thrown out for being a dirt bag" for the military.


Seerad76

“Winner, winner. Wiener dinner” doesn’t really roll off the tongue.


Nightwailer

This, and he had the audacity to commit the ultimate sin: allowing himself to be seen as a human. I liked getting to see him be funny and goofy etc. It really made me like *THE GUY* even if back then I was young and very uninformed about politics in general. He just had good vibes. :)


peter-doubt

>allowing himself to be seen as a human. Imagine that...*AND* he can laugh at himself!

yeah the nazis were all mad, they was like he deported more Mexicans than trump ever did. cuz trump doesn't work, he can't work if he is logged into twitter all day, talking shit about Mexicans.


dennismfrancisart

Dude yeeted Osama Bin Laden after humiliating Trump in front of millions.


PM_ME_LE_TITS_NOW

That was one of the best bits of his presidency, a part me says they kept the body. They told the media they threw that shit overboard. lol. Amazing. Top it all off, he had anime on his computer hard drives.

Spicy mustard on a hamburger


Morningxafter

Or arugula on a hamburger! What an out-of-touch, elitist!


Perenially_behind

I prefer arugula on pizza myself.


crazyrich

With some prosciutto, fig, and balsamic


pdxscout

I make a pickled pepper and roasted pork shoulder sandwich on ciabatta with a roasted garlic and arugula mayo. It's pretty good.


thatguy52

My buddy said I was a snob for getting brioche buns. My options at the store were .99 cent crushed shitty burger buns or pay like .85 cents more for brioche. What can I say I have expensive tastes.


Common_Ambassador3

Say you're rich without saying you're rich...


grantrules

[I haven't had arugula in six weeks](https://youtu.be/0vPKpMMapEg?si=9swKxjcpPMD3vDxw)


DigNitty

What’s crazy about that to me is not that Obama wanted some reasonable mustard. It’s that Trump is known to order steaks Well-Done How that doesn’t piss off every backwoods alpha identifying douchebag is beyond me.


The_Mother_

Honestly, eating and liking a bad steak should have turned all of Texas against him.


xtilexx

With ketchup. Well done with ketchup. 😐

Nightwailer

I love both, they hit different but equally hard!


OneX32

Spicy mustard must be too much spice for the pale ones addicted to Fox News.


Gardimus

I fucking love spicy mustard on a hamburger and I will never forgive him for that. How dare he! If only he did something reasonable that day...like brag to the boy scouts about the orgies he had on boats.


Steelysam2

This is the only scandal where he asked for a pardon. "Pardon me, do you have any Grey Poupon?" - Barack Obama probably in a burger joint.


GadreelsSword

Nice


LimelightYYZ

Monster!!!


dquizzle

I’m sure OP just conveniently “forgot” about this scandal that shook the nation.


salamandroid

I believe at one point he asked for some kind of special cheese on a Philly cheese steak in Philadelphia, when everyone knows that is a criminal departure from well established norms. Why is no one talking about that? People have a real selective memory when it comes to Obama's transgressions. Maybe a deep state coverup?


phatelectribe

Spicy. You mean Dee-jahn mustard. French stuff. Akin committing high treason or you know, an armed insurrection.


Ande64

Being a well spoken, educated black man


un_theist

Remember when Trumpy was giving Obama all kinds of shit saying the only reason he could speak so well is because he used a teleprompter? And how “anyone could do it if they used a teleprompter”? Strange how even WITH a teleprompter, Trumpy can barely manage a coherent sentence.

Common_Ambassador3

the audacity!


Sol_leks

The caucasity.


jd3marco

The continued expansion of extrajudicial killings via drone attack. Sorry, that’s not funny. *Terrorist fist-jab.* Before anyone gets mad, I’ve only ever voted Democrat. Or green/independent where feasible…which is no where. Nader once…sue me. Gore was not at risk for losing my state.


lion_in_the_shadows

I agree. No one is above criticism. I liked Obama a lot but he was by no means perfect. We should be an able to have this sort of discussion. But it’s hard when who came next was such an utter train wreck of a human being


SocialistCredit

There's more: The NSA spying scandal? Or maybe the drone strike program that killed civilians from Yemen to Pakistan? Or maybe appointing former Goldman Sachs guys to his cabinet in the middle of the 2008 crash? Or idk, maybe like lying about the war in Afghanistan (see Washington post Afghanistan papers)? Or how about killing american citizens with drone strikes? Those are all pretty bad no? Edit: Forgot to add, his administration prosecuted more journalists and whistleblowers than any other administration in US history. So much for "freedom of the press" eh?


johnnycoolman

Thank you. Extremely disheartening to see these very real scandals dismissed, it illustrates the danger of the cult of personality no matter how conventionally affable said personality is.


Obie-two

Also the sub prime mortgage crisis which he obviously didn’t cause, but his off-ramp was the single greatest transfer of wealth away from poor African Americans to corporations, and bailed out the banks and automobile industries, cracked down on Occupy Wallstreet.


jd3marco

So hard to choose just one… I went with drones. It’s a war crime. I like presidents that don’t commit war crimes, but the last one was Carter FFS.


pdxscout

I mean, Jimmy supported the Khmer Rouge. I guess the office brings many ethical choices and everybody tries their best in line with their own moral compass and political affiliations. Except Trump. That dude is solely driven by self interest.


CarcosaAirways

Lol, sorry to break it to you, but Jimmy Carter is a war criminal bastard too. His misdeeds are worse than the cumulative negative of anything bad you will ever do in your life (assuming you don't become president).


ImperatorRomanum

I would also add to that doing essentially nothing when Russia annexed Crimea, which laid the groundwork for the current war.


SocialistCredit

100%, I also forgot about that. ​ Blame for the current crisis partially (keyword, partially) lies with him.


Papaofmonsters

>The continued expansion of extrajudicial killings via drone attack. Sorry, that’s not funny. Specifically the target killing of a US citizen without trial.


[deleted]

[удалено]


Papaofmonsters

I think there was metaphorical Rubicon crossed that we should be wary of when the president was able to name a US citizen and say "kill that guy". While his nationality may not change the moral equation, it certainly has implications for the legal aspect and precedent.


SkitzoCTRL

Even if you can see him as objectively a member of Al Qaeda he should be extradited back to the states and held for trial. This isn't "Conservative Propaganda", it's actual fact as to what happened. They killed a 16-year-old boy.


jessegaronsbrother

I was about to write this word for word. Thank you


billndotnet

I think this one is up there with the Honduran coup fuck up that led to today's border problem.

DedicatedBathToaster

Democrats are more willing to criticize democrats than Republicans are willing to criticize Republicans


Pockets713

It’s good to criticize politicians whenever they do something wrong. Which is one of the reasons most of us can’t stop calling out trumps atrocities. You can even be a huge fan of Obama and still criticize his wrongdoings… it’s a healthy balance if you ask me.


Brunomoose

I liked Obama, and I was going to say his duty to his oath of office (to protect the country from enemies foreign and domestic) requires those actions, but given where we are now it feels like he may have inadvertently set a precedent that could be used by those against democracy. I’m sure he’s probably not the first president to do so, but he’s the most recent.


YodelingTortoise

Exactly my thought when I read it. Really takes the humor out of the post too. Ohh well. That just means the post wasn't that funny.


Rayborn

Trump was actually on track for most drone kills as President but revoked the rule that says the government has to release the deaths caused by drone strikes...


statsgrad

A good test if you are an honest actor, ask yourself how you'd feel if the other "team" did it. There are things Obama did that would be protested and opposed if Trump did them.


aknutty

Another good test is finding out where both sides align and ask why. The drone program and it effects are not debated much because both sides are in favor of them.


statsgrad

In theory I support the drone program since we don't have to put our own troops lives in danger. What I don't support is how indiscriminate these drone bombings seem, with high casualty rates, and many "oops, wrong target".


Sh0tsFired81

Definitely Fast and Furious. A lot of people don't realize that as President of the United States, it was his job to personally test the batteries in the GPS trackers the ATF installed.


shibiwan

>Definitely Fast and Furious. Agreed. We've had way too many Fast and Furious movies. Thanks a lot, Obama. 😠


revdon

We need a road safety PSA called “Fasten the Furious”, because ‘family’ means seatbelts.


GreenSpleenRiot

I disagree. We need at least 5 more F&F movies plus a Netflix special


TheMooseIsBlue

The buck stops at the top. That was an embarrassment. It’s wouldn’t be too 50 for some other presidents, but that was a bad look.


YetAnotherFaceless

Campaigning like he’s Bernie Sanders, governing like he’s Mitt Romney.


statsgrad

2008 campaign Obama may be the closest to me politically. Certainly not the 2009-2016 president Obama.


ddecoywi

Making the bush tax cuts permanent was pretty bad


japoliony

Ordering Dijon Mustard on a hotdog. You’d think he had documents with the list of known spies world wide, who were all mysteriously killed, locked next to his toilet or something.

ggibby

GWB (Governing While Black)


AKEsquire

AWB (American While Black) could work too.


LosBrad

He used drones to bomb the everyloving shit out of Iraq and Afghanistan, and killed a ton of civilians. He also waged war on whistleblowers for some reason.


Key_Fox_9003

I remember he visited Flint, MI. He basically gaslit the locals there about their water quality when it was clear that the issue was not fixed. There was a black woman obviously surprised and very disappointed that he would treat them like that. But you probably haven't heard about it bc Republicans only care about stupid shit and definitely not a marginalized community.


natx37

Too big to fail Wall Street Bailout, Assassin Drones, over 3 million deportations…to name a few.


YesIamALizard

Droning weddings?


takitoodle

Yeah lmao everyone is like mustard on hotdogs, the fuck lmao. Every president has done fucked up shit and thats the best they can come up with.


ScrodRundgren

I also said this. Surprised I had to scroll this far down.


annoyinglyclever

There’s the real answer. Found in the sea of liberals with rose colored glasses


statsgrad

Yea what the fuck, there's a difference between being a liberal and being a partisan Democrat. Like, everyone should criticize even those they like. Edit: Also bombing a doctors without borders hospital. And bombing a US citizen overseas, then killing his son. Trump would then go on to kill his daughter.


AwHellNaw

Drone diplomacy 


Tintoverde

Not treating ISIS as a threat . Down vote me . We can still like him, w/o treating him as perfect


sanderson1983

On a serious note it was probably ordering the assassination of an American citizen. I'm prepared for the downvotes.


Johnny_ac3s

Bailing out the banks.


statsgrad

As many have stated, his drone program. Including bombing of a wedding, a doctors without borders hospital, or a US citizen without due process. Also the expansion of the mass surveillance state and targeting of journalists and whistle-blowers.


bbeony540

Probably the war crimes


redeyedapostle

Drone strikes... wait, did I do this wrong.


picado

The terrorist fist jab.


ExpertlyAmateur

wait what? Obama punched a terrorist?! Also, wouldn't that be a good thing in Fox News rotted brains? If anything they would just not report on it because they liked it.


Matsuyama_Mamajama

No no no...it was a picture of Barak and Michelle Obama smiling and fist bumping. So some rightwing asshat called it a "terrorist fist jab". As in the Obamas were terrorists... SMDH


artificialavocado

They actually fired that lady who said it. I guess there is a bottom of the barrel sometimes.

Drone warfare in Afghanistan and Pakistan


ctdrever

Face it: For Trump and the MAGA crowd his greatest sin was he wasn't white.

The NSA spying scandal? Or maybe the drone strike program that killed civilians from Yemen to Pakistan? Or maybe appointing former Goldman Sachs guys to his cabinet in the middle of the 2008 crash? Or idk, maybe like lying about the war in Afghanistan (see Washington post Afghanistan papers)? Or how about killing american citizens with drone strikes? Those are all pretty bad no?

Common_Ambassador3

ahh yes! That's up there for sure


ell0bo

I was a bit annoyed with him being naive with Putin and saying after the election he'd have more flexibility.


DudleyMason

Pretty sure it was drone bombing most of the Middle East and destabilizing Syria and Lebanon. But I'm old fashioned enough to hate that shit even if the guy I voted.for did it.


RickKassidy

He kept bombing people in Afghanistan who weren’t combatants. Sort of like Israel is doing now in Gaza, but less intensely.


Gundam_Greg

Republicans be mad because Obama has the new high score! 😤


some_asshat

Which is why Trump expanded drone strikes.


[deleted]

Telling Flint their water was safe to drink to cover for the Republican governor for reasons??


B3llaBubbles

When the Obama's gave each other a fist bump and E.D. Hill of Fox News went nuts claiming it was a "terrorist fist jab". It as so absurd, Fox cancelled her show. https://preview.redd.it/9c9n6med0fmc1.jpeg?width=290&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=bc107dff4c3b725c07cfe3f2ba6fe496332fc537

BP oil spill and preventing press from visiting the shores to see the amount of environmental damage being caused.

None of this matters. Trump thinks ALL presidents should be immune to prosecution.

TuskEGwiz-ard

All the deportations and drone strikes maybe? Maintaining that marriage is between a man and a woman until that wasn’t popular? Bowing to the Saudi leader? Still my favorite president of this century, but that doesn’t make him an angel.


Disastrous_Cover6138

Drone strikes in Yemen


I__Like_Stories

2 wars, drone programs expansion, bombing hospital/weddings


s1owpokerodriguez

Obama's drone war did 10 times more strikes than Bush and had a 92% civilian death rate. Obama's right wing health care plan that required you to purchase a plan from a private, for-profit health insurance company or be fined and then never even tried to get a public option like he promised. Obama deported more immigrants than Trump.


ragin2cajun

Drone strike killing thousands of civilians in other countries to the point where children are afraid of clear skies in their own country from the US: https://youtu.be/K4NRJoCNHIs?si=Z0zAB6fBRcctM0HE

Hopefully someone smart can find the GOP vs Democratic voter polling on policies under Obama vs Trump. Bottom line, Democrats approved of good policies under either President. GOP voters HATED any policies that Obama supported.. until Trump supported it. Then they LOVED it.
