[–] Stez827@sh.itjust.works 7 points 2 years ago (2 children) How did Obama do this the fuck permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 4 child comments replies: [–] FriedCheese@lemmy.world 36 points 2 years ago (3 children) People here who don't remember the thanks Obama meme is very sad. Anytime anything bad happened people would say "thanks Obama" then it got turned into a meme of people saying it when it didn't even have anything to do with Obama. It got so popular that Obama himself made a meme. https://youtu.be/4IdzM1kmP_A?si=BjtCB_rfvoDr45I9 permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 6 child comments replies: [–] TriPolarBearz@lemmy.world 18 points 2 years ago People don't remember the Thanks Obama meme... Thanks Obama! permalink fedilink source parent [–] Anticorp@lemmy.world 1 point 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (1 child) Haha. Somehow I haven't seen that before. Obama was a very likeable person. Edit: idk why I said "was". He's not dead. He is a likeable person. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] rwhitisissle@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago (1 child) Eh, Obama oversaw the expansion of our national surveillance state apparatus, so...not everybody felt he was very likable. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] Anticorp@lemmy.world 1 point 2 years ago Oh, some of his actions were certainly not likeable, like your point, authorizing missile strikes, continuation of the war, extension of the Patriot Act, etc.. But his personality was likeable and charming, which is more than I can say for most of the President's during my lifetime. permalink fedilink source parent [–] grue@lemmy.world -2 points 2 years ago (1 child) It's not that people don't remember the meme; it's that this guy seems like he's saying it unironically. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] Anticorp@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago* (1 child) False!
