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.

Eh, Obama oversaw the expansion of our national surveillance state apparatus, so...not everybody felt he was very likable.

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.

It's not that people don't remember the meme; it's that this guy seems like he's saying it unironically.

False! Maybe your sarcasm meter is broken.

Maybe you failed to account for Poe's law.

I cannot overcome the laws of reality. All I can do is place faith in my fellow humans to rise above the need for /s tags. I figured the line about tipping doctors for writing prescriptions, and the use of a common meme were clear indications that I was being sarcastic. But I get your point, and there is a lot of crazy on the internet these days (always has been, but it's even more common now).
