Pretty much.  My parents have both proclaimed him to be one of the best presidents we've ever had, and that "we can't take much more Obama."

Incidentally, I had to look up again who was who between Reagan and Nixon and make sure I got it right.  Why on Earth I can't keep the two straight is beyond me, but I literally ask myself, "Wait, isn't that the Watergate guy?" whenever someone mentions Reagan.

Before my time I guess.

Reagan's also the one who wanted us to re-enact Star Wars.

By waiting for the USSR to drink itself to death.

Isn't Reagan criticized TO THIS DAY about his handling of economics? To the point where Reaganomics is an insult?
Amongst leftists yes. But to full blooded, 100% patriotic, cheese-drinking, bullet-firing, eagle-conserving, communist-slaying and flag waving Americans, he's a top don.

In the UK, Reagan's counterpart Thatcher is used as an insult for her handling of economics in the liberal way of Reagan

By waiting for the old people to freeze to death. Wait, no, that was how the USSR won wars. I'm confused.

Might sound unrelated but you guys should check out "Patriots day" at least the trailer.

I have a feeling it might end up being the definitive "Muslims are scary" movie.

Yes, but I doubt Liveleaks is going to be affecting how America thinks or reflect their thinking processes.

According to it's wiki page is about the Boston marathon bombings and the manhunt right afterwards, from the perspective of the officers doing the manhunt. It's a tribute to the heroes of the day, basically.

A more appropriate name would be Patriotic Symbolism: The Movie.

Liveleaks already affects how America thinks and reflects on their thinking processes. Film a shit, only hipsters watch a film. Liveleaks is for the future

In all seriousness though, things like ytub and livlek are paramount important informational nodes for the minds of american brains

Obama's farewell speech in summary:

Racism sucks. Republicans suck. Trump sucks. You all suck for electing him. Democracy sucks. I don't understand the internet, so that sucks too. Hey everyone, look at my wife! Okay, Obama out~

Ooh thanks for the heads up, I'm going to watch that now.

Sidenote though.  When old people talk about technology, sometimes it sounds like they don't understand.  But occasionally, as I found out just yesterday, they understand a surprising amount.  Insight can look like ignorance, particularly when the person is old...  Really depends on the person.

Jesus, the crowd chanting "four more years" at the start. It feels like half these major speeches from Clinton and Obama have had to include a civics lesson anxiously reminding people that transitions are supposed to be peaceful.
