President Obama was pretty boring, I'll admit, but as we look forward to another election this year, consider where we were 4 years ago:
Illegal border crossings were at an all time low. Cabinet positions were filled with fully vetted people approved under our Constitution, children were not being locked in cages, our President was not paying off playmates and pornstars to keep their mouths shut about his many extramarital affairs for fear of damaging his political standing, he was not giving away top secret information to mother Russia, the country had mostly healed from the great recession, Obama was not threatening Harvard with lawsuits if they released his grade transcripts, the GOP's scare tactics of "death panels" relating to Obamacare were proven to be a lie, he wasn't lying about Mexico paying for a border wall. Oh, and he did release his tax returns.
- And look where we are now.
My only beef with Obama is he made little attempt to address the problem of our national debt, but that aside, I'm all for a return to boring.

But can you imagine how boring your Corona death figures would have been under Obama.
Personally I liked Obama.
I don't think he would have passed off what was going on a simple flu. I would like to believe he would have closed things up sooner.
I believe he would have worked harder to try and fix the problem and actually listened to his Medical Experts and did what they suggested.

Obama would not have gotten rid of Dr. Linda Quick, who was embedded with China's disease control agency until she was informed her position would be discontinued. The Obama NSC pandemic team also developed a "playbook" for attacking a pandemic, which likely would have been more effective than going on twitter downplaying the disease and spreading misinformation about "cures"
@mchill saidWhile the Obama administration certainly could have done more, by the end of the Obama administration the deficit was trending to zero, and with a Clinton administration - likely not enacting massive tax cuts and needless military spending hikes - we would have likely seen a close to balanced budget in 2018.
