Sou um brasileiro e tenho muito orgulho de ser , porém a corrupção no Brasil à mim e à toda essa gigantesca nação nos causa vergonha , mais ainda temos instituições de respeito de moral e ética , e agora após as ações de Sergio Moro creio eu que foi dado um ponta pé inicial para um grande partida e que se DEUS quiser as futuras gerações não sofrerão mais deste mal "cancer " que é nosso sistema . Sou apenas mais um ser humano no mundo só gostaria de deixar ao Senhor Presidente meus parabéns enquanto Homem e Presidente que nosso Senhor Jesus Cristo possa te dar saúde e muita paz é um prazer um dia saber que o senhor pode ler esta mensagem e fizer um breve comentário , sem mais muito obrigado Mister President Barack Obama .

It was my honor to vote for you twice. I've never felt prouder in my life of any president than I am of you. I will miss you till I die. Thank you so much for saving America from the nightmarish hell Bush put it into. We will never forget & will be forever grateful for your class, intelligence, grace, & adorable sense of humor.... a wonderful father & husband, you are a model that all Americans should try to emulate. Thank you so much President Obama. No matter what ANYONE says, you were an excellent President.

Besides the "I'm a victim" beginning, it was an incredibly good speech that even the most skeptical of people to Obama at the time, would have had trouble to find themselves not secretly rooting for him on the inside. It is with that in mind, a great shame that the man's following actions and words didn't continue along the same path.
He went on to consistently preach victimhood and grievance culture, he engaged in selective demonisation against conservatives and certain media outlets, he also revelled in racial baiting and promoting the oppressor vs oppressee, us v them, group vs group mentality. From there an epidemic of identity politics and bitter tribalism has suffocated the public and political discourse, and the more backwards, illogical and divided it has become...
I would say that the Obama revolution has catastrophically failed on delivering it's initial public goals and now we are experiencing the counter-revolution, if I were an optimist I would say that it's coming from people who reject the tribalistic narrative of collectivist identity politics and instead insist on reason, and individualism, but with the far more reactionary and volatile political outlook, and a dose of my own pessimism, I do worry that it's just a case of the other tribe(or side) kicking back.
Hope and change? I see much change but I will struggle to express much hope at this point.
In the words of the narcissist himself "Thanks Obama"-President Obama 2016... -
I wish I was old enough to really know what was going on when he was running. I was old enough to know the basics of the election, but I didn't get to see this

Understand the deeper importance to this... corrupt ideologies, corrupt people and corrupt powers control too much of the world today. We need to overcome and create change! ✊

Understand the importance of what he is saying... that corrupt powers and ideologies control our country. We need to overcome and create change.

His dishonesty toward and betrayal of Americans of every race and religion knows no bounds. A great public speaker only surpassed by his equally racist fascist idol Adolf Hitler. Hitler bombed his hometown and his his Jewish past was hidden to further his goal of one world government. Obama sealed his true past with his first presidential act; disowned, discredited, and murdered anyone with knowledge of his background to further his mission to finish what Hitler started. If you still trust this man you shouldn't trust your own judgement. Its hard to believe someone would lie so casually, consistently; and that everyone we know and love would be fooled in the process. Healthcare, jobs, race relations, and foreign relations have declined steadily under his watch and leadership. I do not hate Democrats, non whites, lgbts, or religious people. I do hate liars, thieves, and elitists like this man who bring everyone I've ever known and loved extremely close to death, loss of freedom, enslavement, global and civil war. Love, patience, and understanding compassion towards all people that you meet in your community will undo the damage and scars. Don't be a fool, don't be misled, don't live your life with unjustified hate.

What has Obama done? Well, before Obama, white people were finally starting to lose all that racist crap filling our heads. RACISM was on the decline, and happily so. Maybe, we could even have said ‘goodbye’ to it permanently. Sadly, Obama changed all that. That’s right!!! NIGGERS can be NIGGERS again!!! And this time, MOST BLACK PEOPLE, will probably be NIGGERS forever. That name is really going to stick now, thanks to Obama, and you might as well get used to it. Every black kid who shoots a little white baby in the head is a nigger, and you might as well get used to it. You can be damned sure white people never forget it. Every black thief and murderer is a nigger, and you might as well get used to it. You can be damned sure white people will never again forget it. Black people sponging off white people are niggers, and you might as well get used to it. You can be damned sure white people will never again forget it. This, and far more than just this, is what black and white people can thank Obama for. Shift the blame all you want. YOU, every one of YOU VOTERS who elected Obama even the FIRST TIME… Well, you can see who is really the blame here, you bastards! YOU who made him president. Hope you enjoy what you did to this country. Our hell has only just started. Believing Trump, or anyone, can save this country is naïve in the extreme.
