   Seeing what the US is going through, I think it requires a president like Obama. Obama was the one uniting force in the US. People felt more comfortable under his presidency. What do you think?

      Obama a uniting force for the US?  You have got to be kidding - the only people he united was the rest of the world wanting money from us and wanting to denigrate the US.  He was absolutely great at running down the country at every opportunity.

         At least he didn't said to treat coronavirus virus through sunlight and injecting disinfectant into people. He was a far better president. He acted like one in situations. he took down laden. he stopped the erupting war between isreal and iran.

            Neither did Trump despite the claims that he did.  A better president, perhaps, depending on what you term as "better".  Certainly he did far more damage to the country, it's reputation and it's people than Trump: Trump has produced the best economy and job picture that we've seen in decades.
            
            But if your definition of "better" is a statesman that talks pretty and capitulates to the demands of other countries at the expense of the US, Obama is definitely your man.  If it means a president that apologizes for being great, for having the best standard of living in the world, Obama is certainly superior, for Trump has failed miserably in those things.  Thank goodness; we had enough of it under the man that produced the biggest financial boondoggle the world has ever seen.

               Yeah thats because Trump sees business before civil rights and business behind everything. Countries as big as the US flourish under charismatic leadership. Lincoln wasn't a businessman. He was a statesman. And whenever there's a downfall, a statesman reunites the nation. US business is no good at this situation. The country needs a uniting force not dividing walls.

                  Absolutely; the end of any and all respect for Nobel prizes in general and particularly the peace prize.  That was the point it became purely political rather than real.

                     You can't blame the entire world to prove Obama wrong. The greatest people of the world won the Nobel prize. You can't overlook them and their work. You can't label the prize as some political reward.

                        No, but I can most definitely poke at the Nobel Prize people that put politics above reality.  That put a charlatan above those that actually did something to promote peace, all in the name of politics.
                        
                        And yes, I most certainly can label the Nobel peace prize as some political reward.  Those that made the choice to turn it into that did so, not I, but that does not mean I cannot recognize their actions for what they were.

                           I wonder people are really thinking about saving the economy right now. saving humanity must come first. Even if it cost some billions of dollars. Trump should try to unite the nation. And by uniting the nation, it means making people feel comfortable regardless of their race. That's what the country wants rn.

      Compared with the current occupant, Obama was a far better example of leadership and national purpose, hands down.

         Yes he was.  The only question is where he was "leading" the country, and the only possible answer was to the slaughtering house for the rest of the world to take a chunk off of us.

            That is your opinion, all right wingers tend to see it the same way. But, obviously that myopic view is not held by all of us.
            
            Trump is just a posturing phony clown that talks tough and delivers nothing as any cowardly bully would. But he is your man and that is OK. But, I will resist him and all he stands for with the very fiber of my being.

               As you say, an opinion that others disagree with.
               
               Just as the "delivers nothing" by Trump - you may believe Obama delivered a great deal while Trump delivered nothing, but others, looking at the results in the nation, will disagree.
               
               Either way, though, the idea that Obama "united" the people of the US while Trump is "dividing" them is ridiculous.  The only thing Obama "united" was his own political party; anyone not on board with his notion of the US being a terrible nation, requiring much apologizing and kow-towing, was certainly not "united" any more than left wingers are being united with Trump's agenda of MAGA.

            He ended war in iraq. Saved lives of many American soldiers.

               Sure enough - that's why we still have soldiers dying in the middle East.  Because Obama ended the wars there.

         People felt comfortable. Atleast people knew they had a leadership in the whitehouse not chaos all over the country.

      I was a Democrat until the second term of Obama. By his second term, many in the country were dissatisfied to watch the country flounder, and the great division was born. And then the Dem's ran Hillary Clinton. That was the final weight that produced the huge crack, the deep divide.   As a rule, I am very wordy with my responses, I need not be responding to your question. So, when you say people felt more comfortable under Obama, think twice, not all people... He was the biggest reason  I became a Republican, and why Trump actually won.
      
      If all were so comfortable with the way things were going in the country, how in the world did the Dem's hand over the presidency to Trump? You might want to ponder that.
