The examples were to illustrate that even presidents ranked near the very top say and do some pretty objectionable things. Sure, Obama has his flaws, but he never used the US military to forcibly remove large numbers of people from their homes without even the pretense of due process. And he also never stated that he thought that white people are a superior race and deserve to occupy a privileged role in society.
Yeah, I think he's just pretty good. I can understand people who have differing opinions. There is an argument to be made that he's great. There is an argument to be made that he's mediocre or disappointing. There's no argument to be made, however, for "fuck you Obama you piece of shit". And there's also no argument to be made that he's anywhere near as bad as a Republican.
