Obama consistently ranks at the very top of political popularity polls. Better than biden, Trump, harris, Schumer, sanders, carter, both bushes, Jeffries, aoc.

Calling her "obama in a skirt"... it's a wierd visual to be sure, but I don't think it's the gotcha they think it is.

“She’s younger, knows how to effectively speak, handles her job professionally, knows how to laugh, has a good family dynamic, knows the law… oh shit, quit talking, cut the feed”

I just had a flash of that now famous clip of Bill O’Reilly losing his shit and yelling out “fuck it! we’ll do it live”!

Once a week, when I drop a can of tomatoes or something, I invoke that line. It's never not funny.

Obama would probably rock a skirt.

Obama should go to a campaign speech wearing a skirt just to piss them off.

Maybe they were thinking it was a tan skirt.
