I truly think Obama was not prepared for what being the first black president would mean for our nation. He also, by following the norms, left us unprepared to combat the vilness of Trump and his MAGA movement. I wrote a piece critquting Obama. I do beleive we will see the full impact of his presdiency play out in the next 10 to 16 y years as you suggest. Thanks for reading my work. It means a lot. https://garrickmcfadden.medium.com/my-president-is-black-my-critique-of-barack-obama-bf5fc0b80c6d
