Guys, he was a good president.
I'm not sure if he indeed used a FISA court to wiretap candidate Trump back then. If he did, it would be terrible, of course, but he studied law at Harvard.

And he succeeded despite Putin and other leaders clearly rejecting a black president. There was no love for him from Iran to Russia - and that's a good thing. Those countries are not our friends.
