The problem is it didn't work very well for his party.
You had a thousand Democrats in the course of his eight years in office who lost who lost their elections.
largely because of the weight that he was on the party.
And then, of course, you look at this week, last couple of weeks, you know, he promised to fix health care.
Health care is a bigger disaster than, I mean, not that it was in great shakes when he passed Obamacare, but it isn't any better now.
And then you have last week where you have the Trump administration completely reverse what I would argue is the greatest disaster
power grab government power grab in government history the idea that somehow federal bureaucrats are allowed to regulate what we exhale carbon dioxide suddenly the government gets to regulate that and the Trump administration with the help from the Supreme Court that said this is insane comes and reverses that his legacy is getting absolutely shredded and I so I take it as like he's maybe kind of stepping out
to kind of start maybe to defend himself a little bit, almost like he wants to be the cool guy again.
I want to touch on health care quickly because Charlie brought it up.
I do think that the health care system before the Affordable Care Act was hot garbage.
I remember being in college and being kicked off my mom's health insurance because the health care companies are like, oh, you're too old, but you're not working, but you don't get health care.
I also remember the time where if you had a baby and you're a woman, that was a pre-existing condition.
Thanks to the Affordable Care Act, that's not the case.
Now, with this interviewβand I got a chance to listen to all of itβI thought it would be very interesting, because I do think he talks about how there needs to be a generational shift in the party.
And it's worth pointing out that when Barack Obama came on the scene in 2006, he was that generational shift.
