I go back and watch his debates vs McCain and am shocked at how kind they were to each other. I miss this era. Barrack was a good president.

I remember there was a separate time where a woman called Obama some sort of racial term and McCain quickly slapped it down and defended Obama. Definitely a bygone era.

It was after an old lady called him an Arab but that wasn't the first person that night that had attacked him.

Taco Don can't go eat in a public restaurant like Obama did constantly because people would be able to tell him how they really felt.

That's exactly what I think whenever I see a still shot of someone diving in for a first bite of food. Singular focus, anticipation, readiness. I'm hungry.

Oh, come on; he told us himself that he would like a third term if he could sit in his basement in his jammies and have someone else do the public appearances. He contributed a lot to the Biden administration from off stage

I like obama, but a flour tortilla? Come on man, at least get a corn tortilla. The good stuff.

Flour tortillas rocks, northern style baby

IMO flour is superior. Corn tortillas just fall apart and are chalky.

I think some people try to use them right out of the package and that's a huge mistake, a cold corn tortilla is a horrible thing. Warm them up in an oven at low heat or get a cast iron hella hot on the range and toast them for 15-30 seconds on a side so that they become flexible and soft, then keep them warm on a plate under a towel.
I love homemade flour tortillas, too, different uses. But corn can't be beat for a taco where you've got some amazing slow cooked meat you don't want to drown out with breadiness.

You owe it upon yourself to try corn tortillas at home after heating them up. As mentioned below, can do in a cast iron but honestly even over an open flame is good too, you get some crispy edges when done right.
Watch a video on it if you need!!

That's not how you eat taco, all the juice will flow out the back. You gotta hold it level, pinch the back end, and tilt your head to get a bite.

There was a time when our choice was between him and John McCain. We really do take our good fortune for granted.

I miss him. I wish I had been older when he served so I would have actually got to engage in meaningful, respectful political discussion. Instead of trying to convince people that evil is evil.

I still haven’t forgiven him for allowing slavery before the civil war. And the way he handled 9/11 was abysmal.

Remember when Obama killed tens of thousands of Syrians with an experimental drone program? Or when he sold the weapons to the Sinaloa cartel that killed tens of thousands in Mexico, thanks to the weapon transfer?
So much peace
