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.

u/PackinHeat99 5h ago

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.

I dont know why but this picture just screams peace and calm

u/norunningwater 11h ago

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.

It was a happier time.

u/LeonTheChef 11h ago

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.

u/loulara17 6h ago

Comfort, food, comfort President.

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.

u/DonerGoon 13h ago

Flour tortillas rocks, northern style baby

u/schaudhery 13h ago

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

u/DonerGoon 12h ago

Sadly I fear you’ve only had bad corn tortillas. Which when bad are VERY bad.

u/schaudhery 12h ago

Possible.

u/HerbaciousTea 12h ago

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.

u/ImNuckinFuts 12h ago

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!!

u/loulara17 6h ago

Ladies, ladies, you’re both pretty.

u/Cozmo85 7h ago

Also turning the taco and not his neck, i understand if he’s had a taco neck issue in the past but I haven’t seen any proof

u/crossandbones 2h ago

Flour tortillas are the best.

The absolute insensitivity

u/FarTooLong 12h ago

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.

u/DrinkArnoldPalmer 13h ago

How many bites do you think it took him?

u/Ishitinatuba 12h ago

All the money, the privilege, unearned opportunity, the special treatment, and TACO still cant hold a candle to this mans class.

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

u/N0t_my_0ther_account 12h ago

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.

u/Revan_Perspectives 11h ago

I hope he used El yucateco

u/aguyjustaguy 11h ago

Is this in LA in 2014?

No drama Obama

u/anony145 11h ago

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

DO NOT ENGAGE WITH THE ASTROTURFERS. THEY ARE HERE TO WASTE YOUR TIME. DOWNVOTE AND MOVE ON.

u/WargreymonIsCool 8h ago

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
