True! He's up there with him though. The respect Obama had, his articulation, and so much about him was professional. He seemed to care while also being somewhat typical and down to earth. The amount that media expanded and the progression of mentality during Obama years is vast as well. A lot of smaller groups of people could really open up and show that they care and need care like gay people and basically a lot of non-white people. He really expanded America's image of diversity for his presidency. It's a bit more shrunk now but the people are still there.
He really tried. It's hard to not respect that guy and he was a pleasure to listen to deliver speeches.
