Doesn’t matter, he will remain like a blue Reagan to American libs, they will never stop loving him.
Bill Clinton used to be incredibly popular and never got canonized by libs the way the right has canonized Reagan. This is likely because libs, as shitty as they are, still have at least a touch-and-go grasp of reality. I’m optimistic that the shine will come off Obama in a similar way. I don’t think libs will ever view him as bad, but they might view him as not good.
He will have the privilege of being in between two awful presidents (Bush and Trump) and they’ll blame everything on them.
Clinton was between two Bushes and he hasn’t received an indefinite pass on everything.
Libs still love the Clintons.
I don’t see this. I see some libs who love Hillary, but even fewer who will go out of their way to hold up Bill as a Good President. I don’t see anything from the Democratic Party about Bill Clinton that approaches the near-universal reverence Republicans have for Reagan. They’ll defend his record (at least in some areas) if pressed – because that’s what one does with politicians vaguely perceived to be on their side – but they’re willing to be critical of him and by no means is he broadly accepted as a Democratic icon. You don’t see libs calling him the greatest president of all time, for instance.
Their obsession with centrism and reaching across the aisle goes back to Bill, as does their love for “good republicans” with how they talk up Reagan now.
This is all true, but it still doesn’t translate to the type of praise that’s constantly heaped on Reagan.

That’s true but chuds love reagan because they’re religious nutjobs
libs love obama because even though they’re not nutjobs, they still lack critical thinking ability
The latter is a step above the former on the scale of “cerebral effort involved”, but people tend to stay the same, and libs will continue to have a grasp of reality that is significantly more advanced than chuds, but still never advanced enough to go all the way.
