Crooked believes that we need a better conversation about politics, culture, and the world around us-one that doesn’t just focus on what’s broken, but what we can do to fix it. At a time when it’s increasingly easy to feel cynical or hopeless, former Obama staffers Jon Favreau, Jon Lovett, and Tommy Vietor have created a place where people can have sane conversations that inform, entertain, and inspire action. In 2017 they started Crooked with Pod Save America-a no-bullshit conversation about politics. Since then, we continue to add shows, voices, and opportunities for activism, because it’s up to all of us to do our part to build a better world. That’s it. End of mission.

I miss the feeling of security I get when listening to fmr president Obama. We need an intelligent, caring human to run our country in the future. There’s so much more to be done to repair the damage caused by tfg. President Biden has done a good job, but there’s so much more to do. We have to vote in a Democratic leader in the midterms, and in 2024, or we will lose our country to fascism.

You've lost your mind if you think Obama left a great economy.

He spent his entire presidency doing his best to pass the TPP a document that removes national sovereignty and creates an international corporate hegemony.

PROBLEM with Obama's narrative is, he knows the Democrats are mostly crooked, and its every man for himself. Sure democracy is good, freedom is good, but only if the people in it especially the leadership are good and are people with integrity! Otherwise what you get is a big bunch of self serving individuals justifying whatever they hope to get from their leadership appointments. And this is also why Republicans despite not as focused on liberty and freedom tend to do better as leaders. Because leadership in the Republican's view is a communal drive and less self centered. You don't have individual LGBTFQs coming out to defend their non-binary positions against a common enemy that denounced non-binary people, and you don't have individual migrant relatives and muslims coming out against a common enemy that denounces their illegal status and propensity to kill others in the name of a purported religion. Freedom and Liberty only works when you have an authority that constantly looks down and snuffs out anyone who exerts their own individual rights that is at the expense of others. And Obama does not possess the required integrity and/or moral uprightness and/or power and/or authority to lead them. Vote Republican because its better to have a circus trainer in the circus tent than just opening all the cages of the tigers and lions, including the alpha lion in the name of Freedom and Liberty, the former you have a person with duty and oversight, the latter you have absolute chaos.

My father was a lifelong Republican who grew up in Texas and came from a traditionally conservative family. He read Obama's book when he was in his late 60's before that first presidential election and voted Democrat for the first time ever. And he voted for Obama again before he passed away. He felt that Obama was more in touch with what really mattered to Americans. I wish more people would approach politics the way he did. I learned a lot from my dad about having an open mind.

@@chansetwo For most voters in America I think political affiliation was secondary to ideology which wasn't a forced set of variables that lined up on either side of a defined line between red or blue. While each party certainly had it's fanatics, it didn't permeate our daily lives the way it seems to now. Politics now is used mostly as a social media tool for "engagement" that's measured in clicks per minute. It's a market that's designed to get users angry, then provide comfort among, what they want you to believe, are like minded individuals. The next thing you know, you think Democrats are mutilating kids in children's hospitals. So there used to be a level of respect I think on the part of politicians, to know that we don't want this in our faces every minute of every day. They knew it wasn't good for us, it wasn't good for them and it wasn't good for America. But desperation does strange things to people who don't have the fortitude or servitude to hold public office. Primaries used to weed them out.

Democrats are hell-bent on changing the American government away from individual freedom and states rights, to federal government control. Democrats cannot win on their own platform whatever the hell that is, so They want to stack the Supreme Court, they want to ruin the electoral college system, they are currently destroying our fossil fuel industry, they want to add a couple of more states.

Or the fact that nearly 50% of the people who voted for him in 2008 didn’t vote for him again in 2012, and as recently as 2017 an independent poll with a large sample size, showed that 74% of voters who voted for him in 2008 (me being one of them) said that they regretted it and felt manipulated and cheated by the campaign promises that he not only did not keep, but went radically in the opposite direction from (end the wars in Iraq/Afghanistan and bring the troops home, instead he escalated them and in his first term alone, indiscriminately murdered more innocent civilians, women and children with just drone bombings, than Bush did in 8 years total; he was going to restore the rule of law, end mass surveillance of all US citizens, and repeal the sections of the “Patriot act” that allowed it to take place….instead he increased the budget of the NSA, massively expanded the cooperation with foreign governments to assist them in surveilling their citizens, in exchange for them taking up some slack and keeping heat off his administration, by doing the surveillance of Americans here 🤔 Ahem… Bill Ayers, the convicted Weather Underground domestic terrorist who orchestrated the bombing of the Capital and the Pentagon in the 1970s, who was also close friends with Obama, got him started as a “community organizer” ran his early local campaigns, and advised him during the 2008 campaign 🤔 You know nothing about “class, decency, integrity, morals” and CLEARLY you know even less about what is going on within your own government or the borders of your own country!!! This guy is the most corrupt president to ever hold the office!!

PROBLEM with Obama's narrative is, he knows the Democrats are mostly crooked, and its every man for himself. Sure democracy is good, freedom is good, but only if the people in it especially the leadership are good and are people with integrity! Otherwise what you get is a big bunch of self serving individuals justifying whatever they hope to get from their leadership appointments. And this is also why Republicans despite not as focused on liberty and freedom tend to do better as leaders. Because leadership in the Republican's view is a communal drive and less self centered. You don't have individual LGBTFQs coming out to defend their non-binary positions against a common enemy that denounced non-binary people, and you don't have individual migrant relatives and muslims coming out against a common enemy that denounces their illegal status and propensity to kill others in the name of a purported religion. Freedom and Liberty only works when you have an authority that constantly looks down and snuffs out anyone who exerts their own individual rights that is at the expense of others. And Obama does not possess the required integrity and/or moral uprightness and/or power and/or authority to lead them. Vote Republican because its better to have a circus trainer in the circus tent than just opening all the cages of the tigers and lions, including the alpha lion in the name of Freedom and Liberty, the former you have a person with duty and oversight, the latter you have absolute chaos.

I could just listen to Obama talk for ever and ever and ever. It's not so much the topics they're talking about (although those are interesting too), but the WAY in which Obama conducts himself and reacts. He has such grace, eloquence, class and empathy. You'll see it again and again when someone poses him with a question that COULD be taken to the dark side, he swerves the temptation for negativity and re-alters the track onto a more productive and positive side. His charisma and emotional intelligence just oozes. Trump is literally the exact opposite in every respect.

@@cl8804 do you think you're saying something meaningful here? because you're not. it has never yet been the case that 100% of democrats support abortion rights. democrats from places where other people support abortion rights support abortion rights. democrats from right wing hell holes often do not, because democrats from right wing hell holes who do support abortion rights generally lose to republicans. president obama correctly understood that while there was a tenuous, and for most of the year theoretical, democratic majority, there was never a pro-choice majority, and therefore the legislation could not pass.

Me for one! Let me ask you this... are you not smart enough to see him talk circles, promote socialism, which cannot come without violence? Can you not see his lies? How about Tulsis Gabbard bailing from the Dems because during his presidency he didn't speak to her, or the middle class, and hell I only made it 13:00! How about former W.H. Press Secrtary calling out Dems, like Pelosi on Meet the Press? How about Candace Owens new documentary debunking BLM and them collecting $80 million in just one taxable year... where the hell did that money go? It didn't go to help the masses or the commniity! Obama contradicted himself in less than 13 minutes! Clinton was the Poster Child who started this mess and Obama felt the need to out do Billy boy and now we have Biden who has done nothing but destroyed this country with high inflation, record number of illegal immigration, bailing on our own people in Afgahstan not to mention leaving billions behind in military hardware, destroyed our energy sector, giving nearly $100 billion to Ukraine which unless Biden de-escalates things, it will result in Putin using nucs! I eft the party in 1992 under Clinton like Tulsi did and I sure in the hell hope Obama reviews these comments as like Tulsi and so many others, he bailed on us! Obama created the biggest racial divde since the days of salvery! And I truly thought it could get worse than Clinton. Then along came Obama with his false promises and lies. Then just when I thought Obama will go down in history as the worst president in history, along comes Biden to out do Obama! I would bet the majority of those commenting here are young people who are still ignorant and confused. That is what they {the Obamas of gov't do] target the young people and brainwash you into believing this and his {Obama's] B.S! He is probably colse to being a billionaire by now if he is not already off of the backs and pockets of the middle class!

@@Max_Mustermann I feel this. I’m still registered as an independent as I have been primarily centrist for most of my life and would vote for whichever politician’s policies made the most sense to me, regardless of party. But from the early 2000s on out, it became increasingly harder to find anyone on the right to side with as they started to support candidate after candidate whose platforms purpose seems to be just to keep their base inflamed, angry and misinformed. My dad is retired military and a lifetime Republican. He sat out the election of 2016 because he knew DJT was a great danger to our country and could not, in good faith, support him. In 2020 he voted for democrat in the presidential race for the first time in his life. He said he felt it important and imperative to our democracy that DJT not have a second term. This week my dad called me and asked if I remembered to mail in my ballot. He has NEVER done this before. He then added that he just voted democrat down the line saying he felt it was too dangerous to give the right any positions of power at this point in time seeing how so many are actively attempting to undermine the democratic process. The loudest and most followed people on the right are way beyond the right of the 90s. And if they continue to be supported by their caucus, they will be responsible for driving the Republican Party into the ground
