I know I'm going to get some nu-/pol/ kiddies saying that this didn't exist because they think the Internet only existed past 2016 but if you look at any boomer blogspots, you'll know what I'm talking about.
PROS: It was way funnier than Trump Derangement Syndrome.

Yeah, Obama Derangement Syndrome was very much a thing back in the day and it was every bit as insane and unhinged as Trump Derangement Syndrome is now.

The difference was that Obama Derangement Syndrome was fairly contained. As long as you avoided Fox News and talk radio, it wasn't really there in the media landscape.

Now, a lot of the unwarranted praise for Obama was grating, but it wasn't really that bad until 2013-2014. Hell, on a certain level, I could see why people were so excited for him in 2009, since this was right after the Bush years and a lot of people in America had this sense of unwarranted optimism at the time.

The American public knew that the situation was horrid in 2009, but there was this sense that things could get better and were about to get better. We were wrong on that one in more ways then we can imagine.

The Snowden NSA leaks, the Trayvon Martin media circus, and the rise of Black Lives Matter did a lot to undo his legacy and undermine any media praise of him.

The Occupy Wall Street protests and the way he handled Libya and Syria during his first term did not help matters either, but those consequences wouldn't be noticed until the latter half of his second term.

As ridiculous as Obama Derangement Syndrome was, I doubt the history books will be kind to Obama in the long run.

I think historians will look back on Obama the same way they do Jimmy Carter. But I think he has a lot more in common with Woodrow Wilson than any other Democratic president.

Obama and Wilson were both college-educated Democrats who were staunch neoliberals (a lot of modern neoliberal ideas can be traced back to Woodrow Wilson) and campaigned on a platform of peace and reform, yet both of these presidents were firm believers in aggressive military interventionism despite their empty platitudes.

Both of them were corporatists as well and both did a lot to worsen race relations in America.

Wilson was more explicitly racist but did a lot less damage since race relations between Blacks and Whites were already bad in the 1900's. He also took a hard stance against immigration and this was part of why he endorsed the Ku Klux Klan on the national level, since the second iteration of the KKK was not only anti-black, but also anti-immigrant, a lot of the anti-Catholic stances of the second KKK was due to this anti-immigration stance.

Obama may have not been an overt racist (at least not to the degree that Woodrow Wilson was) but was firm in his stances on illegal immigration, as seen with his deportation record and all those ICE detainment camps he built along the border.

Obama also did a lot more to harm race relations between Whites and Blacks since there was a strong detente of sorts that lasted throughout the 1990's and 2000's under Clinton and Bush.

Even the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina was not enough to fully destroy that detente, but Obama's divisive rhetoric and the fact that he wasn't the great reformer that the MSM hyped him up as back in 2008-2009 ultimately led to this new downturn in race relations during the latter half of his second term, and the rise of the SJW Left and their Progressive Stack religion only made things worse.
 
I feel like the burning hatred of Obama was pretty justified, but the one thing I always thought was stupid was the idea that he's a Muslim. Sympathetic to Dar-al-Islam? Obviously. But obviously not a Muslim given that he's a faggot.

And, of course, there was the idea that Obama was going to try martial law or some such, which never happened, and the idea he'd destroy the economy through socialism, which never happened.

So basically, I hate him but the apocalyptic predictions never panned out.

Obama was the world's most mediocre president. He'll be a nice benchmark between the presidents who died months into their first term.

Hating Obama is like having a searing hatred of corn flakes. He was bland and kind of shitty, but there's not much else to him.

I hate the cult around Obama and how you can't criticize the man without having screeching progtards scream racism.

TBF though if it wasn't for the media's volcanic asshurt I'd find MAGApedes just as annoying with thier worship of Trump.

Every president I'm old enough to remember has had a contemporary group of dedicated autistics who decry them as the anti-Christ or Hitler incarnate or whatever. We'll always have politically illiterate tards who blame the president for everything wrong in the world, it is what it is, and the nature of the two-party system means it isn't always easy to immediately separate legitimate grievances from retarded shit-slinging (unless you are extremely well-informed and not someone who accepts most everything on their partisan news network of choice at face value, but the loudest people aren't and do).

Most of the Obama Derangement Syndrome sufferers seemed to be the schizo survivalist redneck variety, and while it was pretty funny, I really think the Orange Man Bad radical SJWs literally crying, screaming and claiming honest to god PTSD from election night gives them a run for their money in terms of sheer entertainment value. TDS has just become fucking tiresome lately because we're so immersed in it, but I'm confident that in hindsight it will be considered equally ridiculous.

I wasn't paying attention to politics during the Obama period so this will be interesting. Its funny people seem to get so mad over Trump and Obama even though they are both some of least interesting presidents in history.

I think the derangement was pretty evenly spread during the Obama years. The conspiracy theories about him were sort of an "equal and opposite reaction" the the cult of personality and lionization around him, as in this clip, for example:
Or the messianic preaching:
generations from now, we will be able to look back and tell our children that this was the moment when we began to provide care for the sick and good jobs to the jobless; this was the moment when the rise of the oceans began to slow and our planet began to heal; this was the moment when we ended a war and secured our nation and restored our image as the last, best hope on Earth.
Then as we had the worst recovery in history and droning children became a hobby, it was wild watching the media run interference for the guy. I can see how a boomer would be confused. The entire country became deranged during that period, and I don't think anyone has made it back, yet.

If talking heads just kept going on and on about how corn flakes were the best cereal ever and awarded it a best tasting cereal award, people probably would have stronger opinions though.
But I got a few Technicolor email chains from crazy uncles to see Obama derangement.
There was the "he's going to literally enslave white people", not sure how the logistics we're supposed to work on that one.
There was the "he's a Muslim" which always seemed stupid to me. His actual church was bad enough.
The only slightly decent one was the birth certificate at first, but then it just kept going, and in fact it probably wouldn't have mattered if he had been born in Kenya anyway.

But you had to look for that stuff, the mainstream media wasn't hammering it all day (except fox and the birth cert). So it's not the same as TDS in practice.

I remember the Obama baby balloons flying over all of the Never Obama protests. I remember masked Tea Party soldiers smashing the windows of Starbucks and cracking skulls with bike locks. I remember people being triggered by Obama Hope bumper stickers and decrying them as symbols of hate speech. I remember 90% of the media being anti-Obama and running continuous false stories about him only to retract or correct them days, or even mere hours, later.

Who else remembers all that?
