Barack Obama

About

Barack Obama is the 44th President of the United States, serving two terms from 2009 to 2017, and remains an active voice in Democratic politics after leaving office. On No Agenda, the hosts most often invoke him in foreign-policy contexts: the Ukraine/NATO-expansion buildup during his second term, the 2012 Benghazi attack and the "it was a video" messaging, and especially the Iran nuclear deal (JCPOA), which they treat as a recurring reference point whenever Trump-era Iran negotiations come up. More recently the hosts have flagged Obama's post-presidency public statements—including his reaction to a White House Correspondents' Dinner shooting incident—and his appearances alongside figures the show frames as the "liberal world order."

• "it feels like Obama was caught off guard"
