Did Obama permanently damage the USA?

I can’t ever remember people, celebrities civilians or other government employees, being so outspoken about the president. Sure I remember talking with friends about how bad Bush was for bringing us to war with the Middle East, but to have every aspect of news and news related articles be about has never been done before. Is it the overwhelming easy access to make your voice heard through the use of social media? I don’t seem to recall any large scale backlash of anything the president did when Obama was in office. But now society seems to be changing into this nasty offended by everything creature who wants to change our history and genetics. Men pretending to be women so they can win a race or beat them in an MMA match, or looking like a man and talking like a man then getting pissed off when some kid calls you sir. Did the Obama administration open the floodgates to not allowing people to joke around anymore? To be offended by anything and everything?
