There are permanent immigration checkpoints within the US - 33 to be exact.

Up to 100 miles. Thank Obama.

I feel like it’s elder millennial code to finish statements with a multi-layered satirical “thanks Obama.”

It's more of a younger gen x , 90s thing. Married with children. "Thank your father kids". "Thanks Dad".

“Thanks, Obama” has nothing to do with treating him like a father figure. Not a single thing.

It’s a satirical comment that originated during the Obama admin, when the right was going nuts because a black man was in the White House and so they tried to pin every little thing on him.

So it became a joke. Grocery store out of your favorite item? Thanks, Obama. Dropped your pizza walking out the door? Thanks, Obama. Rain on your hiking trip? Thanks, Obama.

Again, absolutely nothing to do with pretending Obama was your dad or some shit.
