No. A president not being a power grabbing shit fuck and stuffing the bench isn't that bad. You're mad at Obama because he didn't cheat? That's not it.
American soldiers aren't the only lives. But again you're not being realistic. Obama does not sit there and control every single thing. He's in meeting with experts feeding him advice, numbers and cost. If I told you this mission risks 0 American lives, this one risks dozens. You're literally making the wrong choice risking your soldiers both politically and morally. The why to the fighting is a whole different question that I think is immature to put on Obama solely.
Again, you're angry someone didn't play dirty. Obama was doing what he could to represent a fair decent president so we don't have a Trump and people like you embracing these stupid talking points are what helped bring us here because now people genuinely believe Obama is just as bad as Bush or Trump so what's the difference, why vote, who cares. And that above all is literally the stupidest ever.
Deporter in chief? Please. He didn't have masked dudes kidnapping Americans and deporting them to God knows where, ICE didn't have the budget it has now, people weren't being bussed to other parts of the country or flown places and used as political pawns cause brown people scary or something.
Was the dude perfect? NO. Would I vote for him again? Maybe in the right election. Are you guys being so drastic in your criticism you're allowing no room for actually seeing the situation clearly? Yes, you're being absolutely obtuse and obnoxious.
Lol 100%. Liberals, the left, progressives whatever you wanna call them die because one criticism and folks act like they're basically Hitler or something.
No drone strikes were a method of war that greatly reduces your rate of casualties.
I'm so serious man think about what you're saying and tell me it isn't a Republican talking point. You think Obama is just flying these drones himself? Scouting the missions himself? Calling up a general and asking if they can swing by and drone strike some folks?
There's a whole military apparatus that transcends presidencies and the public/private sector divide of our system.
It was because the tech evolved and the military missions looked different. Go play modern warfare and go look at Ukraine, the technology changed and so did the culture of war.
I think what you call spineless I'd consider being a decent politician in an indecent politician sphere
Obama isn't without criticism but calling him a war criminal is a bit of an eye roll in my opinion. It's usually about the drone warfare stuff and it is a drum the Republicans banged his entire presidency claiming he was drone striking everything possible. The truth is drone tech advanced in his presidency that allowed different missions to take place that removed soldiers from harms way, you'd probably make the same choice. It wasn't even his war, say we should've pulled out sure but look how poorly things are going now that we have. The war crimes he's accused of are dogpoop compared to the human rights issue that exists now. I'm sorry, I don't think it is the greatest things anyone has done but I just find the Obama is a war criminal argument so silly. Our entire government is a war criminal, this dude was not a warmonger nor did he do anything to escalate fighting. How you gonna dump it all on him?
Prosecuting Bush. For what? War crimes again? Our government has been doing war crimes forever. Every single person in that federal government should be charged. But Obama isn't going to arrest Bush because nothing would've come of it and again, on what exactly? Every judge, lawyer and politician wouldn't support that or respect whatever exactly the war crime was. So why pursue that? So redditors and Facebook dads have less shit to throw?
I'm not saying Obama is the best. Absolutely do not try to act like I have to be completely black or white about very complex issues. You will not put that on me.
But acting like Obama is the boogie man is literally because Republicans and the like have sold that messaging. Obama is a mid politician, I don't think he relishes in human suffering but he seems okay with a degree of it. But he was easily better than Trump, Biden, Bush, Clinton, Bush, Reagan, the Nixon baboons, Kennedy and Eisenhower. Carter is the only one who is a better man by a landslide but still not the best politician because he was also "spineless". People only liked Kennedy because he was a liberal who was assassinated. You wanna talk about war crimes? Look up Nixon/Kennedy era.
So yes. Obama is easily without contest best president of my lifetime and over the last 60 or 70 years.
I dislike this comment section. if you swapped all of the words you all are using for the more obvious ones none of this would be okay.
How about we just stop saying mean shit?
Non-white people can be racist too, and if your excuse is that they call everyone this word or you're claiming it isn't derogatory I'd like you to just think about other words people use. Consider those same arguments being used to justify other shit behavior
Do I think it should be a huge punishment? No. But this is definitely uncool
I think the meaning of life is experience. I have a personal belief that is hard to explain because it's obviously going to sound a little wacko but I think since all matter is energy and it seems like there's really only energy I'm convinced everything and everyone is the same thing and I think that thing, lets call it the universe, is just also trying to understand what's going on just like us. So everything from the sun to butterflies to black holes are either some kind of organ or vessel or after effect of the universe trying to understand itself/what is going on but not in a conscious way exactly.
I think we share a universal consciousness and being alive is just peering through a very limited perspective.
But also we're chemically designed to try and not die. Rage against the dying of the light and all.
Regular people don't respect the actual issue at hand(like yourself a little) trying to portray it as relevant or something they can understand is important for scientists to do.
Unfortunately science and the truth are worthless if morons don't understand them.
From the beginning too. remember the deep state bullshit?
They really believe AOC, Ilhan Omar, Rashida Tlaib and the like are the deep state not the born rich New York scum bag who literally befriends everyone powerful
You people are so weird. This is what happened but that's not good enough I don't understand? You're like defending some shitty teenagers. What they did was violent and racist, you just live in such a sensitive society that has made being racist such a specific requirement
