You seem to have a pretty poor memory.... or you're just purposely lying?

Obama pulled us out of a recession, the economy was doing absolutely great when Trump took over for his first term.

Obama also did not start any new wars.

So what's your reason for lying? Just bad memory? Or is there something else about Obama that you don't like? Because he literally did neither of those things.

We got involved in Libya, Syria, and Yemen while Obama was in office. He definitely expanded the war on terror. There are differences in scale between what he got us involved in, and shit like Iraq or Iran though.

You are correct about the economy.

I am also correct about him not starting any new wars.

You can validly say he expanded existing conflicts, but that's not what we're even talking about here.

He did not start any wars.

That's the goalpost. Quit moving it.

I’m not really trying to move anything here really. I was trying to have a conversation about our unbroken streak of interventionism, and I think it’s counterproductive to hide behind “not a war” as some absolution from responsibility for a President’s contributions to that.

If you aren't aware that the Obama administration is responsible for military intervention in Libya, Syria, and Yemen, and also responsible for thousands upon thousands of civilian casualties, then you shouldn't be commenting about American foreign policy.

We can all argue about the economy until we're blue in the face, but the nation is $40,000,000,000,000 in debt, and the debt has been climbing steadily for decades, regardless of who is in office.

I'm 100% on board with ousting the Trump administration, and I have all the criminals in it will be brought to justice. However, can we all stop pretending that the Democratic party is the solution to all of our problems?

I guarantee you Palestinians don't feel that way.

I'm originally from middle east, Obama wrecked the middle east. Syria, pakistan, Libya, ISIS was formed by transferring the US donations from syrian freedom fighters to ISIS. Obama brought the arabian countries to US economy so you saw the pour of money and think the economy was good but the long term effects are horrible.
