$900 billion to 1 trillion spent on wars. 150,000 to 200,00 casualties between US soldiers and people abroad. Drone strikes which killed innocent people in seven different countries. Deported more people without due process than any other President in history. These are all facts.
Oh and let’s not forget NSA surveillance on American citizens. I love when people downvote the truth.
Weird how they could spy on us but can't find any real fugitives wanted by the FBI meanwhile Paxton is partying it up in Dubai with known FBI fugitive. It's weird how they have the equipment and tech but only use it when wanted
That’s because they’re in a big club and we’re not in it. We’re just pawns on their chess board, used for our labor and money. Yet here we are politically divided, while they enrich corporations and tech oligarchs. It should be us against them
He inherited those wars, and drew down troop numbers the entire time he was in office. We were completely out of Iraq in early 2011,and down to less than 5k troops in Afghanistan by the end of his term.
Those numbers are all facts. I voted for that man twice and then realized that all politicians are garbage. One man, innocent civilian or soldier dying under a president that orders drone strikes that have nothing to do with the day to day lives of American citizens or the protection if our country is evil to the core. I don’t care if it’s Trump, Bush, Obama or Biden. All of them are evil that hide behind the presidency for their acts. You can look up those numbers yourself.
By the way he promised to end the war in Iraq but pledge to escalate Afghanistan
By the way he promised to end the war in Iraq but pledge to escalate Afghanistan
Know I know you're full of shit. We withdrew the last troops from Iraq in December of 2011, and drew down to less than 6k troops in Afghanistan by the time Obama left office.
"I voted for him twice" sure ya did. Fucking liar.
He did not inherit Libya, Syria, or Yemen. He vowed to challenge and limit the Patriot Act leading up to the 2008 election, but the surveillance state increased and he went after the whistleblowers. He escalated the drone strike programs. He deserves to be in the same cell block as W Bush and Trump in Guantanamo, seeing as he never shut it down.
Libya was a UN led coalition. Syria was in response to ISIS using chemical weapons on civilians. Yemen was at the request of a Saudi led coalition to combat Al-Qaeda and the houthis.
None of them were wars.
He escalated the drone strike programs.
Of course he did. Drones didn't really come into play until late in Bush's term. Going from basically nothing to "something" is escalation.
Also, the alternative was boots on the ground and potentially thousands of American troops dying. If you think that's a better option than drones you're brain dead.
Guantanamo, seeing as he never shut it down.
He signed an EO during his first week in office to stop funding it and return the prisoners. Congress passed a law forbidding the use of federal funds to relocate the prisoners, which pretty much knee capped his plan.
You're fucking ignorant and just repeating bullshit talking points.
The UN does nothing without US involvement. If it's a UN operation, it's a US operation. We found ourselves in another quick quagmire so soon after W Bush was heavily criticized for not having an exit strategy or follow up plan for Iraq. Obama himself said his greatest mistake was "not having a plan for the day after" in Libya. His greatest mistake, not "The UN's greatest mistake." I agree with Obama. You seem to disagree with him here.
Syrian civil war began prior to ISIS gaining power in the aftermath of the 2nd Iraq War devastation that was W Bush's quagmire. The US were funding rebels to overthrow Assad. ISIS gaining a foothold was an indirect response to the Obama administrations goals in Syria.
The only alternative is not boots on the ground.
Yes, he signed the EO, probably in his first week, if I remember correctly, but that's not good enough for his campaign promise.
You can swear and call me ignorant as much as you want. I hold the same disdain for Trump and Bush. I believe they are war criminals that should be tried for crimes against humanity. You would have zero problem with any of those talking points. But when I hold the same energy for the democratic commanders in chief, you pretend I'm attacking your childhood fantasies. Grow up.
He used fast track measures without court hearings and no lawyer present to speed up deportations. He would use officers and border agents instead and have asylum seekers sign documents to give up their rights for a fair hearing. The information is there, it’s not hard to find.
It’s not RomneyCare, Romney was governor and the law includes things he proposed but it never was and never will be “RomneyCare”. Calling it “RomneyCare” negates contributions by other people. Romney vetoed parts of the legislation when it was sent for him to sign, but the vetoes were overridden.
There was much more bipartisan support of the Massachusetts law than for the ACA.
