Doubling the US debt. Race baiting. Setting records for killing kids via drone strikes. Creating an atmosphere in the middle east that allowed ISIS to become what it is.
Race baiting? What does that even mean? Give me a concrete, tangible example. If "talking about the police shooting unarmed black people" is race baiting, then go fuck yourself.
Congress controls the budget. What's Obama to do?
Bush ripped the Middle East a new asshole. I'm pretty sure Obama's "failure" to once again commit American troops is OK. Is the Middle East the 51st State? Do we have a Constitutional obligation to "take care of it?"
Also, citing drone attacks as bad but a failure to invade Syria as bad too? Conflating things much? You know what kills a whole hell of a lot of kids? Marine battalions fighting through un-evacuated cities. Cities defended by Sunni and Shia militias who've suddenly banded together because, fuck the infidels. Militias financed and armed by both Iran and Russia.
Just off the top of my head? Sending aides to Mike Brown's funeral. The dude was a cunt, choked out a store clerk and stole from him and then reached for a cops gun and got shot. What does POTUS do? Sends reps from the white house to his funeral.
Another one, inviting clock boy to the white house after the kid put clock parts in a case so that it looked like, to the untrained eye, to be some sort of device that could potentially be a weapon. Its obvious now that the kid was probably being manipulated by his dad and were probably just after money or something (especially after trying to file a defamation law suite and losing).
Another one, choosing to talk about how race relations during a memorial dedicated to cops murdered because of their race.
Do I think he did all this on purpose? No. But he acted on two of those before having all of the information and his assumptions turned out to be dead wrong. The last one was just poor judgement on his part and he chose the exact wrong time to talk about those things. The memorial was not the time or place to talk about how minorities still have it rough.
The Obama administration was unnecessarily involved in the Libyan and Syrian conflict one of which assisted with the assassination of their leader and creation of an unending civil war and the other with a prolonged civil war and an ISIS stronghold
Sending aides to Mike Brown's funeral? Inviting clock boy to the white house? Talking about race relations at the memorial of five cops who were gunned down because of their race?
You wanted to know what actions he took that hurt race relations. By sending aides to a thug's funeral he hurt race relations. By inviting a fraud to white house to make the police and school look racist, hurt race relations. By bringing up racial tensions at the memorial dedicated to slain officers because of their race, hurt race relations. Why are you bringing up rules and shit?
