Obama has launched more drone strikes than any other Peace-Prize winner in history.

He’s certainly not the most controversial Nobel winner, but his award was embarrassing in the sense that European intelligentsia was congratulating backward America for electing a black President.

You may not agree that this was condescending, but it’s hard to argue that Obama’s legacy is of the peacemaker.

This, of all the things to be critrical of, isnt it (the drone part).

Less invasive, less troops on the ground, more precise strikes than traditional bombings. Things don’t exisr in a vacuums. Drones were a W.

This hints something about you that you think it was him being black and not him not being bush after bush, and being charming.

    To be so unwilling to see nuance, that you morphed my opinion into something completely different than what I said, and assumed I fit in your favourite political punching bag box is a problem.
