Let’s explore this drone strike crap the Republicans sold and everyone bought.
-
The war was on going before he was elected.
-
drone tech advanced and managed to alter how US operated. Few people remember the amount of casualties early in Iraq/Afghanistan. Drone bombing replaced door to door raids that resulted in more soldiers dying.
-
calling the drone strikes illegal is roughly silly. Congress supported their use in military activity, that makes it legal. Failing to hit the right target or hitting the wrong target doesn’t make it illegal, as evil as that sounds. The alternative before targeted drone strikes was carpet bombing.
Comparatively Obama ran the war in the middle east better than any president has handled a conflict in generations there’s literally no arguing that. Should we have been there? Could he have pulled out of the war? Should strategy have been different to reduce innocent casualties? Those are questions you can ask but stating blindly how drone strikes were illegal and making him out to a warmonger is genuinely just not true.
Counter point on either end of Obama, Bush had I think it was 3,000 soldiera die under his command? Trump removed the rule requiring drone strikes to be public records and also has waged several completely illegal wars.
Obama hate is fuckin silly.

Obamas housing rescue created the environment where corporations now own huge chucks of family homes. A majority of the groups that financed/backed the program were private investors and hedge funds. So if the person defaulted, that house became the property of a hedge fund for rental property.

The weak minded always resort to ad hominem argumentum. You could use a good dose of class consciousness and historical materialism to discover your defense of fascists.
