A quick web search also shows Obama talking to the Nobel committee how crazy this shit is. The guy was elected and then had to steer bush’s shit out of the ditch.

Saying he’s less than perfect is so fucking stupid…

That's completely different than acknowledging his fucking war crimes

I literally said he literally acknowledge just that. Like fucking keep up.

At the time he was responsible for the most drone strikes for any president (obviously this record was broken by the next admin). There's also a famous one where they struck a wedding in Yemen. You could argue not closing gitmo would be perpetuating existing war crimes when it was a campaign promise.

There was also the whole over-throw of Libya thing.

The state of this country is really bad when we pine for the days of any modern president honestly. It's been a gradual downhill slide since I was born in the '80s but we've definitely started picking up momentum as we roll down the hill. Rock bottom has got to be somewhere down here, surely.
