They had major chances to implement left wing policy during Obama's 8 year presidency, but they gave you a right wing healthcare plan courtesy of Mitt Romney (without the public option). He bailed out the banks and kicked 5.2 million families out on the street. He dropped a record number of bombs, used drones more than anyone else.
They only had both houses and a balanced supreme court for two of those eight years, and getting the affordable care act, flawed as it is, across the line used up a lot of that.
I'm going to call massive bullshit on that one bud. The racist rapist with 34 felonies had more drone strikes in four years than Obama did in 8 years. Piss off with your bullshit.
Source for that? It's quite an open truth that Obama was a leading murderer. Not that every other US president since ww2 also would hang if they were put to the same standard as at the Nuremberg trails.
Maybe 5 seconds of interwebs searching
https://www.cfr.org/blog/obamas-final-drone-strike-data Obama still holds the record. Both are murderers at least we can agree on that.
Except Trump changed the reporting laws and a bunch of his aren't reported, and your data is "estimated". I'm going with the rapist with 34 felonies has more since that's where the proof is.
Well the end results is of course exact for Obama but sure cheer on team go go
No, I really don't think so. I'm sorry your bullshit doesn't add up.
Fine, I forgot the words 'before him'. I did, however try to find the final numbers (all four years). That was not easy. If you find them, let me know.
You won't find them. After the rapist with 34 felonies passed up Obama, he changed the rules of reporting so we don't get know just how much worse he was....After he said he wasn't going to use them at all.
