“I think it’s going to require a little bit less navel-gazing and a little less whining and being in fetal positions. And it’s going to require Democrats to just toughen up,” Obama said at the fundraiser

    Well, I’m sure the kids he bombed will be stoked to hear that he really didn’t really want to kill or maim them, it just had to be done. If only he could have had a different option, like, I dunno, not bombing them.

    “Obama made the very obviously intelligent choice of keeping his men out of harms way.”

    By putting them in a pointless war, doing pointless missions? If he wanted them kept safe, he would have pulled them out of there. But he pushed war further instead because it made his friends a lot of money.

    “He managed to recover us from 2008 economic worry and had 8 years of solid economy afterwards.”

    lolwut? We still haven’t recovered from that. Sure, if you count the money that the rich have, the economy looks better, but for the average american, it’s still getting worse every year. All because Obama didn’t want to make his rich friends sad.

    You can keep spinning this monster as a good guy who really tried hard, but all of the evidence is against that. He chose to bomb children. He chose to bail out the rich, while screwing over the poor. He chose to torture innocent people. None of that was forced on him.

      Obama didn’t bomb kids. The military regardless of president has bombed kids. Whole government problem dunno why you point at Obama as the king that’s goofy.

      Wasn’t his war. Military industrial complex is huge. it’s very cute you guys think that gets dismantled in a day of something stupid.

      The economy was genuinely better though. I can say the economy operated better there rather than here and simultaneously know the economy and system do not service the poor or society. Why can’t you?

        Oh, so Obama wasn’t the commander-in-chief? He bears no responsiblity for blowing up people that he admitted he directly told his staff to do?

        It literally was his war. He literally had every opportunity to pull out, but chose to expand the war instead.

        The economy was genuinely not better. Housing, healthcare, education, the gap between the rich and the poor increased under him, while he gave handouts to his rich friends. I can’t say the economy operated better, because I care about more things than the GDP or Stock-Market. I care about how the entire economy works, not just rich-people’s economy.

          You should look up JFK talking to De Gaulle and admitting the CIA is rogue under him. Things will make more sense.
