Fun fact about Obama's presidency:

Obama deported more people than any other president before him.

He also prosecuted more whistle blowers than any president before him.

So, in a way, he kind of did. The irony is that because he's a Democrat, these actions got less notice.

Or he did these things within the bounds of the law and with a bit of empathy?

Except for that time he killed a US citizen with no due process, that seemed a bit outside of the law since there was no trial, no evidence, no court order, no criminal record.
