And the Obamas get more grace than they deserve

Edit: Looks like a lot of people here are cool with unconstitutional domestic surveillance, illegally murdering people with no trial in countries we aren't at war with, doing literally nothing while the first spark of American fascism stole a Supreme Court seat from him, and prosecuting and punishing the fuck out of whistle blowers.

You guys all think Bush is cool now too because he shared candy with Michelle Obama and paints shitty portraits? Clown ass DNC intern blue MAGA garbage

Just because I don't like Obama doesn't mean I'm a right winger. I find your knee jerk reaction to my comment to be very cult like. Sorta like MAGA.

Not as cold as killing brown children with drones after little to no public transparency or oversight. But Obama was so good though!

I agree with you on that

Stupidity is bowing down before an ex-president and pretending like he can’t be criticized. Obama did bad shit, why do liberals feel the need to be blind about it?

The deporter in chief, the guy who drone bombed children, who gave up on his promises of universal healthcare, does not need your defense.

Again. Keep the stupid on the inside.

I understand you don't like the facts, but they're facts all the same. You liking him doesn't make him a good person. He killed kids, gave ICE more power, and expanded the great war on terror that killed millions of people.
