imagine being half-white but everyone treating you as black, imagine being obstructed in every law you try to enact, imagine being stonewalled in everything you do, imagine having to act the act or be impeached because once again, you are treated as black. Obama didn't just have to do what he did, he was forced to or congress would filibuster/obstruct him. If he could have done half the things he wanted to we wouldn't have been in iraq in the first place. Imagine if I punched someone in the face and then shoved you in front of me to end the fight. Imagine if I shot a innocent bystander and then urged you to get him first aid (oh and then torture him) that was Obama's burden. You guys equating him with bush is moronic and takes a simpleton to not figure this out. Funnily enough he was the only one with the balls to get Bin-Laden, which was the only thing we needed to do not nation build like that moron bush wanted. Face it, Obama was great compared to his predecessors. (you wont, youre hatred of him wont allow it)

Stonewalled? He got a lot of support for blowing up innocent people. He wasn't forced to do any of it, he was proud of it. If he wanted us out of Iraq, why didn't he at least try? He had every opportunity to pull out, but proudly decided that more war was a good idea. At no point was congress forcing his hand in that.

"you wont, youre hatred of him wont allow it"

You are correct. My hatred of someone who bombed innocent people, screwed over the poor and working class, and expanded torture programs won't allow me to say that he was a great president. If he wanted to be remembered as a great president, then maybe he shouldn't have done those afwul, evil things.

should he be ashamed of blowing away bin-laden, pie?

[–] piefood@feddit.online 1 points 7 months ago (1 children)

Nah, I don't think so. I personally would rather that they arrested Bin Laden, and tried him in international courts, but I don't see a problem with Obama killing him.

[–] tiny_iota@endlesstalk.org 1 points 7 months ago

i agree, but I do believe if obama had tried him in court the public would have harangued him. like most things he did or tried to do. Once again this is a racist country you cant even get away with being half white
