The notion isnt that he’s “one of the better ones” but that he was “one of the GOOD ones”. And while those presidents may not have faced any true consequences for their crimes, they are all largely controversial figures with some of them being absolutely despised. Not even remotely comparable to Obama’s reputation, and he arguably killed more innocent people than any of them.
Genuinely curious what you think Obama even did that makes him better than these other guys. Go ahead and explain yourself…
I’d call the ACA a huge improvement. Still sucks, but far and above better than what was there before.
Repealed dont ask, dont tell.
Public endorsement of same sex marriage that had a clear impact on federal policies.
The creation of the CFPB.
Reopening embassies with Cuba and working to restore relations with Cuba.
Numerous clean energy initiatives.
DACA.
Now in my opinion none of these go far enough, but I’d be lying to not call them a positive step.
Do you want me to also list what I hate about the Obama admin? May as well. I’ll skip my criticisms of the above since ive already kind of noted that. As well as the drone strikes, which ive already commented on.
Ending the ban on oil/gas drilling
The priority enforcement program being launched and the expansion of state surveillance.
renewal of the patriot act (and expansion of state surveillance)
The handling of Iraq.
Authorization of CIA/Pentagon programs to intervene in other countries.
Abstention from UN resolutions on Israeli “settlers” (ugh). Technically his admin, but let’s be candid, thats a directive from above
Arms deals with Saudi Arabia (later pulled, but I have a problem with the attempt)
Thats off the top. Out of curiosity, do you think I have an overall positive or negative view of his presidency?
Recognizing gay marriage at home, while you obliterate and incinerate queer people across the world. The liberal special.
Your perspective isn’t negative enough for me. Obama is a war criminal and I will refrain from writing what I think should be done to him. You can use your imagination.
