I noticed how you hate one of the most progressive political figure of our time; and what policies do you specifically hate?

To those saying that Obama was a weak leader militarily, need to brush up on current news. Here are some of the top Al-Qaeda and ISIS operatives fallen to US under Obama's directive leadership:

And Trump's first attempt at covert ops with on a grand scale resulted in death of a Navy Seal, a lot of civilian casualties and a strain of relations with one of our big allies in ME, Yemen.
That's just pathetic.

- He was a war hawk

- He imprisoned more whistleblowers than anyone before him

- He deported more Mexicans than anyone before him

- He was soft on the banks and bailed them out while millions of people lost their homes

- Authorized drone attacks that killed thousands of innocent people

There's also the fact that he's a capitalist, and that he is there to make sure that the status quo is maintained. He obviously did not support the elimination of the capitalism and its replacement with socialism.

-Obama is far from War hawk. The guy wanted to close Guantanamo and reduced the US military population in Iraq from over 100.000 to mere 1000's advisors and military security details. The guy didn't start any war and he did a lot to phase out our participation in full fledged wars.

-I love whistleblowers but the peoblem is that in the process of this noble selfless act, some information can get operatives killed if not properly filtered. Chelsea Manning was released after investigations found out that her batch of info didn't compromise NatSec.

-I'll need more info on the Mexicans deportation. Also, I wanna be clear here, no one would be deported with proper documents or if they didn't commit serious crime. I'll leave it at that.

-The thing about Troubled Asset Relief Program (TARP), is that it was created by Bush administration. Also, they hold a lot of US debt.

-When Obama took office, drone program was in its infancy and took quite a while to perfect its accuracy. It is a stain in his legacy, even though now the program is accurate and clinical as ever.

Are you serious about him promoting socialism? One of the reasons Bernie is seen as blasphemous is because he supports socialist ideas and that rings alarms in the American minds. Where are you from?
