    Oh, so Obama wasn’t the commander-in-chief? He bears no responsiblity for blowing up people that he admitted he directly told his staff to do?

    It literally was his war. He literally had every opportunity to pull out, but chose to expand the war instead.

    The economy was genuinely not better. Housing, healthcare, education, the gap between the rich and the poor increased under him, while he gave handouts to his rich friends. I can’t say the economy operated better, because I care about more things than the GDP or Stock-Market. I care about how the entire economy works, not just rich-people’s economy.

      You should look up JFK talking to De Gaulle and admitting the CIA is rogue under him. Things will make more sense.

        Then Obama should have come out and said “Hey these guys are making us continue fighting in wars that I don’t want us to be in”. Instead he joked about killing people.
