The reason this isn’t funny is because Trump droned the shit out of the Middle East as well… why does nobody talk about that? Like this isn’t just an Obama thing, it’s a thing all of our politicians have done since 9/11, including Bush.

If you really cared about our executive branch bombing the Middle East, then maybe you’d advocate for a president who won’t, instead of engaging in these years-old reactionary politics.

Bush did it a few times but Obama was the first to do it on a massive scale so he gets associated with.

Maybe it's unfair since Trump actually ordered more drone strikes but I don't feel bad for him. If he didn't want to be associated with drone strikes he should've actually ended the wars like he said he would.

Yeah! Remember how Obams was supposed to be our anti war guy when he was elected? He voted against the Iraq war as a senator and and ran on that shit for POTUS.

Pepperidge Farm Remembers.

Yep. I remember. I actually had somewhat high hopes for Obama on foreign policy. Such a disappointment.
