Federal agents kept smashing up weed shops in California after we legalized it. He seems awesome by comparison, not because he was awesome. Same with Billy C. We haven’t had an awesome president in my lifetime.

He blew up innocent people with bombs and drones. He tortured people. I’d say he was indeed terrible.
Don’t get me wrong: he was one of the better presidents that we’ve had, but that bar is embarrasingly low.
I believe Obama didn’t have the confidence to disrupt the military industrial complex as it was operating post-GWB. I also think he feared the political repercussions of seeming “weak” on defense, which I think he misperceived. This was perhaps the most serious flaw in his presidency, which was otherwise great in regards to domestic policy
…leading some of the most disastrous dea and fbi raids in US history is good domestic policy?
He was a boring ‘good’, president if you were upper middle class or higher in a fairly conservative job and a white male. That’s about it. Those were the people that could tune out.
People want war criminals who talk good. That’s the bar for the average American.
He extrajudicially killed a US citizen with a drone.
This is the scariest shit I can think of from any modern president. The precedent is terrifying.
The good news the victim was Arab! so at least half of Americans thinks that’s acceptable and as long as we have that it will be acceptable.
