Crazy, isn't it?

During his presidency, Obama approved the use of 563 drone strikes that killed approximately 3,797 people. In fact, Obama authorized 54 drone strikes alone in Pakistan during his first year in office. One of the first CIA drone strikes under President Obama was at a funeral, murdering as many as 41 Pakistani civilians. The following year, Obama led 128 CIA drone strikes in Pakistan that killed at least 89 civilians.

It’s a common liberal take on Obama.

Cheeto man = loud, uncouth, vulgar.

Your Excellency, Barack The Obama: classy, polite, trivial controversies, last ‘boring’ president

It's pointing out hypocrisy. But people have forgotten that or are just ignorant? I can't see how you'd come to that conclusion unless you were very "both sides".

I'm a level seven enlightened centrist. I wait in line at polling stations just so I can fill out a blank ballot.
