Politics is an EXCHANGE!!!
I'm one of Obama's biggest supporters and I voted for him in 2008. He did keep a lot of that awful shyt from GW's term going. Like extending wars in Iraq and Afghanistan.
I mean, don't get me wrong, if you take away that, syria, libya, ghadaffi, chelsea manning, and the drone strikes, not to mention the constant finger wagging at black folk to do better while giving others tangibles and looking out for wall street. He's an amazing President. I just think Trump is so bad he's looks so good in comparison more than ever.
Trump is awful and he's possibly doing irrepairable damage to this country. In a way I think Bush was still worse especially in terms of Civil Liberties. The things you mentioned plus the Patriot Act (which Dems and Repubs keep re-authorizing), indefinite detentions, the erosion of Civil Rights, the rise of domestic surveillance (some of these programs Obama actually doubled down on). Torture programs (which the following Admin did not punish any one for) now Torture Queen Gina Haspel is head of the CIA.
fukking W Bush (and in a way the Obama admin by not punishing any of the wrongdoers from the Bush admin), paved the way for Trump.
