    Why use Obama? Why use the president constantly smeared as a socialist who is the most liberal president (not saying much) since Carter?

    I mean you have a complete rogues gallery of presidents like reagan ass fucking democracy in Central America, bush starting unnecessary military action in Iraq, bush 2 and cheney faking intelligence to force the country into MORE military action in Iraq, trump assassinating Iranian generals etc.

    But yea make your point with the guy called communist for increasing access to healthcare.

      He was also the first one since Carter who got the Nobel peace prize. Think that’s part of what’s being highlighted here.

        Where he directly called out the contradiction in his acceptance speech. Obama was given that award because of how hard prior republicans threatened the planet.

        Like literally the one example of someone in high ranking US politics getting it. After decades of the liberal element in the states advocating against warmongering.

        So why not make them the example of republican foreign policy…
