    I’m not defending him for the things he actually did. He absolutely bailed out billionaires during the financial crisis. Blaming him for breaking up OWS protests is nonsensical though, and your insistence that it was on him can’t really be explained as anything else. There are just so many better criticisms you could have of the man.

      Obama can be blamed for many other things such as record drone striking on innocent civilians and persecuting journalists exposing his empire’s war crimes.

      But most impactful of all was his saving of the American billionaire elites which are the crux of all this suffering.

        I didn’t even deny that bestie, I called you out for saying he brutally suppressed OWS protests. That’s a complete fabrication. I called you racist when you tried to imply that Trump is less at fault for straight up fascism than Obama was for milquetoast neoliberalism.

          Yeah, it’s been pretty clear who has directly and intentionally caused more instability and human rights violations. Geneva just wants to keep hating on 'Bama. They may feel stuck in the past, idk.
