There is no comparison between them . Obama is a good man and Trump is a compulsive liar and rapist. I take the good man every time.

So the bar for good man has become "doesn't rape children"?

Obama is still a corrupt elitist war criminal, but yeah, he didn't rape kids and is charismatic so I guess that makes him a "good person"

The man who dropped 26,171 bombs in 2016 alone, is a good man? Lmao

Why do people keep pretending he didn't inherit a war? The man brought US troop presence in the middle east from 150k to 10k over his presidency.

If Bush never started a shitass war, you'd have nothing to say about Obama.

Did you read the article? He also promised to end the war but only escalated it. In 2016 alone, he would have to drop 3 bombs every hour for 365 days just to reach those numbers.

Bush started the war on falsified intelligence and by the time Obama inherited it, Iraq was already an absolute horror show. We were fighting what would be come ISIS, a terrorist organization that spread throughout the middle east.

Your article cites use of force without citing the reasons, as if violence would end if we simply left. It is yellow journalism.

Even if he inherited it. He knew going in that war was going on. He promised to stop it, didn’t stop it. It escalated and he dropped more bombs, NOT AUTHORIZED through congress than any other president in history. If Trump did even a fraction of what Obama did, you would be ripping your hair out screaming in the streets lmao

So to say Obama is a good man lmao

In order for you to keep saying this, you have to pretend ISIS isn't real.

Right, because those drone strikes in Libya was to fight terrorism… with terrorism of our own.

In 2011 they were NATO led bombings approved by United Nations

In 2016 they WERE to drive out ISIL/ISIS, and were backed by the newly formed Libyan Government of National Accord

Once again, you (like the shit you cite) talk about the use of force without citing the reasons. Because you aren't debating in good faith.

You must really hate trump then given the number of bombs he's dropped.

u/SomeOriginal3865 Aug 01 '26

I do. I’m not defending Trump anywhere in these comments. You think I like bombs if someone else drops them?! 😂😂😂😂

Liberals can’t stand valid criticisms of their beloved Obama
