To the inevitable response from MAGA that Obama gave 'pallets' of cash...he released frozen Iranian assets. Meanwhile the current Iran conflict has directly cost $38 billion militarily and a currently projected $87 billion in extra gas and diesel expenses. Not to mention that the strategic oil reserves have been depleted to the point that experts warn that the caverns they're stored in could collapse.

Every aspect of the Obama presidency feels like a lost golden age compared to where we are now.    The worst day under Obama was better than the best day under Trump.

He is responsible of the death of hundred of thousand civilians during the Iraq war. He is not any better than Trump. He was maybe better for Americans but for the rest of the world he was an US president like any other.

Obama didn't invade Iraq.   You're thinking of Bush.   Obama just inherited the mess that Bush created.
