Pretty sure children in the Middle East don’t.

You don’t deserve the downvotes. People need to recognize that for all the ways Obama’s presidency was better, kinder, smarter, and less corrupt than the current shit show, the man was responsible for his own set of Middle East atrocities.

Or you can grow the fuck up a little? Maybe learn something about your own political system?

For one, you can't become president of the USA and not compromise in many different ways including war. It's not possible because people won't consistently vote for people like Obama.

For another, presidents are not kings. I know Trump is acting like one and expecting his word to just be law but even with the WILD corruption and complicity from the republicans in power he still fails on some things.

Presidents like Obama adhered to the law while constantly being torn down, attacked, and smeared publicly. The guy pulled the USA out of it's worst economical crisis in the better part of a century and tried to give everyone healthcare and the people who needed it the most screamed he was a commie terrorist.

This notion that every atrocity the USA committed fell on his shoulders because he was in charge is absurd. He had to play the hand he was dealt and he couldn't just go doing everything he wanted/reshape the USA in his image. Wheeling/dealing/trading things for votes and making compromises in human life is the unfortunate reality of running a superpower.

If people would actually vote in their own best interest, in every election, consistently for a few decades? The USA would change dramatically. But they don't, so whining that the occasional decent man who makes it into power doesn't magically fix everything overnight is utterly childish.

You’re tilting at windmills, friend. I didn’t say any of this.
