    Libya was his biggest mistake. The mildly redeeming thing about it is that he admits that and that his intention wasn’t bad.

    You compare that to the current leadership of the USA and it suddenly seems a lot less bad.

      And, of course, less bad automatically means good. I only lost a toe instead of a leg, I should be happy and stop wishing I hadn’t lost anything!

        Ultimately you’ll have to accept that people are people. If you’d randomly pick a person and put them in the oval office with the US army under their command they’d fuck some shit up. Particularly with all the outside pressure from different interest groups.

        I’m not telling you to be grateful for Obama. Hate him, criticize him. Just be aware that he was probably in the top percentile of world leaders. You go ahead and roll your dice. Surely Shitface McAssclown will be a better leader.

        I’m going to force feed you your next meal.

        Would you like a bowl of shit?

        Or would you prefer a bowl of rusty, red-hot nails covered in arsenic?

        Oh silly me, you probably consider them the same.

          I know liberals hate being told they are being served shit while they are lapping it up in fear they will lose their bowl of shit if they speak out against it being shit
