Obama is easily the best President in my lifetime.

You couldn't answer what made him so awesome, so you copied and pasted a bunch of shit! Because that is all that is, a bunch of shit!

Yeah, those illegal drone strikes in Pakistan were awesome indeed! Were you not as impressed with the drone strikes in Somalia and Yemen? Why leave them out? 563 strikes to Bush's 57 - that's 10X the awesomeness of Bush!!

War in Afghanistan made Obama awesome? Really?
Patriot Act extension, awesome!
Every Student Succeeds Act, awesome, just look around!

So other than copy&pasted bullshit, you had no real answer as to what "easily" made him "the best President in (your) lifetime". Okay.

You were going to argue childishly with anything I focused on so, yeah, I copied and pasted all his legislative achievements, because, frankly, he was the last President we had who actually worked hard at the job if nothing else.

You don't really know what I was going to do, do you? There's this thing called Schrödinger's cat.

I genuinely wanted to know what you were so impressed with? I voted for him and was greatly disappointed when within the first 6 months he managed to break every campaign promise he made and ran on. Mind you, I lived in SF at the time, and while in and after university, I was first class private libtard on the front lines with other c**ts protesting and opposing everything Bush and his administration stood for.

Obama was for 'change', getting us out of wars, closing Guantanamo, and promised transparency, but the only 'change' we've seen was him 'changing' his tune once elected. Committed us to more of the same and on much larger scale, and became more secretive than Bush ever was. Guy was full of shit man.

I was giving him way too much credit for his copy&paste capabilities - somehow trade agreement got mixed up with wars.

"if you like your doctor, you can keep your doctor" HA don't forget, over $600m spent on a shitty website that didn't work - daylight robbery!
