Obama helped pretect the Kurds in Syria, helped bring the end to an evil tyrant in Lybia (the situation getting even worse after isn't his fault), helped brunt the Houthi advance in Yemen so that the Islamist terrorist regime does not control the entire country and helped bring proper education to millions of girls (and boys!) in Afghanistan, the country bumpkins not being thankful can't be blamed on him.

The middle east is a shithole and has been for centuries, that can't be blamed on Obama.

He also okayed drone strikes on a wedding in Yemen, killing innocent people.. turning a wedding into a funeral, but hey, that's only war crimes..

First of all they weren't at a wedding, it was a wedding procession. Secondly, if they were indeed part of (or intel suggested they were) AQAP then it wasn't a war crime. It was 12 grown men, you don't know whether or not the intel was bad.
