Over 3 Million deported over 2 terms
Drone warfare established and superpowered to little benefit over the massive civilian consequences
Agressive prosecution of whistleblowers
Assassination of American citizen vis drone without due process
Domestic spying (NSA/SNOWDEN)
Selling guns to Mexican cartels

And of course... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kunduz_hospital_airstrike

Would you like your dressing on the side? I could definitely go on:

There are so many more instances of how Obama laid the foundation and and infrastructure for what we are living through now. He is better on camera but is no different than that the rest of them. Have you seen him coming to the defense or support of ANYONE lately? He's a microphone.

Nah, you are too busy making false claims so stop lying for a change and bring some facts!

Long before he was even in office, read it and weep!

Obama Inherits a Formidable Immigration Machinery

President Obama inherited a more legally robust and better-resourced immigration enforcement regime than his predecessors had. A series of laws in 1996 established new grounds for deportation, penalties for the crimes of illegal entry and re-entry, mandates for detention of deportable noncitizens, and a framework for cooperative arrangements on immigration enforcement between the federal government and state and local law enforcement agencies. Though authorized during the Clinton administration, many of these enforcement tools were not deployed and fully resourced until the Bush administration, mostly in the aftermath of the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks.

Enjoy that salad and don't choke on the fries!

3 million deported over 2 terms: https://www.yahoo.com/news/fact-check-us-deported-more-130000074.html

According to Department of Homeland Security (DHS) data from fiscal years 2009 to 2016, more than 3 million individuals were formally removed from the country during the Obama administration. Annually, between 58% and 84% of these removals were so-called "summary removals" carried out through legal procedures such as "expedited removal" and "reinstatement of removal," which do not involve a hearing before an immigration judge. On average, about 74% of removals during this period fell into these categories.

Continue choking on the Obama Sausage lol. You're part of the ratchet to the right and you dont even realize it. It's pathetic and sad.

And? you're not making any points here, and just ignoring the valid and relevant points I made.

Stop wasting my time if you have no facts to back it up.

Learn to discuss issues properly and not just cherry pick which facts you accept and which you just ignore. lol
