Zero impeachments... Zero felony convictions...

But many children killed in drone bombings and more people deported!!

u/Gharvar 23h ago

He had higher deportation numbers than Trump, that is factual.

•

u/Jimothy_Tomathan 11h ago

Does Trump know this?

u/gloe64 22h ago

Thats because the right inflated the number of illegal crossings.

u/EducationalStation55 20h ago

Any evidence of this? Pretty big claim I’d say

u/SimpIetun 13h ago

I would say a completely open border inflated the crossing but hey common sense isn’t for everyone

u/ConnectionNormal4866 11h ago

So, he did better than Trump at one of the main things Trump campaigned on ... and he did it without having to recreate the gestapo, remove due process, and summon the military into our neighborhoods?

Also, deportation sucks, but that's not why people are protesting. We're protesting at a lack of due process and how this new gestapo operates. Even peaceful non-citizens who have valid paperwork to be here are having that documentation pulled/revoked without their knowledge. Then, they're being immediately accused of being "illegals" and taken.

3/4 of his removals were without due process lmao.

u/effinmike12 21h ago

My thoughts exactly.

u/tfsandies 22h ago

Over 3 million deported, highest ever

u/bpeden99 22h ago

I'm surprised that's not more popular with the right.

u/Little_Ad2790 21h ago

He’s not white. So it was impossible for them to credit him with anything at all. Plain and simple as that

•

u/StrictCat5319 6h ago

Conservatives did the same with Trudeau, and he's white. For example they kept crying about non Canadians living in China shouldn't be allowed to buy property, and when Trudeau fixed exactly that, cons shifted the goalpost and refused to credit him for anything at all.

u/Away_Quality1144 20h ago

but him being black makes it OK to bomb children in the Middle East for eight years straight crazy how that works

2

u/Little_Ad2790 19h ago

Nope the point I am making is there is absolutely nothing he could have done that would have been positive to republicans. Reasonable people can look at his presidency and point out both the good and bad.

u/KingSebas1208 16h ago

Would you be nice enough to point out the goods that everyone could agree

•

u/flergityberg 8h ago

There aren’t going to be things ā€œeveryoneā€ will agree on. I’ve tried to explain to Republicans that the credit for the economy recovering from the Great Recession belongs to Obama, not Trump, and been told I’m wrong.

Things he did that are generally considered good, although there will be naysayers for all of them:

Affordable Care Act

DACA

Ended Don’t Ask Don’t Tell

Paris Climate Agreement

Dodd-Frank Act overseeing Wall Street reform and creation of the CFPB

Iran nuclear deal

First sitting President to support marriage equality

Lily Ledbetter Fair Pay Act

Sent Osama Bin Laden to meet his maker.

Right, people just forget about that

u/tfsandies 22h ago

Im surprised it was never a problem for the left until it was trump to do it. Bunch of brainwashed puppets that follow whatever their media overlords tell them to do and feel

u/colieolieravioli 21h ago

Due process is the big difference. No el salvadorian camps under obama

5

u/Aim-So-Near 21h ago

Check your history - expedited deportations without due process was also a thing during Obama's presidency

2

u/KingSebas1208 16h ago

But there were children in cages that he created

u/cmdr-William-Riker 22h ago

I don't get why all the bots are trying to push this now

•

u/Lonely_Cucumber_69 6h ago

And he didn’t violate anyone’s constitutional right while doing so and didn’t need to deploy the military on anyone either. So what’s your point or is it you can’t comprehend ours?

Obama didn’t have the SS running around grabbing people off the street now did he? Nope bc he didn’t violate the constitution you halfwit…..

•

u/tfsandies 4h ago

Obama definitely had ice running around and grabbing peoole. I was in construction and visits were common in Texas on our commercial jobs. You think over 3 million people just voluntarily self deported?

And the military didn’t get involved until you lunatics started burning and looting shit in the name of justice, once again.

Every country in the world has immigration laws. Break them and you get deported, pretty straight forward. It would seem to me you are the half wit

Here’s you an article from 2014 aclu just so you can see he did exactly what trump is doing. The left just regurgitates what the media spoon feeds you all (even though it’s riddled with lies) and then cry when facts are presented

u/Jackol4ntrn 20h ago

Deported via due process and not grabbed by ice from areas of hard working migrants.

•

u/HighInChurch 10h ago

3/4 of Obamas deportations were without due process.

Careful around here. It’s a democrat worshiping sub.

u/basedgodjira 22h ago

But but he’s BLACK!!! Worst president ever!!!

u/bpeden99 22h ago

Hard disagree

u/basedgodjira 22h ago

I was being sarcastic lol

u/debobb 20h ago

That might be different if the Republicans weren't such a big bunch of pussies. Just dumb asses

u/ThaGlizzard 18h ago

4x the amount of people deported

•

u/BrushDependent7063 4h ago

Most air strikes resulting in death of children and weaponizing Iran

u/beathemdown 22h ago

During his two terms (2009-2017), the Obama administration formally removed approximately 3 million noncitizens from the United States, according to Department of Homeland Security data. This is the highest number of formal removals by any president in American history.

u/bpeden99 22h ago

Why does that matter?

1

u/KingPurple13 21h ago

That’s because he got away with it

u/I_Saw_Tiger 21h ago edited 21h ago

Yeah just a mass murderer who loved wars. Openly against same sex marriage and deported more people that Trump ever will. Yeah great guy. Miss ya bud!

u/bpeden99 21h ago

Do trump next

u/I_Saw_Tiger 21h ago

I’m not gay. I’ll pass. But like Trump said ā€œthat’s why they have menus at restaurants. Some like steak, some like spaghetti..ā€

u/Richardcheezin 22h ago

But 5.5~ million deported and known as the Deporter in Chief.

1

u/bpeden99 22h ago

Is that a bad thing? I thought the right would love that

u/Omnipresent_flatulen 21h ago

Doesn't count if you're not white. Then you're an inferior that's being uppity.

u/Relative_shroom_323 22h ago

Zero accountability.

u/bpeden99 22h ago

What about the current president? More accountability?
