(8,009 posts)I don't even want to imagine what the apologists are going to throw at me now.
As far as I am concerned that was one of the worst things President Obama did. This ranks a close second tied with the ongoing drone war.
I can list a number of rather important best things he also has done as president, but that is not the point. Presidents on the whole are a mixed bag and will do things that some who voted for them did not anticipate or approve of.
The distortion of history to suit the 1% view is disturbing and continues the denial over motivations and actions to promote the War in Vietnam, and other imperial aggressions. Along with anointing one of the key architects of the continuing legacy of empire and exceptionalism, it is an offence not only to our own heritage but to the world as well.
