Even though I do support him on stuff that he deserves it on. Most of the stuff listed was sort of middle ground stuff...It wasn't really good, but it wasn't godawful either. Protecting war criminals and committing war crimes of your own: That's godawful.
Before the "OMFG WHAT CRIMES?!?!?!? LIIEEES!": Guantanamo closed yet? Assassinations without trials for US citizens? Indefinite detention? etc etc. All this stuff is pretty well documented, and when it's brought up most people either ignore it or break out the authoritarian "I TRUST DEAR LEADER WHY DON'T YOU?!" argument. Mostly because there's no other defense. So it's a bit disingenuous to claim we're pissed we didn't get a pony. Unless you consider the Constitution and various international treaties "ponies".
