I'm not going to defend him on this, although I have a slightly different perspective. I'll say that he was a decent prez, but not the fiery presence we need now. I mean, we need a fucking menacing giant with cunning and intelligence and some heat in the belly to stop this evil, shitty coup.
I thought he did a great deal of good, but he planted the seeds of much of it being wiped out by being too kind to shitty people.
Yeppers. I get that, friend. It was a point of contention for myself as well. Where people like you and I and many other see these assholes for what they are and react accordingly, Obama was way too conciliatory towards them.
