Obama's human rights record is abysmal. Sure he did a lot of good things too, but not closing Guantanamo, ramping up drone strikes etc negate all of that good. I've written him a couple of letters with all of this in detail to which he has yet to respond (no surprise). Instead he's doing voice over work for shitty documentaries on Netflix.

You must be so happy that your sitting president is such a humanitarian.

This may come as a surprise for you but you can be against something or someone without being for something or someone else.

Ooh, are you protesting what-aboutism on a what-about reply? Seems a tad bigoted, no?
