There was the whole "Winning the Nobel Peace Prize while ordering drone assassinations", but yeah, tan suit was #1.

[–] SkyezOpen@lemmy.world 36 points 2 years ago

Imagine 2014 fox trying to rile up their base because the president was killing innocent brown people. They wouldn't give a fuck. Tan suit and Dijon mustard were all they had to work with.

[–] splicerslicer@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

He won the prize before even entering office.

Obama was like Sherman: His deeds will be memorized in the occupied territory for all of eternity.

[–] TheBlue22@lemmy.blahaj.zone 54 points 2 years ago (2 children)

I like how this is remembered as a scandal, as opposed to drone striking a wedding

[–] BruceTwarzen@kbin.social 11 points 2 years ago

Americans have different priorities

[–] Sarmyth@lemmy.blahaj.zone 9 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Certainly, presidents have some responsibility for things that the military does during their tenure, but people talk about these events, like he was told they were striking a DWB facility. I suspect he was told told they had located their target, and he approved without knowledge of the location and potential blowback.

His Whitehouse always struck me as more savvy than that, which led me to believe some of these were the result of omissions during communication from overseas.

That said, I totally believe they would bomb a wedding if they felt a high enough priority target was there (even if they were wrong). I felt the military was given ALOT of freedom to make decisions on their own while Obama was in office.

That sounds reasonable. Thanks for the perspective

[–] ArugulaZ@kbin.social 41 points 2 years ago

Don't forget when he dared to ask for GREY POUPON on his hot dog! Oh, gasp and swoon! The media assured us that it was exactly as bad as Trump raping a thirteen year old girl, because anything one side does is just as bad as everything the other side does.

[–] CaptainBasculin@lemmy.ml 30 points 2 years ago (2 children)

I'm fairly certain drone strikes are a bigger scandal than a tan suit

[–] SpaceNoodle@lemmy.world 24 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Nah, they were killing brown people

[–] papalonian@lemmy.world 14 points 2 years ago (2 children)

Imagine if they were killing tan people

I those are the leather people I keep hearing about.

[–] Jakdracula@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

What if they were killing tan suits?

[–] Sludgehammer@lemmy.world 21 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

Funny how that scandal went away once a white man massively escalated the number of drone strikes... as well as stopped recording civilian casualties.

[–] Teon@kbin.social 29 points 2 years ago (1 children)

The real scandal was how fucking hot he looked in that suit!
And how jealous the GOP was of it.

Republicans accused him of trying to remove God on the money and made him sign shit to "remind him".

They also accused him of saying tire gauges were his foreign policy plan because they love lying and are a bunch of bastards.

Lots of aren't fond of the Dems either but the Republicans are just terrible people.

I could never get a piped video to run on any platform.

[–] roofuskit@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

You'd think it was when he approved the extrajudicial killing of a US citizen with a drone. Imagine someone like Trump running with the precedent he set.

[–] Mr_Blott@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

YouTube links aren't shitposts, they're fuckin sewage
