I am as horrified by Obama's foreign policy as much as anyone, and I can't figure out why he's such a dick. I shift between:
1- He was always a hawkish dick, and we if had paid more attention in 2008 we would've realized it
2- The office corrupts. Lord knows what a head-fuck it must be to be POTUS.
3- There are things we don't know--either because they are top secret or under-reported or I have no idea where to research. If I had all the facts--who knows?--I might agree Obama has made the safest, smartest, most humane decisions when it comes to extraordinary rendition, drone attacks, etc.
