I know Obama was unjustly ostracized for wearing a tan suit, but I honestly (I'm European) don't know why a tan suit is a bad thing? Is it frowned upon for some reason? Do tan suits have a backstory (before the Obama thing) that I should know about?
Honest question.
Drone killing non combatants on the reg under obama was cool with you?
What made you think this was relevant to the conversation? We're talking about things Republicans fabricated to attack Obama. Him using more drones than any other president to kill brown people was a good thing for them.
This piece painted a picture where Obama did no wrong, which is incorrect.
What piece, the comment? Nothing they said was incorrect. Republicans couldn't/wouldn't attack him on it because their record is even worse and they don't really view bombing brown people as inherently bad.
From the comment i replied to.
Pretty clear to me.
That doesn't say he was flawless, it said they couldn't find anything to attack him on, which is true. They liked the whole "blowing up brown people with missiles" thing. That comment isn't unilateral praise of Obama, it's an explanation of why Republicans couldn't find dirt they could use on him, because the dirt that was there was on their faces too.
