Unpopular opinion: Obama should be prosecuted for the immense amount of drone strikes that resulted in thousands of deaths.
Not for the deaths themselves, but he should be tried for authorizing 'double-tap' strikes. Depending on the exact justification and the level of scrutiny employed, it may not rise to the level of a war crime - but there is a very good chance that it does.
Sadly, it'll never happen. If Bush didn't get tried for much, much worse while being much, much less popular, Obama definitely isn't.
I also think Bush should be tried for war crimes. But that's not that unpopular. :)
I'm not sure why that is an actually unpopular opinion either... They're literally designed to hit first responders.
If I don't like it when their guy does it, I don't see why it's ok when our guy does it.
I actually wrote up and sent Obama a strongly worded letter a few years ago, after his last term ended expressing my disappointment in him. I read his book and realized that he didn't know, or refused to acknowledge his complicity in the atrocities of his administration. Never did get a reply.
