I don't see were Omar mentioned Obama in the Newsweek article

42. You seem to have overlooked some of the other things you wrote.

Correct me if I'm wrong but the drones kept falling and there were kids separated at the border

and kept in cages. When Trumps separation of families started the photos of kids in cages were from Obama's time. Obama's reason for the kids in cages if I remember correctly was because they had crossed alone or with people that were not their parents. I don't expect everyone not to know that little fact because outside of DU no one that I have talked to about is seems to know why those kids were in detention by Obama. She's right, it's the policies, pretty or ugly that are behind the face that are objectionable. She's entitled to her opinion on Presidents, war, immigration policies like separation and is very correct that Obama operated within the same fundamentally broken framework as his successor Bush and other put in place .

So yes, in one sentence you suggested a reason for those pictures. But in your title you minimized the difference, and at the end you did that again, when you said Obama's polices were "objectionable" and "within the same fundamentally broken network." When Obama took over, the system was keeping families in detention as long as it took to get them asylum; he instead began holding them no longer than 21 days, and them releasing them after they signed a paper to return for their hearings. And NO President before Trump, even Bush, had engaged in the forced separation of parents from their children, except in the rare cases of criminal parents.

Trump's policies are uniquely bad.
