Obama is just another politician, not one deserving of a pedestal. No one is. They all LIE to get elected. Every last one of them. We should never believe a single word any of them say.

Yes, the Republicans are worse, but they have nothing to do with drone strikes or the TPP. Obama owns that, should it come to pass. And it will make everyone's lives worse, not better. Selling us all out for the corporations, as supposedly "good" Democrats have done time and time again (see NAFTA and Clinton for the gory, rotten details.)
