Obama's Recent Achievements

Most people would agree that Obama is the least worst choice in the US Presidential election. But it's worth remembering what he really does and doesn't stand for, if he doesn't stand for anything other than election. 
He has waged war on Libya without congressional approval
He has started a covert, drone war in Yemen 
He has escalated the proxy war in  Somalia 
He has escalated the CIA drone war in Pakistan 
He will maintain a presence in Iraq even after "ending" war
He sharply escalated the war in Afghanistan 
He secretly deployed US special forces to 75 countries 
He   sold $30 billion of weapons to the dictatorship in Saudi Arabia 
He signed an agreement for 7 military bases in Colombia 
He opened a military base in Chile 
He touted nuclear power , even after the disaster in Japan

  1. If/when O gets another 4 years.
    This list will look tame.
    He will now take it global.
    Africa, and the Pacific will be his new and extended frontiers.
