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
If/when O gets another 4 years.
