I addressed that by noting that every President has presided over war crimes and human rights violations in this reckless Empire era of American foreign policy. Obama deserves criticism for his drone policy.

In fact, Obama's drone policies set the precedent for Trump to use & abuse those policies, and expand upon them. Trump's use of drone strikes has far exceeded Obama's - and Trump revoked the Obama rule on reporting drone strikes. Obama's admin. set the table for this Executive abuse - but my point also is this: You can't call Obama a "war criminal" while saying nothing about the far more egregious and criminal administrations of Bush & Trump.

So yes - Obama deserves criticism - but proportionate criticism.
