      Missed a trick there, they should have timed it to be the same time that Trump was arriving in the UK. Nothing drives him mental more than Obama getting attention when he thinks it should be on him.

      This just in: Western liberals once again prove it’s only certain war criminals and genocides they care about (when forced to), completely fine with the right kind of war criminal

      War criminal who imitated left wing progressive populism during his campaign and then discouraged an entire generation of young people when what he actually delivered was Neo liberal failure, which led to people voting for Trump.

      I’m sure the reactions to this will be totally normal and not at all hysterical.

      We keep liking these losers long after everyone else knows they’re shit.

      Why stop at petrol stations, amirite?

      He dropped 26-thousand bombs on 7 countries without congressional approval in 2016, add in 563 drone strikes and ten times more air strikes in his covert war on terror during his presidency than under his predecessor, the *big bad* George W. Bush. He’s a real hero.

      Fucking arse lickers never stop. He could kill millions & the establishment here would still roll out the red carpet for the murdering piece of shit.

      The idea of “freedom of the city” is a load of bollocks anyway but why is he getting this?

      > It had been proposed by then lord mayor Brendan Carr, who cited the Democrat’s Irish roots and support for peace in Northern Ireland, shortly after he was succeeded by Donald Trump.

      > The then Labour councillor said while he did not wish to “canonise the Obamas” or declare his presidency “a success”, Mr Obama was a “stabilising and moderating” influence on US foreign policy.

      His “Irish roots” is complete nonsense, he is far more English than Irish. Support for peace in Northern Ireland? Everyone supports that.

      A “stabilising and moderating influence” on US foreign policy? No he fucking wasn’t! Drone deaths sky rocketed, Libya, Syria, troop surges in Afghanistan. There is a reason that his Nobel Peace Prize, just 9 months into his first Presidency is considered controversial.

      Why? Wasn’t it his administration that financially (No You Can’t) fucked us over in the aftermath of the banking crisis?

      The political establishment in this country are a fucking disgrace. Rewarding a war criminal because he’s charismatic, I really can’t stand these hypocrites.

      Are we giving him the golden drone? Maybe with an oil painting of shredded wedding guests.

      What’s going on with the AI slop retouching of his suit in the photo?

    25. MachineOutOfOrder on

      That’s stupid as fuck. Why are people acting like only Trump is a bad US president? Just because Obama is suave and charismatic we should forget about the monstrous things he did?

      You mean the guy who test ran the slaughter of civilians by drones, the same military operations we see in Palestine, Lebanon today. The first leader to employ mass drone strikes, killing over 500 civilians in 1 year. People talk about Hamas. He’s morally reprehensible. It’s only the naive Irish are attracted to him, why, I don’t know ow, some fairy tale I suppose.

      Also don’t forget, beside the bombings and the war crimes, he refused to pardon whistle-blower Edward Snowden, who revealed the extent of US government surveillance on its citizens. 

    29. OopsWrongAirport on

      He shouldn’t be. Mass murderer so he is. Achieved nothing of substance and his failures paved the way for Trump. Hasn’t used his voice or platform to oppose the genocide being perpetrated by Israel. He should be rebuked.

      Stop white washing these American criminals, diplomacy is one thing, gargling their balls is another.

      Interesting – in my anecdotal experience, Ireland has been far more critical of him than most of the rest of Europe. My mum was a major fan of Gadaffi, though, so maybe the circles I move in back home as unrepresentative on this issue as they are on so many others.

    40. ConfusedCelt on

      Ah poor Libya still hasn’t recovered yet Barack is still lauded as a nobel peace holder. He got enough awards and praise in his term why are we blowing him again?
