Some people are unfamiliar with Obama's drones.

Tell me more about the wealth transfer.

when he bailed out the banks but left largely minority homeowners saddled with NINJA loans, he subjected them to foreclosures which will prevent a whole generation of Black people from ever owning homes again.

Crazy, isn't it?

During his presidency, Obama approved the use of 563 drone strikes that killed approximately 3,797 people. In fact, Obama authorized 54 drone strikes alone in Pakistan during his first year in office. One of the first CIA drone strikes under President Obama was at a funeral, murdering as many as 41 Pakistani civilians. The following year, Obama led 128 CIA drone strikes in Pakistan that killed at least 89 civilians.
