Ordering the execution of a 16 year old American citizen via drone strike, carried out while the target was eating at a cafe in Jordan. The missile killed him, his cousin he was eating with, and seven more people who just happened to be there
Wait nevermind it was when he said not to put ketchup on a hot dog
That was the incident that finally took the blinders off my eyes and made me realize "oh, Obama is literally just a fucking serial killer". It makes liberal's fascination with serial killer true crime dramas make more sense, it reminds them of their favorite president.
The wikipedia article about it doesn't even bother to mention that the drone strike murdered a whole cafe full of people. The lives of other are just a non-factor in westerner's minds sometimes.
First thing that comes to mind is he used a fuck ton of drones overseas. But in the years before his presidency, more and more drones were being used.
Second, Obama was pro-whistle blowers when he ran for POTUS. But when Edward Snowden told the world that the NSA is spying on Americans, suddenly Obama took his pro-whistle blowing stance off of his website.

In terms of body count, bragging that he made us the #1 producer of natural gas and choosing to not address climate change because it, along with healthcare, would expend too much political capital.
Not only were the drones awful, but there was some reporting at the time about a policy of double-tapping - hitting the target, then sending a second missile after emergency crews showed up to deal with the damage.
fucking over mortgage holders in favor of recapitalizing the banks, immiserating millions and cutting black wealth in half
Has to be the 2011 civil war in Libya intervention imo
This isn't the worst thing he did but it's the one that made me see him for what he is: drinking the water at a press conference in Flint.
Ending occupy wallstreet and kicking the can down another ~20 years or so.
