    Dude, Obama ordered more drone strikes than any president before him. Just because he was a good speaker and charismatic doesn’t make him a good person.

      How many drone strikes did Truman order? How about Garfield? Maybe a metric of “Everyone who came before” isn’t very good for technological advancements like that.
