Bin Laden, Kim Jong Il, Hugo Chavez, Mullah Omar, Qaddafi, and now Castro. With less than 60 days left, I wonder if he can give us Zawahiri to top it all off. Or maybe Assad? ---

Obama wasn’t responsible for any of their deaths except for bin-Laden. The others either died of natural causes or as a result of revolution within their countries. ---

Qaddafi you can put on Obama’s ledger, but yes, I was just noting how unlucky the evildoer class has been under Obama’s watch. ---

I don’t like happenstance spin that helps Republicans, I don’t like happenstance spin that helps Democrats. Communist Castro’s croaking is an example of this, similar to how Idi Amin died during the Bush admin. Neither is any testament to “spreading freedom.” ---

> [@adaher](#): > > Qaddafi you can put on Obama’s ledger, but yes, I was just noting how unlucky the evildoer class has been under Obama’s watch. Cite that Obama was responsible for Gaddafi’s death? I was specifically thinking of him as an example of a leader who died as a result of revolution in his country. ---

> [@adaher](#): > > A revolution that was on the verge of failing until we intervened. Our intervention in Libya was a shitshow. It was Obama’s Iraq. Obama called it the biggest mistake of his administration. And there were reports that it was French secret service agents who were involved in tracking down and killing Gaddafi. You’re a fucking cretin. ---

Actually, in Fidel’s case there is more going on than has been mentioned by the press. Seems he had a thing going all this time with Florence Henderson. An aide informed Castro of her demise, and he just collapsed. Died shortly thereafter. ---

At best Obama didn’t interfere with Kqgaaddaffie’s decision to loosen the shackles on Libya that led to his inevitable death at the hands of his own people. Pretty much dumb luck I’d say considering what a mess we’ve made in the Middle Eastern region otherwise. ---

> [@cochrane](#): > > Obama wasn’t responsible for any of their deaths except for bin-Laden. The others either died of natural causes or as a result of revolution within their countries. He wasn’t even responsible for bin Laden. That was due to long-term action set in motion by Bush 43. It simply happened on Obama’s watch and he was more than happy to take credit for it. ---

You misspelled ‘due to turning around the ineffective, useless, failed short-term action set in motion by Bush 43 who let him get away in the first place’. ---

If my GOP-voting friends are typical, this is exactly why Trump was able to get a majority in the electoral college. The voters drank the orange kool-aid.
