People projected onto Obama even harder. Remember the hope and change? I do. What has Obama done for the Black community who voted pretty much as a block for him? Have the inner cities improved significantly in 8 years?
> made a few policy missteps here and there
Syria, Arab Spring mess, meddling in and then having Ukraine loose Crimea. A constant drone war (after preemptively receiving a Nobel Peace prize), increased surveillance, persecution of whistleblowers. That's more than a few missteps.
That refugee crisis in Europe wasn't an act of God, and wasn't created in the vacuum, Western intervention in the ME is a big factor there.
Let's criticize Trump like we should, but that's doesn't get Obama off the hook so to speak.
