>Lest we forget that Obama gave America over to the health care industry, killed thousands with predator drones and was the first president to spend every day in office at war.
I believe LBJ spent every day of his presidency at war as well.
- cafard 9y agoYou could say that, but the level of involvement in the "advisory period" of the Vietnam War must have been matched in various Caribbean ventures in the early 20th Century. I suppose that you might as well count Lincoln, for secession preceded his inauguration.
- Clubber 9y agoSecession wasn't the official start of the war, I would say it was Sumter, which happened shortly after Lincoln took office. I was going to mention Lincoln, but he was in office during Sumter and when he died, Lee had already surrendered the confederate army. It's fairly fuzzy too because there were battles after the surrender.
- ska 9y agoFor some reasonable values of "at war", the US has inhabited it for nearly its entire history - making this sort of distinction moot.
