Barack Obama"-the worst president ever! I thought I was the first to make this statement in print. On March 9, 2013, I posted this article on my web, then on TCBH!, also on counterpunch. See my reasoning here: Ron Ridenour: Obama: The Worst President Ever
As I write this piece, I see there are many writings, over 11 million on the Microsoft search machine, with this title or nuances thereof. Coincidentally one of them is by Dave Lindorff. Here are extracts from: Is Obama the Worst President Ever? - CounterPunch.org
"He introduced new secrecy rules, launched a record number of prosecutions of government whistleblowers, including an international manhunt to arrest or kill NSA whistleblower Edward Snowden which included the forcing down of a presidential aircraft carrying the president of Bolivia"
"Future generations of Americans will surely look back at President Obama as not just a con-man, but as someone who blew several trillion dollars on continued wars around the globe, as someone who terminally destroyed the Bill of Rights and the Constitution"
"On his watch too, young children, fleeing US-caused gang violence in Mexico, Guatemala, Honduras and elsewhere in Latin America, have been sent back to their home countries illegally, or held in prisons in this country in violation of direct court orders. He also ordered his Justice Department not to prosecute the criminal bankers who willfully destroyed the US and the global economy to profit themselves and their institutions""
No stronger condemnation of a president, and an alleged Democrat at that, could this angry old activist find for him. So, I look forward to Dave's endorsement of the new name for Obama's organization, the War Party.
To my pleasure, I think that many others would agree, because I found a 2014 poll showing that Obama was chosen to be the worst US president ever. Obama voted worst U.S. president since 1945, Reagan voted best - ABC7 Chicago
Continuing from Lindorff, Obama engaged in more war crimes than any other president: conducting seven wars at one time, continuing the two that his Republican predecessor George W Bush started, and adding five to his gun belt. It was also under his authority, with his comrade CIA Director John Brennan, that a grand jury was convened to indict Julian Assange. Biden is now seeking to have him extradited to US torture chambers, subsequent to CIA lack of implementing its plans to have him murdered when he was supposedly protected and "safe" in the Ecuadorian Embassy, in London.
It was also under Obama-Biden (Victoria Nuland and Geoffrey Pyatt) that the US organized the neo-fascist coup in Ukraine 2013-4.

White capitalists used his dark skin to have him convince corruptible or weak African leaders to embrace AFRICOM. The goal is to force every African country to house US military troops and war machinery, aiming to stop Russian and Chinese capitalist competition. United States Africa Command (africom.mil)
Obama's main man, John Brennan sat with him ever Tuesday sending drones to murder people. The true Obama mantra is: I Have a Dream Drone.
Joe Biden Since the 2013-4 Ukrainian coup planned by Obama-Biden, and now with Biden as president, US government officials/Pentagon/CIA male and female warmongers are having wet dreams from bringing Ukraine, Sweden and Finland into NATO. Finland is a special prize with experience warring against Russia. It was a willing military ally with Nazi Germany's invasion of the Soviet Union. Ukrainian fascists during WWII murdered hundreds of thousands ethnic Russian Ukrainians and 1.2 million Ukrainian Jews. Entering NATO would assure that those countries could have nuclear weapons. Finland and Ukraine have thousands of kilometers of borders with Russia. What a prize for --democracy"!
Joe Biden's (and Obama's) Victoria Nuland admitted to the Senate that the US has bio-chemical labs in Ukraine. Fascist Zionist President Zelensky publicly declared before Russia entered Ukraine that he sought nuclear weapons. Two months before Russia's "special military operation", on December 17, 2021, Russia offered a peace treaty between it and the US. Treaty between The United States of America and the Russian Federation on security guarantees - The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Russian Federation (mid.ru)
Russians only want assurance that Ukraine would never become a member of NATO, would not have nuclear weapons, that neither party would threaten the other with nuclear weapons, and that NATO withdraw from encircling Russia. The US/NATO refused all demands.
US/NATO and their mass media refuse to recognize publically that ever since Vladimir Putin became Russia's president (2000), he has endeavored to be partners with the US, and even asked to join NATO, which every US president of both parties refused.
President Putin even aided President George W Bush's war against Afghanistan, allowing air bases in former Central Asian Soviet republics. What the military-industrial complex demands is to use Ukraine as a proxy for a widened war against Russia itself, seeking to control Russia's future for its profit.
