Obama got it before the drone bombings. It was more of a hope kinda thing but the hope didn’t turn out that great. And really just indirectly led us to vaguely gesture around
Obama not fighting for his Supreme Court appointment is a lot more than indirectly responsible for all of this. He abdicated his duty to execute the office and fucked us all in doing so.
Look, I’m not going to say Obama is blameless, but come on man. You’re kind of victim blaming here.
Mitch McConnell and the GOP are responsible.
Also, sure, Merrick Garland would have been better than what we ended up with, but how much better really? We all saw how Garland handled Jan 6 and Trump as AG.

Ah, we’re to “blame Obama for this” instead of blaming the senators who outright refused to look at Supreme Court Justices for a year.

Could he have done more than “encourage” RBG?

They can and do take prizes off laureates if they go bad later.
