Edit: Turns out this quote is fake. Thank you everyone in the comments for letting me know.
Obama never said this. I agree with the sentiment, but the man never made this statement.

Martin Luther King said "SOPA was bullshit, and so are Google's new internet standards. They must be stopped!"
That's why Oswald shot him I guess.
The Penguin from Batman?
Drew Carey’s friend who wasn’t Ryan Stiles.
"Wow!" - President Wilson
What in the actual fuck is this fake bullshit? Are we on Facebook all of the sudden??
I am a huge obama fan and voted for him twice, but I'm also a bigger fan of truth. And Obama never said this. Ever.
This is embarrassing, and op is making this look like booner fb memes. Just ridiculous.
Miss this guy so much.
Remember when you didn't constantly hear about the president? He just did his job and if you turned off the right wing news you barely even remembered we had a president.
He doesnt miss you (with the drone-launched hellfire missile)
Jokes, Obama was good, but he did dronekill a lot of people.
Obama was better, but as a staunch neolib carrying out George W. Bush policies, Barak Obama is far, far removed from good
Observe also, Biden's slowness in undoing some of Trump's policies, especially regarding migrants to the US and the changing of CBP and ICE policies.
One of the 100 civics questions they ask at natualization interview is "What does Freedom of Religion mean?" and the official answer is something like (paraphrasing) "Freedom to practice any religion, or none at all"
State legislatures in red states: "Hold my beer!"
As i agree with this particular ( fake ) quote, i suggest to western people that they are pushing too their belief on other people. USA and France and (in)famous in pushing their agenda ( cultural and political ) on foreign countries. One example: american puritanism pushed on european countries. And puritanism is really a far extreme religious view. And btw in America, why so many people perform male sexual mutilation ( circurmcision ) only cause a religious view on mansturbation?

Can you expand on this last point?
"You can't force others to live by your own beliefs" he said as drone striked innocent families to support the beliefs of the American military-industrial complex and rampant bigotry.
It's almost like people are neither wholly good nor wholly evil.
You're right the dramatic expansion of drone warfare and and the military industrial complex is an awful thing but it's not because he's a mustache twirling villain bent on hurting people for the funnsies. It's a convoluted tangled web of corporate contracts, lobbyists politicians at all levels, and backroom deal making, how military heirarchy interprets orders though the entire structure, almost like it's called a complex for a reason. Congress is just as responsible for the military as the president. They could cut funding, modify military doctrine, perform more stringent audits on the pentagon.
He played a role in the complex, but he wasn't some mastermind ordering specific drone strikes on weddings. I highly doubt he had a direct hand in the vast majority of military operations with the exception of the Bin Laden raid.
Thank you, was going to make the same reply
He didn't have to lie about it though. Over and over again.
