Before he took office in 2008, Barack Obama vowed to end America’s grueling conflicts in Iraq and Afghanistan. During his second term, he pledged to take the country off what he called a permanent war footing.
“Our systematic effort to dismantle terrorist organizations must continue,” he said in May 2013. “But this war, like all wars, must end. That’s what history advises. It’s what our democracy demands.”
But Obama leaves a very different legacy as he prepares to hand his commander-in-chief responsibilities to Donald Trump.
U.S. military forces have been at war for all eight years of Obama’s tenure, the first two-term president with that distinction. He launched airstrikes or military raids in at least seven countries: Afghanistan, Iraq, Syria, Libya, Yemen, Somalia and Pakistan.
But the King Obama was a liar and that is shown.
Among the many things President Obama will be handing off to his successor this week: stubborn wars in three separate countries.
Obama came to office eight years ago vowing to end U.S. military interventions in Iraq and Afghanistan. Yet President-elect Trump stands to inherit the nation's longest war ever in Afghanistan, as well as renewed fighting in Iraq that has spread to Syria.
The outgoing president was reminded of the persistence of those wars at the pomp-filled farewell ceremony the Pentagon put on for him him earlier this month at a nearby military base.
"Mr. President, we've been at war throughout your tenure," said Gen. Joesph Dunford, chosen by Obama in 2015 to be chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff. "That's a period longer than any other American president."
That's right: Obama is the first president to serve eight years and preside over American wars during every single day of his tenure. That's not what Obama wanted or expected.
Democrat were you cowering in your little safe space when your King was president.
Democrat the world is really scary but you were silent when your King was in power.

Dummy the heading of the post is this :
The coldest place on the planet should be called The Witch's Tit
And your answer is this :
I'm going to slit your fucking scrotum and pour a can of beans into it.
Is there any reason not to realize how insane you Leftist are.
What up Joe. The Democrats are so confused when comes to impeachment it is enjoyable to watch. They have no clue about impeachment procedure. What they the Democrats want is the Right to Vote overturned when they are defeated at the ballot box.
The Democrat parrots it's politicians and the media with this statement.
NO ONE is above the law!
So Democrat you are saying that Illegal Aliens are above the law. You dummies have no clue what is happening in the world because your life is the bubble your media creates for you.
Democrat do you know that the Senate must impeach the president because the House does not have that power.
Dummy have you ever heard of Article 1 Section 3 if you haven't you should look it up.
Democrat the only Circus Show being put on is by Democrats. Are you to ignorant to figure that out.
