Obama killed WAY more brown people than W. Millions of dead brown people only matter when it’s not your team, huh?
[citation needed]
See: Afghanistan, Iraq, Syria, Libya, Yemen, Somalia and Pakistan.
Don’t be willfully ignorant.
you said millions. I can not find a citation for that. Nothing close...? sooo provide a citation for your outrageous claim, don't call me ignorant for asking you to back up your own words, fucknut.
Wikipedia doesn't seem to agree but Im sure YoU dID Y0uR rESeARcH
'Obama embraced the US drone programme, overseeing more strikes in his first year than Bush carried out during his entire presidency. A total of 563 strikes, largely by drones, targeted Pakistan, Somalia and Yemen during Obama’s two terms, compared to 57 strikes under Bush. Between 384 and 807 civilians were killed in those countries, according to reports logged by the Bureau.'
