For me, Obama has become inaudible; I don't care anymore about what he says.
I'm more interested in his actions; among these we find (by decreasing order of importance):
- use of drones to indiscriminately kill civilians, "suspected terrorists" or their children (cf. the murder of 16 years old American citizen Abdulrahman al-Awlaki)
- the detention, and ruthless and aggressive prosecution of Bradley Manning
- force-feeding Guantanamo detainees on hunger strike, depriving them of even the right to end their own life
I'm not a US citizen, so what I think about Obama really doesn't matter; but he must have set some kind of record in the amount of goodwill he was able to destroy during his time in office.
