Ralph Nader: Obama’s a ‘war criminal’

It’s no surprise that Ralph Nader isn’t a fan of former President George W. Bush. After all, the longtime activist ran against him in both 2000 and 2004. But Nader’s even less a fan of President Barack Obama, if only because he thinks Obama was capable of so much more.

On issues related to the military and foreign policy, Obama’s worse than Bush, “in the sense that he’s more aggressive, more illegal worldwide,” Nader told POLITICO, going so far as to call Obama a “war criminal.”

“He’s gone beyond George W. Bush in drones, for example. He thinks the world is his plate, that national sovereignties mean nothing, drones can go anywhere. They can kill anybody that he suspects and every Tuesday he makes the call on who lives and who dies, supposed suspects in places like Yemen and Pakistan and Afghanistan, and that is a war crime and he ought to be held to account.”

I decided to quit picking on Ralph after reading excerpts from his most recent book and determining that his little choo-choo had gone all the way ‘round the bend.

I wish him happiness in retirement in a nice, safe place with plenty of supervision where he can’t hurt himself.

I don’t mind it, whenever Ralph Nader harms the left. Whenever left v.s. left happens, then all non-leftists win.

Translation:

Like millions of other leftist useful idiots, Ralph Nader was a credulous dupe who was fooled by Obama.

I don’t agree with one shred of Nader’s politics, but will always thank God for placing him in the electoral mix in 2000. Otherwise, Al Gore would’ve been in the White House during 9/11.

But, he will not hesitate to vote for DumBO again, the definition of insanity.
