Yeah, Obama was good for the US but awful to the world for appeasing Putin via his puppet Medvedev. McCain on the other hand was critical of the Russian invasion of Georgia and had strong ties to the opposition in Russia, so he was well-informed on the situation. He wouldn't enable Putin to violate international law time and time again.

    I was actually living in the US when Obama got elected. I got caught up in the Obama hype at the time (I was pretty young).

    While I admit my opinion on Obama started leaning negative in 2014, even when living in the US I didn't really understand why there was no real prosecution of major financial groups following the the 2008 great recession.
