If that were true, there would have been no Libya War, and the US would not have engaged in warrantless assassinations of US citizens.

Heck, Obama wanted to move Gitmo to US soil - but preserve its status as a "Constitution-free zone" where none of the prisoners had any Constitutional rights. If you ever wondered why both Republicans and progressive Democrats voted against "closing" Gitmo, now you know.

Oh, don't get me wrong - Obama was loads better than Trump, but please don't portray Obama as some sort of preserver of the Constitution.
