Obama says it is 'hard to be hopeful' amid Israel-Hamas war

Former President Barack Obama delivered remarks in Chicago where he noted that the world feels "more unstable and more dangerous" than it has in a long time, referencing the ongoing war between Israel and Hamas. He adds that it is hard to be hopeful during this time and that the images of families mourning and bodies pulled from rubble “force a moral reckoning on all of us.”

He is offering no solutions.
So he wants to tell us the world sucks right now?
We noticed, we didn't need him to point it out.
Any solutions?
Because I don't hear any.

I've witnessed more chaos the last 3 years than I did ever in my life.

I was born early 90’s. I didn’t expect to be saying, “when I grew up…” until I was at least into my 50’s. My father was born in the 60’s. 30 years before me. Yet we had a nearly identical childhood. Social media changed everything. I lived through it, and now the world is beyond recognition. I grew up in the “old world”, which was somehow only a few decades ago…

Remember when Obama did an “apology tour” in the Middle East?!

Mr. President, the Russia and Chinese regimes are not the only corrupt ones. We also have an extremely corrupt regime (er, government) and stark inequality where the poor get poorer and the rich get richer.

He’s gone from “Yes we can” to “There’s no hope” 😬

Obama lives next to an ocean. Apparently he’s not too fearful of global warming.

Can we all acknowledge that as much as this guy has nice things to say, when his administrations are in power there is nonstop war the entire time? There were no wars in the other guys time.

He is celebrating his success. The mission accomplished. Pure evil.

During Barack Obama's presidency, the United States was involved in various military actions, but it's essential to note that not all of them were declared wars. Some notable events include:

1. **War in Afghanistan (2001-2021):** Although initiated before Obama took office, U.S. military involvement continued during his presidency.

2. **Iraq War (2003-2011):** The Iraq War also began before Obama's presidency, but he oversaw the withdrawal of U.S. troops from Iraq in 2011.

3. **Military intervention in Libya (2011):** The U.S. took part in a NATO-led intervention in Libya, primarily through airstrikes, as part of the broader international response to the Libyan Civil War.

These are the major military involvements during Obama's presidency. It's important to distinguish between declared wars and other military interventions or actions.
