"He brought in the 2012 NDAA which allowed the US government to treat US citizens the way he and Bush already treated everyone outside of the US. The 2012 NDAA affirmed and expanded indefinite detentions without trial of anyone the US suspects of ‘terrorism’, including US citizens." #3E
A screenshot of an ACLU article titled “President Obama Signs Indefinite Detention Into Law,” published December 31, 2011. At the top is an illustration of a blue field with white stars above three red stripes that form the shape of bound hands, symbolizing detention. The article explains that Obama signed the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA), codifying indefinite detention into U.S. law. A screenshot of a Human Rights Watch news release dated December 14, 2011, titled “US: Refusal to Veto Detainee Bill A Historic Tragedy for Rights.” The subheadline reads, “President Decides to Sign Ill-Conceived National Defense Authorization Act.” The article describes President Barack Obama’s decision not to veto the 2012 NDAA, which codifies indefinite detention without trial into U.S. law. The text includes criticism from Human Rights Watch Executive Director Kenneth Roth, who states that Obama will be remembered as the president who enshrined indefinite detention into U.S. law.

"As he promised during his campaign, Obama refused to prosecute or investigate anyone for the war crimes of Bush’s era. Instead, institutions and elites, especially military and bankers, were rewarded under Obama, following crimes they should have been punished for." #3E
A screenshot of a Human Rights Watch report page titled “Getting Away with Torture: The Bush Administration and Mistreatment of Detainees,” published July 12, 2011. At the top is the Human Rights Watch logo and sharing icons. Below the title is a large photo of former U.S. President George W. Bush speaking at a podium, gesturing with his hand. The image is credited to AP Images. A screenshot from the Freedom of the Press Foundation showing an article titled “Obama used the Espionage Act to put a record number of reporters’ sources in jail, and Trump could be even worse,” published June 21, 2017 and written by Peter Sterne. Beneath the headline is a photo of Donald Trump and Barack Obama sitting together in the Oval Office, shaking hands with strained expressions. A screenshot from Common Dreams displaying an article titled “Obama’s Big Sellout: The President has Packed His Economic Team with Wall Street Insiders,” written by Matt Taibbi and published December 13, 2009. The subheadline states that Obama filled his economic team with Wall Street insiders intent on turning the bailout into a giveaway. The page header includes the Common Dreams logo and a blue “Donate” button.

"In one year alone, in 2016, Obama used 26,171 bombs on seven countries: Syria, Iraq, Afghanistan, Libya, Yemen, Somalia, and Pakistan, none of which the US was at war with at that point." #3E
A screenshot of a 2017 article from The Nation titled “Why Did the US Drop 26,171 Bombs on the World Last Year?” written by Greg Grandin. Below the headline is a photo of a heavily damaged multistory building with its facade blown open, debris scattered around, and a lone uniformed figure walking near the wreckage. A screenshot of a Statista and Independent graphic embedded in an article titled “The U.S. dropped 26,171 bombs in 2016.” The page explains that the data comes from Micah Zenko at the Council on Foreign Relations. A world map shows bomb totals by country for 2016: Syria (12,192), Iraq (12,095), Afghanistan (1,337), Libya (496), Yemen (35), Somalia (14), and Pakistan (3). Large purple circles represent the relative number of bombs dropped in each country.

"Obama ordered 563 drone strikes, which murdered around 3,797 people, none of which faced any trial and almost none of which were suspected of any crime. For comparison, George W. Bush ordered 57 strikes during his eight years of war and terror." #3E
A screenshot of the Council on Foreign Relations website displaying an article titled “Obama’s Final Drone Strike Data.” Below the headline is a photograph of Donald Trump and Barack Obama standing close together and shaking hands during Trump’s inauguration ceremony. The byline notes the post is by Micah Zenko, dated January 20, 2017. A screenshot from The Bureau of Investigative Journalism featuring a headline that reads “Obama’s covert drone war in numbers: ten times more strikes than Bush.” The image shows former President Barack Obama standing at a podium, gesturing with both hands, with an American flag visible behind him. The article category above the headline is labeled “Human Rights” and “Drone Warfare,” dated January 17, 2017.

"Obama promised to shut Guantanamo. Instead, he avoided sending more people to black site prisons by increasing assassinations." #3E
A split image showing two news excerpts about the U.S. government’s failure to close the Guantanamo Bay detention facility. On the left, a news article features a man resembling a U.S. president seated at a desk while signing documents, with the headline “Obama Signs Order To Close Guantanamo Within A Year” dated January 22, 2009. On the right, two later headlines appear. The first, from January 10, 2011, urges the administration to act on its pledge to close Guantánamo. The second, dated January 11, 2017, reports members of Congress asking the outgoing president to close the facility in his final days. A collage of four sources discussing the Obama administration’s drone killing program and targeted-killing infrastructure. On the left, a screenshot of Wikipedia’s “Disposition Matrix” page explains the database informally known as a “kill list,” developed under the Obama administration in 2010 to track, capture, or kill suspected enemies. An image shows a Predator drone firing a Hellfire missile. On the upper right, an ACLU press release headline reads “Obama Administration Claims Unchecked Authority To Kill Americans Outside Combat Zones.” Below it, a Guardian opinion piece titled “Obama’s drone wars and the normalisation of extrajudicial murder” criticizes the expansion of targeted killings. At the bottom right, a Wired article titled “Former CIA Chief: Obama’s War on Terror Same as Bush’s, But With More Killing” reports that Obama increased targeted killings compared to the Bush era.
