Reflecting on his presidency, Obama posed the question, “Well, was there something else I could have done?”

Former President Barack Obama cautioned against ignoring the complexities of the Israel-Hamas war, warning that “all of us are complicit.”

“If you want to solve the problem, then you have to take in the whole truth. And you then have to admit nobody’s hands are clean, that all of us are complicit to some degree,” he said in an excerpted interview with Pod Save America released Saturday.

            (Ignore the fact that the most effective gun control legislation of the past decade was passed by the Trump administration)

            (Ignore the fact that Joe Biden was literally sold to us as the “Conservative democrat”)

            (Ignore the fact that Roe v. Wade was overturned with Democrats controlling the White House and Congress)
