I didn't vote for Obama, but I do remember he put a great deal of effort in telling supporters he was going to get us out of the wars of the Middle East, no?
Anyway, any equivalence between what is going on now the ME and what Hitler and the Nazis were doing back then is totally false.
I'm not saying they're equivalent, I'm saying that it's difficult to blame someone for his voting if he's bound to it for 5 years and can't change it.
The difference, to me at least, is that Hitler was very forthcoming with his plans for Germany...Mein Kampf quite clearly laid out his intentions, and almost all Germans owned a copy for political reasons.
So in that case, it seems voters knew exactly what they were getting (and eventually got) with Hitler.
Obama, not so much...obviously.
