Drone strikes under Obama have killed 900 people. War under bush killed a quarter of a million. i would say that is peace in context.

I'm not saying all Obama supporters had this sticker, but I'm curious as to why they exist at all since peace and Obama are opposites.
you arent curious, you are trolling. but again, 250,000 deaths from war, 900 from drone strikes. it is peace in context.

How many of those 250,000 were under Obama's watch? Can't say I know, but I do know 2/3 of the total US troop deaths in Afghanistan have taken place since his inauguration in 2009. IMO, neither Bush nor Obama has much to be proud when it comes to preserving life.

It must be code for genocide.

Obama should be tried for war crimes.

The next step is war crimes against Americans, when the drone strikes begin in this land.

That peace sign was big in the 60's and 70's as the communists agitators went against our soldiers in Vietnam and many Americans followed it.. I would not call it a peace sign. I call it a communist sympathizer sign.

Ummm... A lot of American soldiers (guys in combat firing guns at the other side) drew peace signs on their helmets while they were in Vietnam.

Were they communist sympathizers?

I support Obama but I agree on the "peace" thing. He campaigned on it and was (ridiculously) given the Noble peace prize despite doing nothing worthy of it.

I would love to see him scrap the drone program, cut military spending, and move it towards paying down entitlement expenditures.....but yeah....peace? not so much.
