Each presidential cycle gets shrouded in the ultimate question, “Are you
better off than you were four years ago?”

In Oliver Stone’s new book — “The Untold History of the United States” —
the filmmaker, along with historian Peter Kuznick, argues that, “The
country Obama inherited was indeed in shambles, but Obama took a bad
situation and, in certain ways, made it worse.”

...

“It’s scarier,” said Stone. “I grew up under Eisenhower … and it’s
gotten scarier because of the Bush and Reagan people and now I find
Obama scary in a way that I had not done in 2008.” Stone cited reports
of American drone attacks in Yemen and Pakistan as examples, as well as
the president’s so-called “kill list.”

“The president, himself, has become judge, jury and executioner around
the world,” said Kuznick.
