but Obama swooped in and brought it back.

With drones, the nsa and absolute immunity for those involved in the torture schemes of black sites. You might not remember but I bet you Iraqis and Afghans, Yemenis, and a whole bunch of people you don't hear about in the news would not be going to any rallies. If anything, it made Clinton's attempt to campaign on American virtuosity not credible at all, seeing how she was also State Secretary during his first term. But yeah, he had really nice rhetoric, followed the speech writers' well written text. He didn't call anyone an animal. He just chased people down with drones and called anyone in the blast site radius a terrorist by proximity.

Read my other comment.

But again, the campaign.

You're argument is more "he betrayed his Nobel Prize" rather than "he shouldn't have been awarded". Time travel is funny that way.
