Why would any US president be obligated to take any action here?

"Hey, go look at Zimbabwe. Maybe also Venezuela." is the appropriate response here. Anything more is unnecessary meddling.

He would have said that the frustration the people running the farmers out had was "understandable"

If anything, the displaced South African farmers are likely to end up in Zimbabwe of all places, now that Mugabe is out of power.

Yeah he didnt do anything to stop it. Same with 9/11 he didnt do anything to stop that either. Hell he really didnt do anything to stop Kennedys assassination as well. Thanks a lot Obama

Because the whole topic is framed under the hypothetical of if this happened when he was President.

Then you're like "He did do something." which I took to mean that he did something per-emptively when he was President.

But it turned out, he didn't do anything at all and you were talking about the speech..

Which is doing something, but nothing of substance.

Obama carries a lot of respect, so his words mean a lot. But its not like he has the power to directly combat the government of South Africa. And even if he did, its not his right. Im not sure what the point of this topic is
