I've been disgusted by Facebook for at least a decade, so McNamee's very late disillusionment seems a bit silly. He sent Zuck a stern email ten days before the election! I also enjoyed this gem:

In protest of the Iraq War and other policies during the George W. Bush Administration, he refused to cut his hair. When President Obama was inaugurated, he celebrated with a trip to the barber.

Kudos for being right about Iraq before it was cool, but we're still in Iraq, aren't we? Just to be safe, let's don't get a hair appointment immediately on Michelle's inauguration...

Bush just invaded other countries, Obama not just invaded other countries, he also was bold enough to accept Nobel Peace award for it.

I think Obama is much more bad ass than Bush.

I think your timeline is a bit scrambled. Obama got the Nobel Peace (or rather, Not-GW-Bush-Jr) prize in the first year of his presidency, before any foreign interventions that could be realistically ascribed to his policy.
