Hello Cindy, Totally agree with this summation of Number 44, the PT Barnum of presidential politics (viz. "There's a sucker born evra 'minnit'!"). An incorrigibly corrupt, cynical, smarmy, carny-barking, political second-story man of the most contemptible kind, about whom the kindest thing we might🗣gets better at what he’s good at with advancing years. A great trasher of democracy, not a defender! Obama's status as "Monster-in-Chief" was made all the more unassailable because he perpetrated the biggest fraud on the American people, and also upon those of us non-Americans who were like yourselves looking for a change in the direction the US was heading.

Interesting to note there were many things that inspired my own entry into political commentary, but three stand out. The first was 9/11, the GWOT and the Bush era in general. The second was the GFC. And the third was Obama's treachery and betrayal.

For what it's worth, you and readers will see below a link to an article I wrote on the "Great Black and White Hope" at the fag-end of his deplorable tenure as POTUS, which you may or may not have seen. Your timing on this post is v good, as I was thinking of updating this article for posterity. Even in this lengthy piece (20m), I only scratched the surface of the man's sins n' crimes of omission and commission. Or better still, a sequel of sorts, as a lot of water has flowed under the Obama's bridge since that time. Part of any new narrative would include his involvement in pushing the Russia-gate brouhaha of course, but there'd be plenty also to talk about.

On a slightly different note, I hear his Mrs is planning a tilt at the Oval Office in 2024, and that in itself will provide much grist to the mill. Imagine, Obama as the first First (Black) Man in the White House, another two for the price of one deal (or will it be "But one, get one free?"). The thought should make most folks tremble. I hear also that the old DNC 'boiler' Chilly Hillary is thinking of running, another nightmarish scenario. Spare us puhleeze! 😱 GM 👀⬇️

ARTICLE: Our Last Best Hope (The Obama Promise), by Greg Maybury

🎯A Critical Examination of the Tenure & Legacy of the Great American Black n’ White Hope.🥊 (From 2016)

Brief: After Barack Obama’s hope-fuelled triumph in 2008, it was clear millions of Americans were looking forward to moving in a wholly new direction. As we near the final year of his tenure, and with these expectations in mind, now is as good a time as any to look at some of the factors likely to shape his legacy. To this end, we scrutinise a presidency that promised so much to so many.

Good article. If we want to build a truly free society, we have to stop thinking in terms of left and right. These are just labels used to divide us and keep the criminals in power. At this point, it’s humans vs. nonhumans.

Humans, non-humans (Gates, Fauci, Schwab, etc) and NPCs.

Obama's Bombing Legacy

1/18/2017

Exclusive: President Obama has joked he still doesn’t know why he won the Nobel Peace Prize in 2009, but his record of waging war was no joke to thousands at the receiving end of U.S. bombs, says Nicolas J S Davies.

...Obama’s total of 100,000 air strikes

are rounded out by 24,700 bombs and missiles dropped on Syria,

 7,700 in NATO and its Arab monarchist allies’ bombing of Libya in 2011,

another 496 strikes in Libya in 2016,

and

at least 547 drone strikes in Pakistan, Yemen and Somalia.'..

In 2011 the bestial slaughter of Muammar Gaddafi and the destruction of Libyas Jamahiriya, which was not only a model of direct democracy, but a beacon of hope for millions, made me aware of the US/NATO empires criminality and brutishness.

Hillary Clinton: “We came, we saw, he died.”

Helpless and powerless to do anything except avoiding purchases which could benefit US companies, I wait for a chance to one day pay back, to make somehow a contribution, tiny it may be, to the fall of the empire.

I promise that this comment will be the last. You have missed the point on a monumental scale. Obama killed no one. Bush Jr. killed no one. Those before and those after killed no one. Hitler killed no one (other then possibly in World War I). Mao, Pol Pot, F. Roosevelt killed no one. The nameless theoretically blameless order followers did all the killing and maiming, all the carnage and destruction. All of it.

As long as the many continue to follow orders without exercising moral judgement, the slaughter will continue.

Do you promise this is your last comment?

You don't think ordering mass-murder doesn't make someone a mass-murderer?

Your reasoning is super-faulty.
