The author has obviously been the target of a massive fraud, but people who closely observed Obama from the beginning knew he was not for "us" but for THEM. "Them" being the crooks and billionaires who actually control BOTH political parties.
What the Obama debacle has taught us, or should have taught us, is that BOTH political parties are tools of the same corrupt interests.
The question remaining is what the American people can do about it before EVERYTHING is gone.
But the arc of history does not bend toward justice through capitulation cast as compromise. It does not bend when 400 people control more of the wealth than 150 million of their fellow Americans. It does not bend when the average middle-class family has seen its income stagnate over the last 30 years while the richest 1 percent has seen its income rise astronomically. It does not bend when we cut the fixed incomes of our parents and grandparents so hedge fund managers can keep their 15 percent tax rates. It does not bend when only one side in negotiations between workers and their bosses is allowed representation. And it does not bend when, as political scientists have shown, it is not public opinion but the opinions of the wealthy that predict the votes of the Senate. The arc of history can bend only so far before it breaks.
I don't think Obama gives a shit about "history." He will be taken care of for the rest of his privileged life.
