as if Biden was not enough of an impediment for the progressives
Obama has come out in the open to raise funds for the “old” man
in December 2019, Obama said the following at a forum in Singapore:
“If you look at the world and look at the problems it’s usually old people, usually old men, not getting out of the way.”
Jessa Crispin from The Guardian noted: the real target was Bernie Sanders
Obama was ready to halt Sanders if it seemed he were to be nominated
Sanders never courted the rich class, and avoided corporate money
it’s different with Obama; he loves corporate money
in return, he works for and delivers things demanded by the wealthy
Obama helped Biden get $11million in May, first time in his campaign
that was more than what Trump got in same period
Obama’s power raised $7.6 million from grassroots contributors
over $3.4 million was collected from rich undisclosed donors
Obama thanked the donor victims of his and Democrat propaganda:
“I appreciate all of you being on this call.” “But man, this is serious business. Whatever you’ve done so far is not enough.”
this is the usual crap one hears from professional politicians
commercial religious leaders and shrewd CEOs use the same shit
“it’s never enough” is the phrase you often hear from these sleek talkers
In Singapore, Obama tried to make women happy:
“Now women, I just want you to know; you are not perfect, but what I can say pretty indisputably is that you’re better than us [men].” “I’m absolutely confident that for two years if every nation on earth was run by women, you would see a significant improvement across the board on just about everything… living standards and outcomes.”
such a noble idea; or should one say another piece of stinking shit
as five months after the Singapore forum where he maligned old men
Obama supported his old man, Biden
the former vice president, who works for the corporations
Biden has a record of harming black and progressive causes
and has historically supported incarceration of blacks
the 3 major women under Obama had horrible hawkish war policies
he was the first and only black president of the US
but he didn’t fight to correct the wrongs committed against his own people
he’s against demanding reparations for past injustices to blacks:
“It is hard to think of any society in human history in which a majority population has said that as a consequence [of] historic wrongs we are now going to take a big chunk of the nation’s resources over a long period of time, to make that right.”
economist William A. Darity Jr. says fight for reparations must continue:
“Having a black president oppose reparations does not help the cause, particularly when that black president makes the case that an important source of black disadvantage is black folk’s own behavior. But black America should have paid attention to the experience of post-colonial black Africa and the Caribbean; leaders who look like you do not necessarily act in ways that benefit you. So be it. The struggle for reparations—and for black lives and justice—must and will continue, with or without Barack Obama in the fold.”
one should not hope for anything from Obama that can remedy the system
Obama lacks Dr. King’s fighting spirit and Malcolm X’s revolutionary zeal
where rectifying injustices done to blacks, poor, minorities are involved
he’s a capitalist who’s enjoying his life in big houses and on lavish vacations
he does not want to identify with the common people, including the blacks
if he had, he would be spending his time in his hometown Chicago
to see what’s ailing the black community in poor neighborhoods
how can their life be improved with economic upliftment programs
or how can big corporations be forced to hire more minorities
he could have asked Facebook, Google, Twitter, Microsoft, Apple to do so
not a chance
the Obamas are busy making lots of money
writing books, making movies, giving paid speeches …
taking vacations with Richard Branson and other influencers
Obama’s values coincide with those of his predecessor, George W. Bush
“Who [,i.e., George W. Bush,] I disagreed with on a whole host of issues.” “Still had a basic regard for the rule of law and the importance of our institutions.”
this is the central objective of the moneyed class
to which Obama belongs and that he has protected and wants to protect
if Obama had an iota of shame, he wouldn’t be defending George W. Bush
the mass murderer who created havoc in Iraq and Afghanistan
but then Obama himself used to make a list in White House who to kill
Obama’s “rule of law” implies state forces that protect private property
and the “institutions” are the media and the four year ritual of elections
one gets the sense of “free media” that gives news without any bias
the election creates a false sense of democracy in people’s minds …
Whereas
Trump is a heinous character, a very transparent one – says things openly,
Obama is much more dangerous because people can’t see his evil side
he continues to support the unjust and unequal prevailing system
he is passionate for maintaining the unfair and unjust the status quo
