#obama fail

You are the reason we have a Mad King. Yes: you. Your failure to keep your promises to we who supported you in ‘08 (enthusiastically) and ‘12 (hoping you might redeem yourself). Your failure to lead the Democratic Party. Your failure to work to restore America to democracy: http://talkingpointsmemo.com/livewire/princeton-experts-say-us-no-longer-democracy

You, Barack Obama, might have been a hero of sorts to TRUE Conservatives. Instead, you served your corporate masters and the Parasite One Percent.

You are the reason our sacred democratic institutions are now being overrun by barbarians and looters.

Seriously, Barack Obama, SHUT UP — we’re not paying to hear your neoliberal blandishments. And, on that note: good luck selling them to Goldman Sachs and your many other corporate puppet masters now that the last grains of your sandcastle presidency have been swept away. You’ve wasted our time and shortened our lives, Barack Obama, YOU COMPLETE AND TOTAL FAILURE.

Exactly how a sandcastle presidency ends — deservedly. Talking pathetically about nothing, having been too craven to actually achieve anything. It wasn't Obama’s many enemies. It was, precisely, his own morals — their lack.

For African Americans, Obama’s presidency had been largely defined by his reluctance to engage with the ways that racial discrimination was blunting the impact of his administration’s recovery efforts. Obama has not shown nearly the same reticence when publicly chastising African Americans for a range of behaviors that read like a handbook on anti-black stereotypes, from parenting skills and dietary choices to sexual mores and television-watching habits.

There is something disingenuous in focusing on poor and working-class black people without any discussion about the ways that the criminal justice system has “disappeared” black parents from the lives of their children.

When Obama talks about absentee black fathers, he never mentions the disparity in arrests and sentencing that is responsible for the disproportionate number of missing black men. Few media discussions about Obama’s candidacy mentioned curbing the nation’s criminal justice system’s voracious appetite for black bodies: a million African Americans are incarcerated, and one in four black men between 20 and 29 are under the control of the criminal justice system.
