Should Obama be criticised from the left?

Yeah, absolutely. I think Obama seems like a pretty amazing guy personally, but as a President he lived to betray everything 2007 Obama believed in. Keeping up the 'third way' politics of the Clintons before him exacerbated the economic conditions that lead to Trump's election. The racial divide is more complicated and due to a lot of factors. The poor economy, a sense of alienation and broken hegemony in the working classes, and the militarization of police and mass incarcerations. All of this kind of work together to create he madness we have today.

But the big thing is economically, Obama was in the same wheelhouse as every President has been since Reagan. Inequality continued to grow under him and he dumped the treasury into the pockets of his biggest campaign donors within his first year in office.

I think people were expecting miracles and he accomplished some things and was unable to accomplish as much as some people wanted. I think people are desperate for change but they don't want to make the sacrifices it will take to make that happen. So the president is damned if you do and damned if you don't. The real change has to be voted in by our congress and senate and I don't see them doing much but lining their pockets

I thought it said circumcised. I need glasses.

Interesting point of view. But in all fairness, the wage gap has not stopped under Obama. It has widened. 8 billionaires currently own more wealth than half the world. This number was 40 just a few years ago...

The idea that you could draw a line from the banking crisis to predicting Trump strikes me as only plausible in the presence of vast quantities of brandy, or a nice hit of mescaline. Not that Obama can't be criticised for not insisting on prosecutions for banking fraud, but I don't see a cause & effect line there

The guy doesnt even get credit for stopping a war and earning the Nobel Peace prize...does that explain why it's so easy to criticize him? XD

that is a bad source
