Obama is a hero because he did the impossible, a Black guy becoming president was not believable until he did it. I mean overwhelmingly unbelievable, that's just a major extremely difficult accomplishment and he did that shyt. I will always give him his on that.
But running for office Obama is different from governing Obama and he is a triangulating centrist still trying to meet in the middle with Republicans. Thomas Frank said it best in his book "Listen Liberal", when you go on these Ivy league campuses you got Dem and Republican thinkers there trying to define what is intellectual, like a consensus from both sides that must seem cool while you are there. Rs front like it is all about intellectualism and making great arguments and you will get fairness from them. A lot of Dems fall for that shyt who rolled in those circles even if that's not the class or the ethnic background they come from. But when you get to the real world that shyt is out the window, yer just another poor niqqer to them no matter what you accomplish or how much money you get. It seems he just came to that realization too late and that must be stinging dude right now. The guy is brilliant but just not as brilliant as he thinks he is.
