He succeeded in what he set out to do: give a nice face to American imperialism.
And I admit, Obama had charisma and was a proper statesman, in stark contrast to what came before and after. But most policies, with single exceptions like Medicaid, were standard neoliberal bullshit. And he didn’t stop the machine from going to where it is now, which is his biggest failure in my opinion.
Genuinely surprised seeing the Obama love here.
I guess the past decade has really made people forget the actually bad things he did.
