Obama boasts: “I’m surprised how much money I got”
(In his speech, Obama criticized the war against immigrants, making no acknowledgment of his own role in preparing it, including the deportation of more immigrants—2.7 million—than all previous administrations combined.
The central contention of his speech was advanced in the following sentence: “On Madiba’s 100th birthday, we now stand at a crossroads—a moment in time in which two very different visions of humanity’s future compete for the hearts and the minds of citizens around the world.”
This sentence contains two huge lies. The second is the claim that “citizens around the world” will have any say in the policies pursued by the various capitalist governments. The first is the claim that Obama’s empty and demagogic call for a “kinder and gentler” capitalism represents a fundamentally opposed and viable alternative to the far-right policies of Trump and similar right-wing populist regimes and parties around the world.
The reality is that Trump’s policies of war, social counterrevolution and authoritarianism are an extension, in a somewhat more extreme form, of the policies of the Obama administration. On these issues, the entire ruling elite and all of its parties are united, whatever the specific foreign policy questions over which they are presently brawling.)
Again the 1-2 punch Caitlin Johnstone refers to. The democrats set you up with the jab, then the republicans come in and knock you out with the uppercut and right cross. This dick should be part of the false Russian investigation into the DNC and Clinton crimes, rather than out drawing in his elite pay checks.
