That’s probably why I drone out and roll my eyes listening to Barack speak these days… he still has a great voice but that is about it. The shell is the same but the heart and soul is gone.
Same with Bill, once he started flying on private jets and “hanging out” with young women he not only was longer inspiring, he was downright creepy. So bad that Hillary sidelined him in 2016.
The fact arguably the best Dem politician of our lifetimes doesn’t understand that politics isn’t about decorum and getting along is a perfect explanation of how we are where we are.
Obama and all other politicians in the back pockets of the banks and billionaires will never “understand” the reality of politics some day.
We should see clearly that they are complicit in the tightening of the vice like grip that oligarchs have on our lives; for the same reasons that we don’t trust Bernie Madoff’s accountant to uncover his ponzi scheme, and why Robert DeNiro fired his idiot employee in Casino . They were either too stupid to realize the con was going on, or they were in on it. Either way they’re out.
If Obama is anything he is a believer in the “West Wing” world of politics where everyone plays nice. I was putting the quote in that context in that he thinks protesting a president as they leave office isn’t playing nice.
