you maybe entitled to your opinion but John Pilger is a respected academic with many peer reviewed papers to his credit.
However this discussion is digressing greatly into personalities.
My original point and a valid one is that Obama has made many promises and achieved none of them.

And that is the point BB – the whole existence of nothingness but platitudes and pointless gibber, now known as politics of envy, and a dialectical mess that will cause catastrophic consequences on the western world.
And when it is gone- Then What?

That is the indicator of how far gone , and the deterioration of the populations Intellect , when pathological liars and reality devoid morons are launched to positions of absolute authority and power by virtue of their values that equal nothing - Not by ability and knowledge , but by Con and deceit .

It was the Undepravdom that created this mess, demanding more wealth without value or ethics, and what is Undepravdom? The pretentious Union who claimed to be the workers voice, when it is a Proletariat Con.
And what is Obama?
A Con.

Where in history have we seen that plaid out?
