THE HUCKSTER SAYS HE'S BACK! - BARACK OBAMA SHOWS UP IN CHICAGO AIMING TO BUILD HIS MUSLIM-STYLE DICTATORSHIP

AMERICA’S BLUDGEONED YOUTH: Homeless, Hopeless and Addicted…. Will they start the revolution?




"Public education as a whole came under brutal attack as part of the Obama administration’s effort to shift the burden of the financial crisis onto the backs of the working class."


"This is not surprising. As a presidential 

candidate in 2008, Obama appealed to young 

people with empty promises of “hope” and 

“change,” only to oversee an enormous 

transfer of wealth to the rich, unending war 

and the further destruction of democratic 

rights."



Obama returns to Chicago to promote “civic engagement”
By Kristina Betinis

In his first public appearances since leaving the White House, former President Barack Obama made two stops in Chicago, his former home, to urge young people to become involved in politics and community life. Both were small, closely managed affairs with little public interaction, and the proceedings at times veered into the absurd.
Obama’s first public event was held on Sunday in the neighborhood of Roseland, where he was invited by his former secretary of education Arne Duncan to speak with young men on reducing gang violence. In a widely-publicized event at the University of Chicago Monday, Obama led a discussion among six Chicago area high school and university students and an invited audience.

Obama’s statements revealed the immense disconnect between the Democratic Party and the vast majority of the population, in particular those he was purportedly aiming to reach.
Post-presidential mythmaking is in full swing, and Monday’s event had moments of unintended humor. The student who introduced Obama, Richard Omoniyi-Shoyoola, compared Obama’s life to those of Frederick Douglass and Theodore Roosevelt.
Obama spoke to his young aspiring political operatives on stage with him: “The single most important thing I can do is to help in any way prepare the next generation of leadership to take up the baton and to take their own crack at changing the world.”
Obama’s appearance is in line with the Democratic Party’s effort in the wake of the 2016 elections to somehow bolster support for the Democratic Party and the political system as a whole. Vermont Senator Bernie Sanders is currently touring the country with Democratic National Committee chair Tom Perez for the same purpose.
What was most striking about Obama’s appearance was its political impotence. This is not surprising. As a presidential candidate in 2008, Obama appealed to young people with empty promises of “hope” and “change,” only to oversee an enormous transfer of wealth to the rich, unending war and the further destruction of democratic rights. The resulting widespread disillusionment with the Democratic Party and official politics helped Trump win the presidency last November.
In referring to the numerous social problems young people face, Obama had strikingly little to say: “Yes, we confront a whole range of challenges, from economic inequality and lack of opportunity, to the criminal justice system to climate change to issues related to violence. All those problems are serious, they’re daunting, but they’re not insoluble. What is preventing us from tackling them and making more progress really has to do with our politics and our civic life.”
Obama made the claim that the political situation is being made worse by individualism, which has undermined involvement in civic groups like Rotary Club or Parent Teacher Associations. Apparently all the problems in the world will be solved if only more people go to PTA meetings.
He attributed the political divisions in the US to special interests, gerrymandered districts and apathetic young people. Rather than acknowledge that whole swaths of the population are alienated from official politics because it serves social interests hostile to their own, Obama suggested that it is, in part, American disinterest in politics that is to blame: “When I said in 2004 that there were no red states or blue states, there are United States of America, that was an aspirational comment … [O]bviously, it’s not true when it comes to our politics and our civic life, and maybe more pernicious is the fact that people just aren’t involved. They get cynical, and they give up.”
A recent survey published by Runaway Inequality Educational Network indicates that significant majorities of respondents 18 to 40 years old support a radical transformation of social life in America to include heavily subsidized health care, free education, higher taxes on financiers, increased workplace rights, citizenship rights for immigrants and prison reform, among other social improvements.
Obama, who could speak in no meaningful way to any of these issues, is far removed from the conditions and problems most young people in Chicago and across the United States confront. The Obamas have 

spent the last several months 

vacationing on super-yachts and at 

posh tropical resorts with some of the 

world’s wealthiest entertainment 

businessmen and stars, including 

David Geffen, Richard Branson, Oprah 

Winfrey and Bruce Springsteen.
Widely noted in the press was the fact that Obama said nothing in either of his appearances about Trump. He only indirectly referred to the issues of immigrant deportation and the Democratic Party’s losses in the 2016 elections. This was reported to have created some tension at the University of Chicago event, and the question-and-answer period was cut short after just two questions.
Obama reportedly said his silence on Trump is modeled on George W. Bush’s decision not to criticize Obama after Bush left office. What it clearly reflects is the unanimity within the ruling class on basic issues of policy, however bitter the divisions may be on certain matters—and in particular on foreign policy. After Trump’s election, Obama declared that the elections were merely an “intramural scrimmage” and that “we’re all on the same team.”
At least this much was true.

THE LEGACY OF BARACK OBAMA:

Final Death of the 
American White Middle Class


Under the Obama administration, more Americans have found 

themselves consigned to economic ghettos, living in 

neighborhoods where more than 40 percent subsist below the 

poverty level.


Millions more now live in “high poverty” districts of 20-40 

percent poverty, according to recently released report by the 

Brookings Institution.


THE OBAMA BOOK DEAL: Sixty-five million 

dollars—or even $267.5 million—is a small price 

to pay for the contribution the former president 

made to enriching the already fabulously rich, 

defending the American ruling elite’s geopolitical 

interests around the world and continuing the 

assault on the wages, benefits and living 

standards of the working class.

The new reports show that in addition to “traditional” coping strategies of skipping meals and eating cheap food, these teens and pre-teens are increasingly forced into shoplifting, stealing, selling drugs, joining a gang, or selling their bodies for money in a struggle to eat properly.

After his billionaire vacay, Obama cashes in at the speech trough




For ordinary Americans, the one way you draw a $400,000 paycheck is to do something to create value.  This is the story of very hardworking small businesses everywhere.  As one wag put it several years ago in a book title, the first $20 million is the hardest.
Then there's Obama, fresh off his billionaire vacation over in Tahiti at Marlon Brando's exclusive hideaway estate, now drawing his first $400,000 paycheck for a...speech, from Wall Street firm Cantor Fitzgerald.  Cue the music:
We're in the money, come on, my honey
Let's spend it, lend it, send it rolling along
Nice work if you can get it.  And Obama is far from the only ex-official who's done it.  The Bush family was the first group of politicians I was aware of that played this game.  My savvy auto executive uncle in Michigan explained to me as a kid that this was very likely a disguised sort of bribery.
Obama has just demonstrated a capacity to take whatever this is to new heights.  So much for this guy being a man of the people or devoting himself to mentoring young black men and returning to community organizing or his daughter Sasha in his post-presidency, as he had claimed at the end of his term.  Nope, it's all about cashing out and getting rich on unearned income now, something he didn't want to tell the reporters when he was exiting office.  Not exactly the "gone fishin'" relaxation of a real retirement, either.
The bigger question to ask may be what Cantor Fitzgerald got in return for its $400,000.  Was it an expectation that Obama's minions would be returned to power, and an expectation of being remembered for their emoluments, or was it a payoff for some favor the Obama administration did during his presidency?  A good investigative reporter should probably check into this.
As for the rest of us, well, compare and contrast how we make our $400,000 paychecks, all the pious talk from Obama during his presidency about how we all "work hard," now coming up against this rich wastrel picture.  He's not adding value.  He's collecting rents.
Had enough?
