Quote from Tsing Tao:
Obama could have done it, should he chose to do so. He had the power of the mob. He could have taken all that momentum and equity and chased out all the career politicians. He could have dug out all the corruption and set fire to everything that lobbyists have spent so much money building the last few decades. He could have put us on a path of wholesome economic growth - telling us that yes, we were in for some dark years but the other side of the tunnel held a light that we would reach. We just had to stay the course. He could have been remembered as the man who guided our country back to it's core principles - and what made it great in the first place - success built on sweat and hard work. The kind my grandfather used to talk about before he died last year.
Instead, it will now be a long, long time before another African-American is ever elected. No matter how good that person is, people will always, wrongfully, think of Obama. Obama, himself, will go into the history book as an absolute disaster (I am 100% confident of this). All the things he was going to change, he just piled on and made worse. Wall Street quickly bought him, and he put Bernanke back in place. Replaced Paulson with Timmy and Summers. Signed Dodd-Frank after watching it become completely overrun with lobbyists who twisted it how they wanted. Corruption blossomed under his watch, and he apologized to the wrong people, while alienating traditional friends of the country. Above all, he spent and spent and spent, and when he was done with that, he planned to spend some more. All the while blaming his predecessor for everything that happened negative - instead of owning up like a real man would and saying "Regardless of what was done in the past, the buck stops here, with me. I will assume blame for this, but we will make it right." Even Bush did that, horrible as he was.
