I'm compiling my two threads & articles into one.
Interesting to read a perspective that differs from the typical Hillary-Obama versus Trump electoral split.
Former Lifelong Democrat Admits "Obama Is A Failed President"
http://www.zerohedge.com/news/2016-1...iled-president
"Obama is a failure not because he wasn’t sufficiently conservative or ‘Christian' (as Republicans had constantly accused him of having been), but instead because he wasn’t sufficiently progressive (nowhere close to being a progressive) — and, in many ways, he was actually far more conservative than any of his duplicitous campaign-rhetoric had pretended him to be.
Obama’s failure was all his own — it’s not because of the good things that Republicans had blocked him from doing; it is instead because of the horrible things (such as his failed TPP, TTIP and TISA trade-treaties, and his successful 2011 killing of Gaddafi, and 2014 coup in Ukraine) that were central to his actual agenda — a conservative, even reactionary, agenda, which favored the interests of the hundreds of billionaires who control U.S.-based international corporations, above the interests of the 300+ million American people, whom the U.S. President is supposed to be serving."
---------------------------------------
The article then goes on to mention some of the reasons why they consider this to be so
(these are my own bullet points, not quotes):
1.Internal policies
- Having come into power right after the 2008 crash, one would have been expected am increase in financial institutions fraud investigations or prosecutions to increase. Yet they dsoared.
- Despite the economic gains, the level of inequality remained the same instead of de decreasing as one might expect after an economic crash.
- The "alternative work arrangements (as in americans who are involuntary working part-time) account for a large part of his economic growth.
Raise in poverty in house districts
- Doubling of federal debt
2.His failed TPP, TTIP and TISA trade-treaties
3.Foreign politics
- he contributed to the destructions of Lybi. and Syria, leading to an enormous number of civillians who were either killed or became reffugees
- Honduras: he kept in power the junta-regime which caused an increase in murder rate and hundreds of thousands of Hondurans to flee to the States
