Turning all the sincere dreams and votes for "hope and change" into ashes when it became clear whose agenda was being pushed over two terms and it wasn't the 99%.

Even as we speak he is teaming with Kasich to make a final push for the TPP. That about sums up the tenor of his entire administration.

But, we'll always have Lilli Ledbetter.

that she is even running*.

Besides, Obama will make more money when he leaves office if he has 'access' to the current president. Pay for Play baby.
It's not personal, Sonny. It's strictly business.

"That's a tough question, but we think it was worth it". (Madeleine Albright, under Bill Clinton, responding to the statement that 500,000 Iraqi kids had been killed because of U.S. sanctions on Iraq.)

He's able to talk like he's deserving of some kind of positive legacy and to top it off thinks that helping elect Clinton as President will help it.

Mind blowing.

his "poor me/my legacy" shit is going to sit well with AAs. We have several involved in our Union's political council and they figured out Obama's shuck and jive shit long before I did, like in his first year. They told me then, when we still had both houses of congress, that he ain't going to do shit and he's just another corporate lackey. They were right. My AAs Brothers and Sisters bullshit detectors are way better than mine and I think Obama's statement is going to piss them off. We have a meeting this week and it will be interesting to see where they're at on it....

He has been actively courting Black voters in the rust belt recently, framing it as "what has voting Democrat all these years really done for you?"

Sounds like it may be working a little.

under his presidency, Obama doesn't get to tell them what to do. He doesn't own the black vote just because he happens to be black. He hasn't done a thing to stop police brutality or curb institutional racism, except make a few flowery speeches to his rich friends. The symbolic power of an African American president lost all its meaning when he let American militarism and corporatism run unabated.

The Obama legacy is a joke. The only thing that could potentially salvage it is Hillary utterly destroying any credibility that the myth of "Obama the candidate" ever had, so that we don't have to deal with this neoliberal bullshit dressed in progressive rhetoric ever again.

just how many voting blocks the Democrats are entitled to.

Republicans don't talk like that.

he ain't seen nothing yet. I could top that sober... in theory.

Without getting into his own legacy and strictly from his viewpoint, he's now hostage to the scorned-by-him, duplicitous, corrupt, law-flouting, secretive, maniacal, money laundering, cabal of perpetual DC insiders who are hijacking the Democratic Party because "it's Her turn," simply and nothing more. That was the deal Barack had to make in 2008. The chickens have now come home to roost.

There's been plenty written about the bad blood between them. Her blatant flouting of her position as SoS to curry favors for the Clinton Foundation is a reflection of that and is not lost on Obama. Or maybe it is. His legacy, whatever it is, is now in the most conniving, self-serving hands who could care less about it.

Despite having a colluding media with assists from all the major social media outlets, conspiring operatives in the MSM who disregard the litany of offenses piled sky high while blacking out Bernie's historic, energetic people-powered campaign and party establishment attack dogs denigrating Sanders with classic RW whistles with every tool in their box at her back, she's run a horrible campaign. Because there's no getting around it. She is a terrible candidate. The majority of the country view deeply suspiciously and see as the reason why their lives keep getting worse. We all hated when the Bushes turned the keys over to their own family again, but we're ok with the Clintons? Monarchy just proves this country's vaunted democracy is a fraud.

It's clear how desperate the Obamas and the Dems are right now. They're reading the tea leaves, and watch every other day as the Clinton Cabal makes one clumsy misstep after another, further isolating themselves from the electorate.

In a reflection of this, the media is cryptically obsessed with Drumpf, desperately trying to do their all to reverse the tide of the Frankenstein monster they helped create in a big way.

I think all this desperation makes them look so much worse. Everybody but Windsock is out all over the country in proxy for her, but the voters rightly smell a rat.

It has to be so obvious to Obama, whose own campaign saw record numbers of voters and volunteers come out for him, that Hills just has nothing comparatively to offer the American People. She is so toxic and loathed. The faux feminism and LOTE crap is starting to and will continue to wear off.

For whatever it's worth, he's got to be livid behind the scenes.

and other MSM rags to gin up Donald stories like "Trump Had Love Child with Satan's Daughter" or "Trump Caught in No-Tell Motel in Times Square with David Duke" or "Trump Itching to Get His Little Hands on Nuclear Codes", there's nowhere else to go. By that point you are so debased, you might as well go to the No-Tell Motel and smoke crack.
