Papantonio: Who Is Barack Obama?

During his 2008 campaign, Americans were positive that Barack Obama would lead the country into a new direction – one that was completely different from the 8 dark years of Republican rule before it. But 6 years into his presidency, very little has changed, and those campaign promises from 2008 are just a distant memory. Ring of Fire’s Mike Papantonio explains what happened with David Bromwich, author of the new book Moral Imagination.

Pap says he's an Indie...but was Huge Obama Supporter because of the stuff we'd lived through.

Worth the watch. We are still trying to figure out what's going on. Piece of the Puzzle.

I feel a bit choked up after this because Obama has been such a letdown. Excellent job sorting it out in this clip.

For me, Obama has done an excellent job in using the Drones on hope and change.

The REAL Obama preaches weaponized Christianity as good foreign policy, and claims Christianity is "under attack." It's all there in his 2014 appearance at the Prayer Breakfast at http://www.whitehouse.gov/the-press-office/2014/02/06/remarks-president-national-prayer-breakfast

Quite informative, connected a few dots that were hanging there. Ultimately depressing. We need to wrest control of the country from the R's & the corporate D's.
