I am assuming that Obama, as I noted,
was looking for an automatic legacy.
20 years from now, he'll be remembered as:
"the black POTUS who freed the Tranny."
As Republicans are all "law and order, as long
as it's not applied to them," the fact that a
traitor transexual (for added bile) was
pardoned, has lit up their conservative hineys.
Obama also got revenge for their killing of
Obamacare.
Two solid reasons.

I'm not American anyway.
Nevertheless, I have a few thoughts on what a
U.S. president, during the Banking Wars, should
have done, like solving the Runaway TBTF
Banks problem, which he didn't even touch.
The main reason, as you'll hear below, is that
he was funded by some of the worst banksters.
That's how he got elected.
Point 1 is, I think the fact that everybody,
worldwide, gave Obama an easy ride, because
the first black president of the world's super-
power, was a big thing. Only the crazy birthers
went at him, led by POTUS45 Donnie Trump
who tried to cut BO down. The Birthers were
prolly mysticists thinking that a guy named
Hussein was the living spirit of Sadam, whom
they had decapitated by accident in an Iraqi jail
on the way to being hung.
Everybody else cut Obama a lot of slack. And I
think that Smooth-talking Barrack knew that
he was going to get an easy ride. And he took
it real easy, even when he had congress on his
side for the first 2 years.
Maybe Eddie Murphy was right. Maybe the first
black Prez has to watch his back or else he'll get
shot.
we all know how MLK ended up. There was a photographer
friend of the pastor who was on the Agency pay,
telling the 40 agents where MLK was at all times.
All they had to do was find a stupid cracker who
was all too happy to shut up a righteous man
FOR GOOD.
No such threat to the O family.
The commentators that I follow didn't give him
an easy ride, but he did get an easier ride than
Bush. We all thought, "wow , a POTUS with
a brain will fix all of Bush43's mistakes." He
did none of that. Eight million people lost
their homes due to fraudulent robo signing
that we have all seen proof of, and yet
O's DOJ brother was a brother of the Banking
Clan, and is now back working there. So,
no jail.
Obama was a good spokesman, as far as
presidents go. A spokesman for big oil,
for frackers, for banks, and the other
troublemakers. Towards the end, it seemed
to me that he was a programmable wind-up
toy. The words that seemed to be coming
out of his mouth seemed to be Boardroom-
Speak. So, oligarchs may have not only
told him what to do, but the exact words
to say.
I look at his fracking speeches. Total Exxon-Lingo
So, either O is stupid (not) or he's a
puppet. "we're the Saudi of Gas." He
knows it's not profitable, not safe, but
there you go.
Now, I'll show a few commentators having a go
at Obama for your entertainment.
There's Jimmy Dore, whom I've recently tripped over.
He is one of the Aggressive Progressives on the
Young Turks. I noticed his own show when I
was looking for Prof Mark Blyth. Dore is funny,
articulate and he really seems to get annoyed
with the bullcrap that politicians feed us. I
respect that greatly. He has podcasts if you
google his name.
There's also Cenk Uygur who has a good
memory for Obama's flaws. He also has
a segment by Michael Moore, who asks
Obama (through the tv screen- if you
understand) "How will you be
remembered"
A shot right to the Ego.
Here was one sort of legacy:
Obamacare was a sop to the Insurance
companies and Big Pharma, and so 20
million people got health care, but now
it's too expensive for many of them.
The above dynamic duo has put up
the premiums (especially in areas
with only one provider- i.e. Monopoly-
the Game that Hurts the Poor) by
up to 100%.
But, it had his name on it, thanks to the
Republicans, who were trying to insult him.
He said "I'll take that." Of course, it has
just been erased from the books by the
lame duck congress. Trump was going to
change it anyway. His ideas seemed really,
how shall I say this, progressive. Trump's
ideas.
Negotiating a better price on drugs
for Medicare? Dead easy and yet it will
be seen as Communism by Big Pharma.
Anyway, as Cenk says, any president wants
3 things: to be elected. to be re-elected. to
have a legacy.
I'm going out on a limb here and say that
with Obamacare gone, Obama's only
big legacy is the Nobel he won, which
just encouraged him to bomb 26000
people to death in 2016, for one example.
O knows that for 20 years, all you gotta
put together is two words to bring howls
of laughter:
Obama & Nobel
the pre-emptive Nobel
for the pre-emptive droner
Although he has jailed more whistleblowers
using the Espionage Act than
all other presidents combined, he may go
soft in this last week. I think
he might be forced to give clemency to
Chelsea Manning, for his own legacy.
As for Manning, well done for your work,
and for choosing a name for your new
sex that will likely piss off the Clintons.
I think he'll get clemency, largely because
of a package deal with Freddie Charles, namely
Snowden and Assange in a court room near you,
in the US.
I think Snowden has said he would be willing
to be rammed through court and jailed.
Assange, for his part, always wanting the
limelight, went too far.
He was wanted for extradition to Sweden for
trumped up charges that haven't even been
laid yet. But, he's been hiding in the Ecuadorian
embassy in London, fearing that Sweden, that
secret NATO member and US lacky, would
wrap him up in a plastic blanket and deliver
him in the back of C130 straight to GITMO.
So, Assange goes that extra step further by
offering to be extradited to the US.
If you follow, he hasn't been sought for
extradition to the US yet. So, he's jumping
the gun, that knob. Like in that Tarantino
movie: "you can torture me all you want..."
which gets the response "ya. torture. good idea."
