I mean, that's generally his political brand. The reality is, is that he's presided over this out-of-control system for five years and has never expressed a single inclination to rein it in in any way. So the fact that he's continuing it for as long as he can, I think, is the opposite of surprising. I mean, he is an advocate of this system over which he presided for so many years. I mean, I think he's one of the obstacles to reform, not a vehicle for it.
Before Obama was elected I was warning people on the internet not to fall for this phony black president 'change' bullshit. In today's totally corrupted environment they were not going to give the concession of the first black president without getting something greater in return. What Obama represents the most is the corruption of the democratic party and how it is so devoid of its previous democratic principles that it can now be used as firm ground by which to undermine those who still believe in it. America too for that matter.
