I don't understand. Should we rule or judge the actions of people based on their skin or their social belonging or the church they attend or the religion or god they worship? Obama is a Black intellectual, but raised in one of the most prestigious universities in the US, backed as much for the big capital as for the humble people giving 5 dollars to his campaign. What does Obama to raise himself above all criticism? I am not a citizen of the IS, it means I didn't vote for him, but all my friends who voted for him did that because they believed in his will to change things, to erode old power structures. He failed, he failed to close Guantanamo, he didn't end the war in Irak, he merely switched soldiers between Baghdad and Kabul and left in Baghdad an embassy which is almost a complete city, as imperial as Saddams palaces (I know that, I was there last year, I saw with my own eyes the arrogance, the thousands of mercenary soldiers hired in Lima and Bogota, latino kids who didn't speak a word English, outsourced to Blackwater and all their goons and croonies). Obama is going to be a foot note in the history and it's a pity, a lot of good people had a lot of expectations.
