Obama takes veiled swipe at Bernie/Warren/AOC’s policies that are “not rooted in reality.”

He was right wing.

His primary policy after passing the heritage foundation healthcare plan was to cut the deficit by lower social security payments. The freedom caucus stopped him because his plan wasn't extreme enough.

Beforehand he helped bail out the loaning market with a cash stimulus that gave private equity firms more capital to speculate on cheap housing prices. They drove up the price for public goods like land value in the same way forcing costumers onto the largest insurance companies allowed drug manufacturers to jack up prices.

Health insurance costs and housing costs relative to average wages went up under Obama just like he planned.

He got more people into the credit/loan market so that investment in debt by wall street was more attractive entrapping millions of broke home buyers. His billionaire friends made a killing under his administration as the stock market boomed and his market first policies allowed private entities to pay a larger portion of the tax incomes.

His friends were lobbyists, he hated the left wing movement; he hated Podemos, Lula, Morales, and all the rest. He wanted a center right neo-liberal world order.

He funded right wing governments like Saudi Arabia and Israel to commit genocide in the middle east, he turned Libya into a slave market and killed 90% civilians with his illegal international drone policy.

The guy was insanely right wing but democrats are brainwashed into thinking he was the good guy and republicans are taught that he wasn't extreme enough (which is ridiculous).

Our political spectrum is deranged if we think Obama is the left and Romney is the right. Obama was an extreme right wing president and his policies showed that.

Its always "too fast" for Wall Street. Always. He made the speech at a "fundraising event". The super rich donor class control the puppets you vote for. And they're not satisfied with what they got. They want it all. They'll get it eventually. Next up will be privatization of Social Security and chipping away at Medicare. We cant "afford" it, we're told. A public option is likely a pipe dream as well considering how corrupt Congress is at the moment. Almost everyone in DC is swimming in cash from big pharma and the insurance racket.

The left wing is about labor and giving power over the economic system to workers.

Why, if that's the case, is Obama partying with wall street billionaires and lecturing democrats about moving 'too far left'.

I get it, you've been told by the media that Obama is the left. That's what the right wing media tried to portray him as. That's how your taught to see the world.

But everything, everything about this man and his record reflects a strong market first corporate presidency that increased imperial pressure in Afghanistan, India, Libya, Yemen, Israel, Syria, Somalia, Nigeria, Uganda, and Niger.

Some of these places not even Bush involved himself with. Humanitarian groups were begging Obama not to give arms to the Ugandan government to confront Kony since he was no longer a factor and the government just wanted the extra funds. He didn't listen and the government bombed a bunch of villages and killed a few kids.

The same story can be repeated in Niger. In Yemen the Obama administration tried to get Hadi's government to imprison journalists who were speaking up against America's drone policy.

Why would any of this happen if Obama was an anti-imperialist progressive who hated private wealth? Why? Please tell me, I would really like to know?
