    Man, where did the years go? As I write this, it's 2024 and I can't believe 20 years have passed in a blink. I remember him running for the senate, becoming my senator, and I remember the press he got including from this show. By the way, one of the 5 previous African American senators (Carol Mosely Braun) was also from the same neighborhood in Chicago as he was, and not that long before him either. Twenty years later, he's an elder statesman and he's only 63.

      He is also the upcoming global savior who will squeeze Israel and Christians when he finally reaches ultimate power by AI . The one who will pretend to be a Muslim but he is not . Who just wants support from Arab nations and the Muslim world to squeeze non-believers of Allah who happen to be Jewish and Christian

      Kinda glossing over the whole continuing of the war in Afghanistan, not closing GITMO, proliferation of secret spying of every Americans digital communications.. It feels good to like Obama but when you scrutinize his entire term it's a lot more complicated for a rational thinker. He was given the Nobel peace prize and his speech at the acceptance ceremony promoted slaughtering people all over the globe in project US dominance. When he came to the town of Flint after the water crises was exploding to national attention all he did was sip a tiny amount of water from a cup and say it was safe. Why didn't Obama use federal resources to help the people of Flint? Where was the Army Corps of Engineers -- they're literally among the most qualified people to fix a city's polluted water. After that stunt the US Army was authorized to use abandoned properties in Flint to conduct military exercises using live ammunition. Instead of helping fix Flint the Commander in Chief, Barack Obama, let the US military use the city for target practice for urban warfare exercises. instead of calling in the Army Corps of Engineers to give Americans drinking water.
      It's sick.
