Barack Obama’s new memoir, A Promised Land, bills itself as “a riveting, deeply personal account of history in the making—from the president who inspired us to believe in the power of democracy.” (Snip)
So okay, now that Barack Obama is firmly and forever instantiated among the one percent, we might ask: What does A Promised Land have to say about, for instance, income inequality and high-end financialism? This is a particularly pertinent question because much of Obama’s presidency was defined by his relationship with Wall Street, including the bailouts, the cost of which a 2010 estimate put at $14.4 trillion.

Pinkerton on Obama: A fox, per Machiavelli. Good at avoiding traps. No good for much of anything else. No courage.
We know who the lion is...

FTA:
The life of a fox might be long, and yet it most likely won’t be consequential. The ability to avoid traps is not the test of greatness.

In case anyone is wondering why the stock market broke 30,000 last week, even with the possibility of a Biden presidency and socialism on the horizon, don’t forget that way back in 2009, Smidgen put Biden in charge of distributing that 900 plus billion dollar stimulus. Does anyone outside of Wall Street, Smidgen or Fingers know where all that cash went?

We've experienced two extremes... Ozero the traitor and Trump the savior. I believe every state should be examined and only the legal votes counted. We deserve to have a conservative, capitalistic House and Senate as well as the executive. Why all this talk of "fair & balanced" when the Left is so evil?? We saw how "fair" they were on election night.

I don't need to read his puff piece since I already know the camel got his nose in the tent; then we gave him the keys to the American kingdom. Thanks, EO the P!

Hussein still doesn't want Americans to see his college records, or any of his other records from his sordid past. Trump iis bringing back the effective types of execution. I say put Hussein's on PPV and pay off the national debt. Then go find Brennan. Then the Clintons. Then Strozk. Then Page. Then Rice. Then...

Another story, written by a 3rd party, covering all his successes that didn't happen and his failures that were never his fault. This Kenyan Loincloth gave away trillions to businesses and unions that were supposed to fail and Trump spent trillions to fix Doorknob's mistakes. His book is a recommended read to those who desire to experience emotional rape and years of social-economic assault under his regime.

Careful with buying into that little utopia thing that Obie and the left promises. Sure, for now, the DOW30 may hit 32,000 in early 2021. But, this is a sucker bet. The markets will crash next spring. Don't wait for this before you decide to act. Protect your investments now. The 2008 financial downturn and the market crash last March of this year, and the December before that were just a few test drives.
There will be no promised land. Not for a good while.

Buried halfway through the story: this 800-page, loving navel-gaze is VOLUME 1 and ends in 2011. There's another behemoth of BS in the making.

Sorry, barack hussein, but most of us still don't believe in the power of democracy. We know it has power. The power of the mindless mob. We don't live in a democracy. We have a constitutional republic... if we can keep it.

I can't bear to look. I only wish he hadn't been promised this land by the puppetmaster.
Remember, we are only pawns in a social experiment.

Look, if Obama was that good, he would not have been caught. It took Trump's attorneys only seven days to figure out what Big Ears did. Everything from lockdowns, elderly deaths, voter fraud is pointing at him. It will catch up with him.

I'd say Obama is more like a Machiavellian weasel.

I don't need to read a book being supported by critics spinning this squirrel pawed, stair stepping, gay obsessed, low IQ, lazy, golf playing idiot I already know it all. Who is this 'machiavellian crapweasel' with all this brilliance trying to fool?
