Theft at both domestic and global levels using militarism and financial extortion. Unite liberals, independents and leftists to replace u$a's elites with the socialistic models of public ownership of utilities, core businesses; worker ownership of large corporations, expelling private monies from politics. Make reparations to correct a history of theft of domestic communities and nations u$a has exploited. That's fulfilling the representative govt dreamed of / conceived of by the best thinkers of the day. Corporations are the new church ... and both serve elitism, which destroys everything it touches.

Today, Native American population is 15 million, while the European population, in the Continents of America + Europe, is a staggering TWO BILLION! A shocking sad truth. 😔 In my humble opinion, it's about time to decolonize the Colonized lands, and return it to rightful owners Native American people.

Is there a part two for his second term? I've been watching since the attack in Israel. I started with Netanyahu now im working my way up and i want to see the entire story line. Itd be nice to hear who influenced who during all these times. I know theres more to the story but pbs has done great with their past stories. No biased. It's organized and easy to understand. I want to hear about the possible conspiracies diring all this as well. Very interesting relationship with obama and Netanyahu especially with the money sent for aid.

I was a teenager during Obama’s tenure. I remember hearing his ideas on healthcare and thinking “why are people booing this?” “Why are people hating this?”. Obama did make some major mistakes during his time, he should have gathered from the first meeting with Republicans that they were corrupted by partisanship and would simply oppose him out of greed rather than principal. He should have walked out of that meeting and made it about how he presented his plan, but they didn’t even want to listen to it to help the American public. He should have been tough on the banks after the bonus fiascos. I respect the man for trying to work with people, but unfortunately people did not want to work with him. And from his presidency, the Republican Party learned that the best thing for themselves (not the American people) was to stonewall everything, yell the loudest, and throw tantrums to get what they want. Hell, the ACA is still here today because most Americans can’t survive without it- and it’s gutted compared to its original scope! Remember when the Republicans said that no God-fearing American would stand by a socialist institution? When they have, and they love it. The Republican Party is not the party of conservative idealism, it’s the party of crony political and capitalist families that wish to rule for the sake of ruling rather than helping this country be the best it can be.

@htimsxam 11 ай бұрын

Amen, brother. I was an idealistic twelve year old on the night he was first elected. Almost 27 now and couldn’t be more disappointed with the way things have gone. I think Obama is undeniably one of our better (best) presidents, but sadly he-at no fault of his own, I should say-paved the way for Trump and the mess we’re in now.

As an adult, I knew, personally, that when I no longer had job healthcare benefits the AFFORDABLE CARE ACT saved my life! Otherwise, I would have been denied healthcare coverage individually when I HAVE TO HAVE IT TO LIVE. That was the first and the last time, though, that I voted democrat and was proud of it. So sad to see how the party has gone so terribly WRONG since.
