don't hate the guy and down the road, historically speaking, he will have a rich legacy. I am hugely disappointed in some of his corporate appeasing policies that are set out in many of the responses in this OP/thread, so I won't list in my response. He or his staff/administration are not perfect. A POTUS is a POTUS beholden to many FINANCIAL and political interests. We have a political system corrupted by the dollar bill. This fact will NEVER change. Color of this POTUS is not the problem just my disappointment in him not following through on some pretty important promises, just one, GITMO should be closed now!. His political appointments have left a lot to be desired, mostly corporation 1%ers. He is judged harshly because twice as much is expected of him because of his color, by many in this group as well as the public at large. You know, two mountains versus the one mountain analogy that Amerikkka has made the norm for any successful person of color. No color is not the problem. BIG MONEY is. Most major amerikkkan political figures are ruled by BIG MONEY interests. Period.
