Promoted as must read a rant from some yahoo who was disappointed in Obama since his inauguration speech. Why? He didn't give us a villain! Seriously. The guy thinks what we needed was a "bedtime" type story because words. and more words.
Worse? He went after O's book, said it was missing the final chapter where he finally "resolves his identity". Seriously...
A somewhat less charitable explanation is that we are a nation that is being held hostage not just by an extremist Republican Party but also by a president who either does not know what he believes or is willing to take whatever position he thinks will lead to his re-election. Perhaps those of us who were so enthralled with the magnificent story he told in "Dreams From My Father" appended a chapter at the end that wasn't there - the chapter in which he resolves his identity and comes to know who he is and what he believes in.
I couldn't decide if the whole article was more racist or socialist but I did start to wonder if they'd been punked and it was parody.
I was definitely shocked Sanders was promoting it so strongly. Everyone remember the faces he pulled in the debate when Hillary reminded him he hadn't supported Obama strongly? Yeah, well I guess a few days shy of the Fox debate, he thinks a little more distance from a president who is, according to his recommended author, constrained by "his character".
