Cornel West's Continuing Feud with Barack Obama

"Black puppet" and "black mascot" are in keeping with West's anthology of insults

According to West himself, President Obama betrayed him on two counts after his election. The first was personal. It all started with a mix-up over inauguration tickets. Obama became increasingly hard to track down after his election but came through with a ticket for West. Tickets for West's mother and brother were nowhere to be found, and the three ended up watching the event from their hotel room. West told Hedges:

What it said to me on a personal level was that brother Barack Obama had no sense of gratitude, no sense of loyalty, no sense of even courtesy, [no] sense of decency, just to say thank you. Is this the kind of manipulative, Machiavellian orientation we ought to get used to? That was on a personal level.

'The president was hard to track down after his election.' I know, he hadn't been sworn in yet, but could CW put his hurt feelings about tickets aside and see something other than himself? We were on the brink of a great depression. Pretty sure Obama was prepping before he took office.
