That’s all.
The Progression of the Democrats in Power
- Obama campaigners in 2008:
"If you elect Obama, he'll do all this progressive stuff and change America!"
- Obama supporters in 2009:
"What did you expect, that he'd be able to change anything? Look at all the obstacles!"
- Obama campaigners in 2012:
"You have to give him more time, four years isn't enough to fix all the problems that Bush created!"
- Obama supporters in 2013:
"What did you expect? Everyone knows that a second-term president is a lame-duck president."
“You, who are so liberal and so humane, who have such an exaggerated adoration of culture that it verges on affectation, you pretend to forget that you own colonies and that in them men are massacred in your name.”
Jean-Paul Sartre, intro to Frantz Fanon’s Wretched of the Earth
I don’t have respect for the office of the presidency. I didn’t under Bush, and I don’t under Obama. We should be absolutely firm in our denunciation of race-based attacks against Obama and his family both personally and politically; that is to say, attacks Obama as a Black man and also the fallacious argument that he represents some nefarious “Black agenda.” However, that does not change the fact that the office of the presidency in its essence is one antithetical to social justice and people-power.
Anyone who is president of the United States is president of an empire, and by definition must promote capitalist, imperialist, and by extension racist, politics. The belief that not just Obama, but anyone, could create real change from that position is in my view incorrect. Obama is obliged by the nature of his job to attack other countries that oppose U.S. foreign policy. He is obliged by nature to prioritize the demands of the rich over the demands of the people. And he is obliged by nature to ensure that this wretched capitalist system continues forward unencumbered by those who demand a better world.
BAM. Hugo es el mejor denunciador de todos.
If you claim to be a progressive and believe that the most basic of human rights are worth fighting for then you need to organize to fight this president, not organize to get the asshole reelected.

Some comrades and I last week, minutes after forming the “Ad Hoc Coalition Against Obama on the West Side Highway,” and minutes before it was dissolved.
Context: The POTUS was visiting NYC and the pigs closed down the WSH in preparation. Luckily, the Brecht Forum is located on the WSH and we had enough notice to make an epic sign.
