It’s the 20-year anniversary of this piece — I spent a day with Barack Obama & wrote this article that generated the most feedback of any article I’ve written in my whole life. At the time, I was berated for writing it. But I’m proud of it — it predicted everything that subsequently happened.

TLDR? Obama proved a fraud: while victims of his selling out have suffered for decades—plaintiffs denied class action status, debtors crushed by credit card predators, ppl tortured at Gitmo, & many more—he’s having brunch on Martha’s Vineyard.

Exactly. He's not only a big disappointment, he's actually done everything in his power to crush any leftist movement. All of that negates any good he may have done as president. And yet, everyone still thinks he's a God. If anyone dares speak the truth, they're called Trumpers. Grrrrrr.

Thank you. You did the right thing. Telling the truth is never wrong. My apologies to you for the VBNMW cult posting on your FB post with this article. Obama's (and Biden's) legacy is Trump. Sad, but true. Thankfully, more leftists are winning races across the USA, and might put a stop to MAGA.
