Can someone explain to me what the hell happened to Barack Obama once he became President? I'm genuinely curious as to what happened.
>promises to fundamentally change American politics
>doesn't change shit
>promises not to take special interest money
>takes special interest money
>promises not to have lobbyists in his government
>has lobbyists in his government
>promises to close Guantanamo
>doesn't close Guantanamo
And on and on and on it goes. Couldn't Obama have won without taking money from Wall Street etc? He had the country by storm and could have gotten millions in donations from people.
I just don't get it. Was it all a lie? Comparing campaigning Obama and President Obama is like night and day. Completely different person.
>He thought politicians were his friend
If ancient Sumner can figure it out so can you.

OP just found out that:
>Politicians lie to get votes
>Politicians can't do what they want because democracy doesn't work like this
>Politicians change view even minutes after speeches and interviews
That's politics my britbong friend.

No, that's politics in America. Country is fucked beyond belief.
>>76879898
You're right. Only in America will politicians lie and not fulfill their campaign promises. It's doesnt happen anywhere else in the world ever.
>>76879898
This, politicians in other countries are completely honest.
>>76879106
Because those decisions aren't the president's job you fucking idiots. Those are done by the congress.

Let's not forget "the most transparent administration in history" lmfao

giant sneaky cunt
He barely edged out his competiton. He wins 50-49-1 elections.
Fact is that he just doesn't give a shit about America and doesn't care about anyone but himself. He is the kind of person who can smoke weed in college, tell jokes about it, and then use federal resources to send college age marijuana users to prison .
He also isn't a smart man. He refuses to release his SAT scores, because he knows this can be extrapolated to find his IQ.
Don't expect anythung from anyone with an IQ less than 140.

He could use executive order to shift DEA resources away from marijuana and toward harder drugs.
He was directly implicit in shutting down dispensaries thst were 100% state legal.
There is plenty he can do without a vote. He just didn't do any of it.
