Obama's Legacy Is Gonna Be (Too) Hard For The Fluffers To Accept

I get it when some black folks get bent when Obama's presidency is discussed rationally.  It's completely understandable--being the first black president ain't nothing, it's an important milestone in American history.  Yes.  But Obama fluffers of all colors will never admit what the better, saner, smarter folks can see clearly, that Obama has been a rock-ribbed establishment conservative from the start of his presidency.  Rahm Emanuel.  Larry Summers.  Eric Holder.  Hillary Clinton.  Tim Geithner.  Peter Orzag.  These were just some of the people he brought (back) into power.  How did he handle the Bush/Cheney/Rumsfeld/Wolfowitz war crimes?  Torture?  The financial industry?  Health care?  The stimulus?  Gun control?  In each and every case he supported the ruling class and the status quo, from protecting the health insurance industry to continuing to torture and kill as Bush and Cheney had done.  This is not a great presidency.  If he's remembered respectfully for being the first black president, who had to deal with the racists and teabaggers and other fringier than fringe assholes far more conservative than he himself was, as Michael Moore has said, well that's about all he can hope for at this point.
