Obama did not do “better” at home or abroad.Obama governed like a right-winger on steroids at home and abroad. And we are paying the price.
1. On Healthcare, because of Obama’s betrayals, we are now forced to pay ever-increasing amounts to insurance cartels who leave 31 million Americans without health care. Obama was more willing to compromise than he was willing represent the people who elected him. America is the only Western-industrialized democracy where transnational insurance cartels call the shots and determine the costs of health care.
2. On Immigration, Obama deported in excess of two million people, more than any president in history. He broke up families for no apparent reason. “Deportations have become so rampant that 61 percent of immigrant Hispanics said that deportation relief is more important than a pathway to citizenship.”
3. The banksters: ” He has not made bringing criminal bankers to justice a priority, and his administration was clearly a revolving door for Wall Street. The biggest and most dangerous banks—JPMorgan Chase, Bank of America, Citigroup, and Wells Fargo—are even bigger than they were 
before the crisis. Scarcely a week passes without news of some new abuse committed by these institutions.
Obama failed to support obvious measures to rein in Wall Street, such as the financial transaction tax, and Dodd-Frank has been mostly defanged. Banks have enjoyed special treatment and record-breaking profits during Obama’s tenure, while ordinary Americans have struggled.”
5. “Obama has done nothing but ramp up all forms of surveillance, from metadata capture to wiretapping to recording phone log information of American citizens.” He continues warrentless searches and is still sending Americans abroad for torture, rape and murder.
7. “The Trans-Pacific Partnership, a super-secret multinational corporate scheme sometimes described as ‘NAFTA on steroids,’ is one of Obama’s worst initiatives. …The refrain is always the same: profits come first. The necessities of the people and protection of the planet come last.”
9. Energy Policy and the Environment: The Obama administration has embraced hydraulic fracturing for oil and gas, and propped up a dying coal industry that’s killing us along with itself. “Also baffling and unacceptable is Obama’s green-lighting of the southern leg of the Keystone XL tar sands pipeline.” Instead of moving towards clean and sustainable energy, Obama has embraced the status quo.10. Obama, once seen as the anti-war candidate, has Bush soundly beat in the number of secret wars with unconventional forces spread across the globe. “In the waning days of the Bush presidency, Special Operations forces were reportedly deployed in about 60 countries around the world . . 
. In 2013, elite U.S. forces were deployed in 134 countries around the globe . . . This 123% increase during the Obama years demonstrates how, in addition to conventional wars and a CIA drone campaign, public diplomacy and extensive electronic spying, the U.S. has engaged in still another significant and growing form of overseas power projection. Conducted largely in the shadows by 
America’s most elite troops, the vast majority of these missions take place far from prying eyes, media scrutiny, or any type of outside oversight, increasing the chances of unforeseen blowback and catastrophic consequences.”

But everyday people can endure, survive and prevail by choosing peace over war.
Sadly, it’s all true. He let everyone down. But at the same time, it’s time for US Americans to wake up and stop putting their trust and hope in any figurehead who is mostly a front puppet for the deep state, corporatocracy, duopoly-establishment, and corrupt intelligence agencies. Both Reps and Dems are now beholden to the same corporate and bankster (and mil-ind-surveillance) interests. THE SAME. We, the people, matter little (because we’re so easily manipulated by rhetoric).
