The president helped end the “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell” policy that locked LGBT military service members in the closet. During his 2012 campaign, he reduced deportations of undocumented youth who came to the U.S. as children. But, with few other exceptions, his actions have served the wealthy elite and expanded the attacks on working people pushed by G. W. Bush.

[h=3]Immigration: the Iron Curtain border[/h]Obama has deported more immigrants than predecessor Bush. “We put more boots on the ground on the southern border than at any time in our history,” boasts his official website.
His “reform” proposal includes more border militarization — to be implemented before a supposed path to citizenship opens up for undocumented immigrants. That path is barricaded with high fines and fees, and years of waiting, with social services denied in the meantime.
His mandatory electronic employment verification system, E-Verify, would require all U.S. workers to prove authorization to work. In other words, it is a national ID system.
Low-income “guest workers,” would be deported after 60 days of unemployment, virtually guaranteeing most would be too fearful and desperate to risk their jobs by speaking up for their rights or engaging in union organizing.

These are samples of Obama’s ugly record. Other areas, from labor and the environment to reproductive rights, reveal that dumping a Republican for a Democrat doesn’t work. What does is building a movement for fundamental change.

Obama a progressive? Or anything left of a liberal is a joke. Obama is nothing but a right wing Democrat such as Clinton. In reality he is not a lefitst but a right wing democrat.

 
interesting

he is said to be muslim socialist

l am glad he is just a democrat

l cant imagine what would happen to him if he was a socialist islamist :mrgreen:
 
I'll just call him same platform as Clinton, Blair and all the "champagne socialists" / "Limousine Liberals".
All politicians are awful anyway.
