Oliver Stone's new book rips President Obama

Oliver Stone? Really? Criticizing Obama? Yes, and here it is:

“The country Obama inherited was indeed in shambles, but Obama took a bad situation and, in certain ways, made it worse,” Stone and Kuznick wrote. “…[R]ather than repudiating the policies of Bush and his predecessors, Obama has perpetuated them.”

Obama’s election “felt like a kind of expiation for the sins of a nation whose reputation had been sullied, as we have shown throughout this book, by racism, imperialism, militarism, nuclearism, environmental degradation and unbridled avarice,” they wrote.

But on subjects from Wall Street reform to health care to Afghanistan, Stone and Kuznick rip Obama for breaking campaign promises and continuing the policies of President George W. Bush — who’s roundly condemned throughout the book. In some instances, they write, Obama went further than Bush’s White House toward anti-progressive policies.

Obama didn't perpetuate the Bush policies; he doubled down on them !

Stone is a fucking idiot, just like the other socialists who think Obama was a failure because he wasn't left enough.

There are a lot of defections on the left.

Even netroots activist Matt Stoller is no longer on board.

Here he makes what he calls "the progressive case against Obama."

Quite notably, in my view, he holds Obama responsible for complicity in creating an increasingly unequal and unjust society.

And he manages to do so without even delving into the extent to which multiple iterations of QE have contributed to increased wealth disparity!

Yeah; I am waiting for Chavez and Castro to dump him.
