I wonder sometimes how much of a failure Obama might feel as he leaves office. Obama was at ground zero when the inequality bombs fell. I read about it (after the fact) but he was there. As a community organizer he had zero power. So he sought power. He became fucking president. And yet, he accomplished near bupkiss. He couldn't know. When he started out he embarked on a list of objectives that were remarkably similar to my own "stretch goals" and he accomplished most of them--rating an "A" grade. Yet he was a failure, because he did not do what needed to be done, but not for lack of effort or skill--but because of the times. In my opinion, no political figure could have accomplished was needed during the last term--not even Lincoln or Washington.
Roy is gone, none still live who remember the the origins of the last 4T. We are truly in the Xenakis zone.
