Excellent interview that you will not hear on RTE or any mainstream media.
This week Eric Draitser welcomes back to the show Yvette Carnell and Pascal Robert for a retrospective look at Barack Obama's presidency: the lies and the crimes, the sell-job and the sell-out. Eric, Yvette, and Pascal discuss how Obama will be remembered by Americans, and especially Black Americans, as well as his image and legacy around the world. The conversation touches on everything from Obama as Wall Street's creature to his committment to conservative politics to Obama as precursor to Trump. Yvette Carnell argues that we have now entered the period of post-Hope politics, and it's hard to disagree. Pascal calls Obama neoliberal confectioners sugar, and it's hard to disagree. Check out this week's CounterPunch Radio for some real analysis on Obama's legacy - we promise it's better than Trump's twitter feed.
