Another report (maybe you you've heard of?) is almost 7k pages long and details how, as Obama put it, "We tortured some folks". I don't have a link to that quote, but it is burned into my memory. Who says that about torture and proceeds to prosecute no one for it? No, he went after the whistle blowers. The CIA was found to have lied to the media about torture programs, but Obama went after those who told the truth like he was Samuel Jackson in pulp fiction- with great vengeance and furious anger. Then he subserviently promoted James Clapper who boldly lied to congress. Obama always served the power structure, ripping away as many rights as he could with causing too much backlash. He knew people like you would just shrug their shoulders at torture, at big brother, at "signature strike" droning, or whatever other flexes of elite power were on the agenda.
Are you still, a decade later, so enthralled with the carefully vacuous imagery and slogans of the Obama campaign that you can't see evil when it is right in front of your face doing evil?
