how can people take anybody on the left seriously. Everything they stand for is a facade. it's just pathetic.
This is the real point here and unsurprisingly no one (on either side) is actually making this point until now. Personally, I don't care that he's got a ton of money and is using it to live luxuriously and whatever environmental concerns there are are probably overblown. But these are the types of things Obama pretended to be against. I say good for him living good off of his hard work but I just hope he knows and accepts that he is not acting in a way that aligns with the policies he preached while in office.
Fun fact: You can be wealthy and still have a desire to help people in need through your policies.
The true hypocrite is the govt. official that is rich and promotes policies that help rich, then lies about trickle down economics and tells poor people that they are just being lazy. Or worse, that they are communists or socialists.
And now, the Obamas are reaping the rewards of being the servants of the neoliberal order. They are independently wealthy, building dream homes in HI and Martha's Vineyard and hobnobbing with celebrities.
It's such a joke. In the face of rising GOP fascism, the most influential, widely-adored man in Democratic politics left office and immediately cashed in. Made almost no pretense about it. I could tolerate the hobnobbing and dream house building if he were also doing good work, but what's he done over the last five years, other than helping to circle the wagons for Biden during the primaries and writing yet another memoir? He'd have done more for the common good if he'd spent all that time sitting in a bathtub painting doggies like W. At least he's taken some cool photos with The Boss! #YasKings

Thank goodness Obama hasn't set up a fraudulent charity in his name that robs cancer patients of intended donations and be fined 2 million dollars and prohibited from ever operating another charity ever again. That would be really bad.

So I should give Obama a pass because Trump is a demented cartoon villain?
Construction has been mired in controversy because the project used a planning loophole to retain a sea wall that is almost certainly causing beach erosion.
Trump doesn't go around saying "walls don't work" and/or fearmongering about the effects of climate change.
Are you seriously unable to recognize the differences between a sea wall in front of a beach house and a border wall spanning thousands of miles? Someone get this guy a glass of water.
The reality is that both political parties only care about money. They distract with stupid issues that don’t matter like abortion, climate, covid vax… Meanwhile they’re cashing in while the ordinary folks (both liberal and conservative) get angry watching their fake fox and msnbc news. It’s the ultimate smoke and mirrors and we all fall for it like stupid sheep.
Trump played right wingers like idiots they’re.
Obama played left wingers like the idiots they’re.

Perhaps if you convince him that brown people have no interest in boating to Hawaii to jump over a seawall to get into an Ocean front property in the US it will click for him that he he is not comparing similar things. I can draw diagrams if needed.

Why aren't illegal immigrants welcome on Obama's property?
