Nicely skewered above, IanM. He really is a smooth criminal. "He Was Our Man in Washington", by Owen Symes, "Hollow Resistance" by Paul Street and "Hopeless: Barack Obama and the Politics of Illusion" by Jeffrey StClair et. al. all rip apart his "legacy" in great detail and are all worth reading. On the other side of the coin, prepare to be sickened: https://www.amazon.com/Renegades-Born-USA-Barack-Obama/dp/0593236319 In a recording studio stocked with dozens of guitars, and on at least one Corvette ride, Obama and Springsteen discuss marriage and fatherhood, race and masculinity, the lure of the open road and the call back to home. They also compare notes on their favourite protest songs, the most inspiring American heroes of all time, and more. Along the way, they reveal their passion for-and the occasional toll of-telling a bigger, truer story about America throughout their careers, and explore how their fractured country might begin to find its way back toward unity. Springsteen does a lot of good things and is quite an activist but he still has these "Hollywood" shit lib tendencies and he as one massive blind spot when it comes to Bomber. This is nauseating gaslighting though.
