Last week, they opened the Obama library in Chicago. You saw speeches by Barack and Michelle Obama, and all the living ex-presidents and first ladies celebrating the event. But all the fanfare left out his never ending support of neo-liberal economics, brutal wars abroad and how his progressiveness faded away quickly after "Hope and Change" propelled him into the White House.

In our latest, we dive deep into the presidency of Barack Obama. We discuss his 2008 campaign, his bailout of the banks, tax cuts, Obamacare, how he handled the climate crisis, his foreign policy and war management and how he derailed Democratic politics and created the conditions that led to the rise of Donald Trump and the far right.
