More than most Americans, Chicagoans really lived the full arc of decline from Obama’s election in 2008 until the end of his term, and right into the present day.

Why?

Well, expectations were sky high when he held a massive outdoor victory rally in November of 2008 at the Chicago lakefront. Though in the middle of a brutal economic crisis, Americans largely rejoiced at Barack’s win, hoping for better economic times, and confident that electing America’s first black president would accelerate the racial healing that was already such a strong trend in society at that time.

But Obama took things in the exact opposite direction. The economy did stabilize, but only for the already successful.

Working class people lost ground during the entirety of Obama’s presidency. I cover the brutal economic stats here in my documentary, “You Don’t Know Barack: OBAMA EXPOSED”

But even worse than the economic failures of Obama: he set race relations back decades, at least.

Instead of channeling Dr. King and challenging America to live up to our own stated ideals, he shamed and divided citizens at every possible opportunity.

Obama became THE DIVIDER IN CHIEF.

The results?

Race relations worsened dramatically under his leadership, and he continues to fan the flames of division, to this very day. It’s one big reason that Obama became a net negative political force in the 2024 election, for the first time since he entered national politics.

Obama’s post presidency has been shameful. He simply lives a life of excess, cashing-in for generational wealthy sums, living like a celebrity glitterati, unconcerned with the people he claimed to represent, scolding American voters (especially black men), and building a hideous monument to himself on Chicago’s south shore.

In this full interview, law partner and astute political strategist Richard Porter provides his keen insights into the real legacy of Obama — and about how much better America can be if we reject the divisive, radical politics of Barack!
