And he's shaking his tiny fists in rage.
Oh, that's not the headline at the story but rather my interpretation. |
President Obama isn't just getting ripped by conservatives -- he's also taking heat from the left.
Filmmaker Oliver Stone and historian Peter Kuznick criticize Obama's presidency in a forthcoming book called The Untold History of the United States, saying he has too often mimicked Republican predecessor George W. Bush.
"The country Obama inherited was indeed in shambles, but Obama took a bad situation and, in certain ways, made it worse," write Stone and Kuznick, reports Politico. "Rather than repudiating the policies of Bush and his predecessors, Obama has perpetuated them."

| You see, we haven't lost yet: there are no pics of helicopters landing on the embassy roof in Kabul. Until there are Ollie will be disappointed. |
On civil liberties: "Among the greatest disappointments to his followers was Obama's refusal to roll back the expanding national security state that so egregiously encroached on American civil liberties."
| My goodness, the stopped clock got one right... |
