It will forever be galling that such a veritable horseman of the apocalypse ever earned a Nobel Peace Prize. That moment was about the moment the prestige of that award died for me, was knowing that a man who destroyed two nations, killed thousands of civilians, and is the root cause of the emergence of slavery in Libya was getting a fuckin Nobel for his work in service of the oligarchs.

We will never be rid of this man. As long as he lives, he will claim innocence and practice misdirection to keep millions of people confused about the cause of their travails. Those of us who pay attention know better. Barack Obama will always act like butter wouldn’t melt in his mouth. It is up to everyone else to tell the truth about him.
