Anosognosia, Revisited...

Ex-Prez LowBarry, apart from his election, was kinda disappointing to Black Americans. The author of this article, a senior prof of Af.Am. Studies at Duke, thinks so. Obama didn't "do enough to mitigate economic inequality," it is said.
And it's true.
Tho, of course, much of which he would have been prevented from doing by GOPhux majorities after 2010, even if he'd wanted to...
But he also lacked the will:
Back in '08, after the election installing Obama, I wrote the following:
"HOW nominally reasonable, normally intelligent people could ever THINK that the real owners of the country--oligarchs, plutocrats, aristos-- would EVER turn management of THEIR "property," or the system of its administration, over to somebody--to ANYBODY--who wasn't utterly, totally, and completely trustworthy; to someone who posed even the tiniest, remotest, slightest, slimmest CHANCE of undoing the least jot or tittle of their immensely profitable, unimaginably powerful status quo? Unthinkable.
No. That's preposterous! Who could believe such a thing?And it didn't happen, here, either..
Thus, "thePrez-elect" MUST already have faithfully demonstrated to the relevant authorities that he neither will, nor even particularly wants to, upset any plutocratic or hegemonic applecarts, or otherwise in any way disturb the Owners in their well-earned rest...
And to ignore or deny this quite evident set of facts is a text-book example of "Anosognosia."
