[p2p-research] Obama's reversal of promises = pathological lying?

[Michel Bauwens]

no politician that I know of would be able to keep all of his promises ...

his record is mixed, and he's broken a number of them,

but to call that pathological, i.e. singling him out as extreme, seems over
the top, as is the rest of this conspiracy video ...

I think that a balanced judgment would require different sources and a more
level-headed judgment of what he's done or not ..

of course, his administration stance on the RIAA and other matters is
problematic,

a critical stance, coupled with self-organizing activity and pressure on the
administration by the social forces that elected him, would still seem the
right option,

Michel
