Yeah... you had a book author musing about, had Obama thrown some Wall Street tycoons in jail, Trump wouldn't have happened. And a Counterpunch piece with a snippet out of another book (misrepresenting the book's much more nuanced discussion) involving pitch forks, also insinuating that Obama had made the decision to protect Wall Street against prosecution. Neither article had any specific evidence for that claim.
How about the fact that NO ONE was charged with anything?
Neither article even went so far as to address the question of whether or not Obama had any power over the prosecutions. Because, in reality, presidents involving themselves in prosecutions is frowned upon, and for good reason.
So he lied or was ignorant when he promised his administration would do so?
He promised his administration would do what, exactly?
The administration extracted some $200bn in fines etc. I, too, thought some banksters should have taken advantage of federal housing, but that was not to be. Tough shit.
So, I chose to dismiss that nonsense, quietly. I thought, you would be smart to follow my example.
Nope. Just starting.
#2. His promise to ban lobbyists from the White House.
Obama's lobbyist rule: Promise Broken
Oh, for crying out loud! Yes, in light of the realities of the office, some pipe dreams just plop, and he hired some lobbyists, though way fewer than anyone else in living memory, and certainly fewer than the gang of grafters now infesting federal offices.
Say, pknopp, did your hoped-for savior turn out to be human, a politician, no less, and did he fail to live up to your standards of purity and sanctity? And, have you ever since been parading around your oh-so bitter disappointment?
Grow up and get over it already. No one will ever live up to your level of purity. That's still no reason to reach down the cloaca, pull out a Trump and make him president. Not in any reasonable universe anyway.
