Irony of Ironies! Barack Obama is now the "great white father" of the Native Americans (aka First Nations). Laugh or cry, I can't decide which. Obama is neither great nor is he white. He is not a father but an obedient child of the elites. He is bereft of any sort of humanity--and humility as well. GWF Obama is of Kenyan descent and maybe Trump was right: not an American at all. Obama certainly does not uphold what we consider as typical American Values, such as justice, fair play, single rule of law (instead of a two-tiered system).

GWF Obama has betrayed principle on so many occasions that one can wonder whom is more unprincipled: BHO or HRC. Confining this discussion to the former individual, let's take a brief look at some of his FAILS, because being more comprehensive would expand this essay to unwieldy size.

Let's talk about things he has done FOR the people, not the elites:

1. ACA, also known as About to Collapse Anyday.

2. Reversing the Great Recession.

Wait a minute you might say, these were both Devil's bargains.

1. ACA did give us greater numbers of citizens with health "coverage" which is proving to be a progressively leaking umbrella, an exclusion for not excluding people with pre-existing conditions. Right?

Well, not exactly. Why? Due to obeisance to the demands of "insurance" companies complaining about their loss of expected profits, progressively more are pulling out of ACA, state by state.

How about the "pre-existing conditions angle? Insurance companies have got this covered. If your condition is treatable with newer biological or other pharmaceuticals, the insurance company decides that:

a) treatment is not warranted or

b) experimental or

c) will cover only a small percentage of treatment costs (such as MRI for mammography or biologicals for Hepatitis C.

If insurance abuse isn't enough of a blessing for those of us who get sick, we have the unremitting Reign of Terror due to literally exploding drug prices--even on generic drugs.

Do the pro's outweigh the con's? You decide.

2. Ending the Great Recession. Now that is a no brainer, i.e., perpetrated by the GWF to enrich banks keeping the financial system afloat with their philosophy of greed. But what about the dispossessed? Well, thanks to Barry's human concern for his fellow human beings (about which, much more later) he magnificently magnified adomicilia already rampant in the land (for those of you not fluent in Latin, adomicilia = homeless).

So now thousands of homeless get jailed for loitering while Wall Street Tycoons get bonuses. Yes, we have a continuing economic expansion invisible to the naked eye, unless you enjoy the superb outlook from atop Mount Olympus ("It's a club and you ain't in it"--G. Carlin).

Okay, okay, you plead. No more of this financial talk, let us discuss real flesh and blood human beings. Now Obama, the "GWF" being a richly endowed person with melanin, would seem to be the perfect fellow to have in charge to deal with police murder of individuals with similar melanotic disposition. He could have order Department of Injustice investigations into murder of unarmed civilians, regardless of coloration, by the "Serve and Protect" gangs roaming our streets in black-and-white vehicles (oh, another irony).

And speaking of dangerous super-predators, like those smoking a joint of MaryJane, we should throw them in jail and forget where the key is to let them out again. Did Barry remove MaryJane from schedule 1, which requires no Congressional action and thus release people who were brash enough to inhale a vegetative product--you know, like "harmless tobacco" (which is something like "clean coal"?

Stop, stop already with these racist rants here! Okay. We won't talk about homelessness (even though it was still a racially anasymmetrical result of bad loans by bad people). Okay, we will talk about financial corruption--oh, we did that (banks, insurance companies and big Pharma).

Shall we instead review 19th century politics? What can we learn from a remote era? Why, we can learn about betrayal and greed. (I'll bet many of you thought that these were just 21st century vices. The origin of The Great White Father in Washington was he in whose name treaties with the First Nations was named as guarantor of these pacts.

Question: What is worth less: the New York Times of an "Indian" treaty? Answer: both are worthless but the latter was vastly more shameful and harmful.

As many on c99 have written about Standing Rock eloquently, such as blazinAZ, I won't go into as much detail. Suffice it point out that the US government committed genocide on First Nations, then dispossessed survivors by forcibly relocating them to land holding no value for white men. After each relocation or confinement, a treaty was signed in the name of the GWF.

On parts of the Sioux Reservation in North Dakota, land was ceded to the Sioux on both sides of the Cannonball River in 1851 and subsequently revised in 1868. Worthless land, right? Not really because large oil deposits found nearby had to be transported across sacred Sioux land to reach refineries and export centers. What makes this land sacred is the graveyards of Sioux ancestors for generations. These sites have been prayer grounds and places of reverence for the First Nations.

One disquieting sentiment, voiced especially by DAPL mouthpieces, has been "What's the big deal? It's just a bone yard in the middle of nowhere whose inhabitants think should stand in the way of progress?" Imagine if you will, that a huge deposit of Uranium or even oil was located under the soil of the Old Bone Yard at Arlington National Cemetery.

Barack GWF Obama visited these Sioux Lands in 2010 swearing to respect and protect the rights of the Tribes.

The following You Tube video is powerful albeit a bit long at 43 minutes. In responses to the Army Corpse of Engineers (misspelling purposeful) one spokesperson for the water protectors commented on a letter sent to the Tribes advising the protestors that the ACE will set up "free speech zones" near the pipeline but disbanding the current protest site. She said in essence: The Army Corps of Engineers is going to set up a Free Speech Zone, I thought the whole of America was a free speech zone.
