Our One Party System, for Dummies

I‘ll admit, “they” got me good in 2008! I mean I fell for it hook, line and sinker as the status quo duped me into thinking that Barack Obama was against politics as usual and DC establishment.  I really thought that Obama was the change I was waiting for; so much so that I traveled to more than 15 states on behalf of his campaign as I worked my ass off to get “the first black president” elected [see this video of my candidacy to be Obama’s delegate in 2008]. For more than six years, I bit my tongue as Obama went about out-Bushing Bush and continuing the very same policies as president that he ran against as a candidate.--Teodrose Fikre
