Obamas is making movies for Netflix and living in Martha's Vineyard. I don't see him in the same category as MLK. At all. Veblen's Theory of the Leisure Class is applicable.
Which is funny because I remember when the narrative about Obama was that he was a black separatist raised at the foot of terrorist Bill Ayers, but that was before he was a crypto-Muslim Al-Qaeda sympathizer who wasn't even American mind you, and a Marxist-Leninist who planned to burn down the Constitution and turn the US over to communism. Also definitely the Antichrist and reincarnation of Hitler. Who was also totally a socialist.
All that, and the guy was barely even a progressive.
