Comments on: Van Jones: “If Obama believes Keystone is a good thing, he should call it the Obama Tar Sands Pipeline.” https://occasionalplanet.org/2013/06/17/van-jones-if-obama-believes-keystone-is-a-good-thing-he-should-call-it-the-obama-tar-sands-pipeline/ Progressive Voices Speaking Out Wed, 13 Apr 2016 16:09:52 +0000 hourly 1 By: Stacy Mergenthal https://occasionalplanet.org/2013/06/17/van-jones-if-obama-believes-keystone-is-a-good-thing-he-should-call-it-the-obama-tar-sands-pipeline/#comment-2820 Tue, 18 Jun 2013 23:45:00 +0000 http://www.occasionalplanet.org/?p=24561#comment-2820 Thank you for laying it all out so articulately; this article speaks to me. I too have noticed the disconnect and I feel betrayed by this president more so than any other. He made us believe him–against all odds due to the nature of politics–and has consistently let us down on the issues we care about, from climate change and social justice, to equality and the growing police state. The failed (and expensive) war on drugs, an end to war, and all those unconstitutional abilities granted to our security agencies under former president Bush (and continued/escalated under Obama). In my opinion, Obama has failed us. At the very least, he cannot be trusted. In my mind, and contrary to his infamous campaign slogan, he will always be remembered as the president who destroyed any hope of change.
