Obama isn't collecting shit. He's just waiting to go on the rubber chicken circuit and get paid for his work on behalf of big money.
There are (allegedly) 2 parties that run the country. They are supposed to be comprised of people who represent their constituencies. They are actually controlled by "counsels" who are unelected, although hardworking, shills for the ultra rich. Consequently, the leadership is representing the ultra rich. The party in power uses public money to pull in data that it hopes will allow them to maintain control. Obama isn't doing squat; he's a speachifying corporate tool who is serving time. The usual shitheads are doing what they usually do. And your race and the demographics of your neighborhood have been known for a long time.
Obama, Obama, screech, piss and moan. The only useful thing he's done in recent memory is wipe his butt in the morning. He probably doesn't smell bad...
