Rall is like Paul Craig Roberts. He will viciously attack whoever is in power. The problem is that what they write says a lot more about their own psychological issues than it does about whoever is in power.
So maybe Rall has a point about Obama on these issues, but I would give Rall’s opinion absolutely no weight on the matter. I would verify his claims from other sources first.
There’s a word for these kind of people- “Contrarian.”
