Musical stars and retired politicians from less polarised era seeming antidote to cage fights on White House lawn
The Barack Obama presidential center opened in Chicago on Thursday after more than a decade in the making amid a musical fanfare and paeans to democratic principles that evoked a previous age, all while delivering an implied rebuke to Donald Trump.
Featuring appearances by a cast of musical stars and retired politicians from a less polarised era, it was a seemingly perfect antidote to the crass spectacle of cage fights on the White House lawn.
Without naming the current White House occupant, Barack and Michelle Obama launched full-frontal attacks on Trump’s authoritarian approach, depicting them as an affront to American values.



Obama is a war criminal, he should be trialed before an international court and consequently jailed, not having libraries bear his name. It seems hard to compute for Americans especially, but really, it‘s not that complicated.
I mean the vast majority of American leaders are war criminals. Its easy to compute; rules for thee, not for me. That being said practically every western country operates under that mantra
You are right, but there‘s no viable path to shift responsibility away from the US.
Because every western country acts through capitalist forces and under US hegemony, which will enforce capitalist rule or try to kill you off. Which western country do you think plays a sovereign role here?
