On his path to election as President of the United States, Barack Obama built his myth. Many, after the Bush presidency, especially Europeans, needed to believe in him. He appeared as a liberal. As being at the opposite end of Bush. As an opponent of the establishment.
Ultimately, he turns out to be a continuator of his predecessor's policies, albeit with a more 'gentle' face. The 'Big Brother', the NSA, was monitoring, as revealed, the communications of millions of citizens, even Angela Merkel. Under Obama, and by his orders, the lethal unmanned aircraft (drones) executed suspected 'terrorists' around the world, along with hundreds of innocent civilians.
Under Obama, the war in Afghanistan escalated, igniting a civil war in Pakistan. Under Obama, dictatorships were supported, and under Obama, America stood against democratization movements in the Middle East while encouraging the military coup in Egypt.
The myth of Obama had reached such an extent that he was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize, shortly after being elected, solely based on his proclamations. In the pages of this book, the real Obama is revealed, and the chaotic gap between his beautiful words and his raw actions. Irrefutable evidence shatters illusions and myths.
