Barack Obama finally begins to soothe soul of America

The moment Barack Hussein Obama was inaugurated, the effort to destroy him and his presidency began in earnest, writes Bette Browne who looks back on his legacy

Barack Obama is not afraid to be angry anymore. He’s fighting for his agenda, he’s fighting back against the racism menacing his country, he’s fighting back for his place in history and he may well secure it even as the clock has begun ticking on his presidency.

The white supremacist Ku Klux Klan may have crept back on to the streets of America last week, the country may have been traumatised by the killings of nine black people within the sacred confines of their church last month, but none of that seems to deter Obama. Rather, it seems to be spurring him on to bring his country to a better place.
