Reply #62: He doesn't sound scorned to me. He sounds like someone

who was making excuses for someone he placed so much hope in, as we all did, but as time passed, looking back, he sees the behavior he was willing to overlook in a different light. And it's not a very flattering light, either for him, since he excused it, or for the president as it exposed a character very different than the one he projected to the public.

Iow, West is a realist. Rather than continue to blindly support someone he now has many disagreements on policies with, he is simply being honest.

I wouldn't worry if I were you, I'm sure Obama will survive. After all he has made many new friends and probably really doesn't need the 'old ones'. And in fact, that is what the Prof. is pointing out, isn't it? That Obama is just a regular old politician after all. He was never going to change the world or the country in any significant way. 'Change' was just a slogan.

My question is 'did he know that, or did he really think he could change things only to find out that there is a system in place and all the POTUS is at this point in time, is a sort of CEO of a corp and only people with good skills at selling the business will ever get near the WH.

It's an important question, and many are asking it.
