Glen Ford: U.S. Imperialism Hopping on Just One Leg
Glen Ford of Black Agenda Reports speaks at Trinity College (Hartford) March 2013….
Although Ford, whose program airs on the Progressive Radio Network, was slated to speak about “Black Politics, Obama and Foreign Policy,” President Barack Obama was largely a footnote at the end of his talk.

About two-thirds of the way through his lecture, Ford got around to discussing Obama; he was no more complimentary of his policies than of his predecessors. Ford described Obama’s foreign policy as “insidious,” and alleged that the administration doesn’t view war as the last resort but as a “good thing to do” if it’s perceived to be in the country’s best interest. And he said Obama has waged war in the name of “humanitarianism.”
Listen to the first two minutes, and you may find that want to listen to the full hour.
