Well, ok, yes he's right , but...

Wasn't this guy like mayor of Chicago or something back in the day? Didn't he hold some kind of office with real, tangible political power where he might have tried to actually try to do something about this? Going "Wow, you guys are really fucked" decades later doesn't really absolve someone.

No nothing as powerful as mayor of Chicago, he was only the president of the US
