Barack Obama ran for office under the slogan 'Change We Can Believe in' and presented himself as a departure from his divisive predecessor George W Bush.

Writer, filmmaker and activist Tariq Ali says Obama represents no real change at all, with the Bush wars continued, new wars begun in Pakistan and Libya, Guantanamo still open, and the rich have continued to prosper and the poor have continued to suffer.
