Lack of self-awareness

This post by former US President Barack Obama shows a complete lack of self-awareness:

As we wind down 2019, I wanted to share with you my annual list of favorites that made the last year a little brighter. We’ll start with books today — movies and music coming soon. I hope you enjoy these as much as I did. pic.twitter.com/l5qTGkAPok

The first book mentioned is “The Age of Surveillance Capitalism”. Obama was the US President in charge of the largest illegal surveillance operation in history, a fact that was exposed repeatedly by Edward Snowden’s work. Obama tried for more than 3 months to stop the stories by admitting to the previous day’s reveals while promising that no more crimes had been committed – only to be proven wrong the following day.

Disclaimer: Sure, Obama was much better than the current US President, but then again, who wouldn’t be?
