No, Obama was similar to Clinton. Both traditional democrats
Clinton gets hated from Nafta and Obama was getting hatred for TPP. Both supoorted global trade deals and got hatred from those saying they were from the left.
Tryng to paint Obama as a populist is a total rewrite of history. He didn't even present himself that way.
