- The Emperor Has No Clothes! Obama, the Timid Cosmetician Who is Afraid to Face Off Against Power - Not Up To Being President After the Bush Criminal Regime Has Raped Our Country So Viciously - We Need Courage in Our President, Not Betrayal
- George W Bush lawyers to avoid 'torture memo' charges (telegraph) -- Barack Obama has betrayed the American people in so many fundamental ways. His silver-tongued lies have mesmerized a people who had been bashed into retardation by the atrocities Bush and his super-rich handlers perpetrated against the Constitution, the American supermajority, and the world -- and a people who desperately wanted to believe in Obama's lies about change we could believe in. Obama is fine at pushing papers around on his desk, of changing the way things look in little ways, of holding his chin up for photos as if to say "I am above reproach," but he is terrified of facing the real power players who are behind Bush's crimes against America and the world. We will continue to see small, cosmetic changes, some of which we may even like, but we will continue to accumulate a horrified sense of massive betrayal by our silver-tongued caretaker of the Bush and super-rich criminals protection program. I don't care for cosmetician politicians. I prefer good old basic honesty, ability to sense what is most important for the people, and the courage to do something about it. Bush left office with the country in such disarray that any next president would have his hands full just dealing with that devastation -- an effective way to interfere with Obama's plans of governance. What this country needs most, in addition to defusing of the ticking bombs Bush left us with are two changes of the utmost importance -- 1) restoring the rule of law and accountability for previous administration lawbreakers, as a precendent to warn off any future administration from trying it again and to give the nation once again a sense that we are a nation of laws, not smirking lawbreakers, and 2) complete, uniform election reform done in such a way that no election can ever again be stolen in the United States without bringing down the severest of penalties. Of course there is a myriad of other very important priorities to act upon as soon as possible. Bush must really be having a continual belly laugh that he left Obama juggling a half-dozen time bombs. I haven't voted for a Republican since the 70's out of a sense of outrage over their disrespect for ordinary people and their fawning over their rich constituents. Now, that outrage is taking on a new dimension, one where I sometimes think it possibly more honest and just about as useful to vote for what we already know are putrid, vile, lying, criminal Republicans, instead of continuing to contribute to a make-believe world that it could be better if only we had Democrats running things. And to let the Democrat money beggars know why they're not going to get more money or votes as long as they continue to fuk the nation with only a little more finnesse than the Republicans do it. Democrat pols are confident that liberals will always come through for them, regardless of how little of substance they really produce. They need to find out in no uncertain terms that it's time to earn the support of liberals, beginning with Barack Obama, not just expect it for playing follow-the-leader or for silver-tongued lying rhetoric. -- Will I actually make the leap? Probably not. I think I would probably just vote third party all the way and never give the Democrats another dime. (By way of introspection, this whole reaction reminds me a lot of the Independence Day scene of Jeff Blumberg throwing the garbage can around in Area 51 during his drunken fit of desperation and hopelessness. Too bad there's no reason to believe we'll go ahead and yet win the day, though. The David Rockefeller types already have that one all sewn up, thanks to the Obama types in government.)
