05-28-09 - For all his self-aggrandizing rhetoric about civil rights, Obama seems at times a staunch enemy of civil rights:
- Obama joked about gay protesters asking him to keep promises: "I don’t know which promise he was talking about.” (americablog) -- Obama has been conning gays that he is interested in their civil rights, and gays are beginning to wake up to that fact. -- He probably wouldn't know which promise, because a promise to this man is nothing more than a cynical rhetorical device to gain points. I can well imagine a LOT of former Obama voters sitting out the midterms because of his litany of broken promises. It seems a dead certainty that slimy GOPers will capture a number of congressional seats because of his fealty to the Establishment--and it will be Obama's fault. Truth-challenged Barack Obama is NOT a man of the people. It is obvious he is first for himself, then for the powers that be -- and we little people are not part of the powers that be, certainly not as long as elections can still be gamed.
- Obama Needs to Do More than Swap Liberal Justices (progressive) "Obama needs to do more than just swap one liberal justice for another. He needs to make sure that his Justice Department goes into the Supreme Court to uphold the Bill of Rights, not undermine it."

- General orders soldiers to stop committing suicide (americablog) -- This Gen. George S. Patton wannabe looks like a good reason we only make countries that we invade worse. It's time for this anus to retire before he pushes yet more of his soldiers over the edge.

- California Sen. Dianne Feinstein said today it is unlikely she will run for governor (sfgate) -- This conflict-of-interest afflicted, multimillionaire, big-business protector and wife of billionaire war profiteer, has done enough damage in politics already for a lifetime. Please tell me she's retiring from politics altogether.
- Sen. Chris Dodd's (D-Conn.) re-election chances are in doubt (briefingroom) -- The more of the weak-spined old guard Democrats leave, the better for democracy in the United States. It was on their watch that the rapacious GOP criminals rose to power and eventually stole the entire election system in the United States, and now the U.S. Treasury. Now these same old-guard, week spined Democrats and Blue Dogs are letting any political action that would really improve our lives get watered down down till it's insipid. Time to get rid of all Blue Dogs and other Democrat incumbents generally, and bring in a new group of hard-fighting, democracy minded Democrats interested in the good of all the people, not just the business owners, and who actually intend to uphold their oath to protect the Constitution, not just make hypocritical, pretty comments about it.
