Bush-Obama, a.k.a "promise breaker",
promised: "Yes, we can" ..." stay the same" pretty much is
what it turned out to be.
1) Obama kept Bush's national security and
economic adviser teams. He did add the Stiglitz wing of economists, but failed
to heed its advice, sided instead with Geithner wing of banksters. With
Stiglitz he had the opportunity to nationalize the bankrupt banks and other
financial entities, and for us, the people, for the country to take control of
its finances - finances are not like the weather - and not have those fates
left in the hands of Vegas gamblers, every year or two a calamity -
finances need not be an unending series of tormento tropicals!
2) Obama had his "surge", in
Afghanistan. He has become the executioner in chief, the great
"droner," who plays cyber war and concentrates most of the U.S.
Navy in the Persian Gulf. The Nobel Peace Prize was the give-a-way: major
war criminals are its chief recipients: Hennery the K of Wurstburg on the
Hudson, Sanctimonious Jimmy who destabilized Afghanistan [at
"Ziggy" of Brzezinski's kindly insistence]. Obama helped destabilize
Lybia, the destabilization of Syria has been an American agenda for at least a
decade, but appears to have gone seriously awry - as have all these
interventions going back as far at least as Mossadegh's deposition as
Prime Minister of Iran under dear old Ike, you remember Kermit something or
other, the Frog don't you?*
3) For those not
of Texas or of the Texas of the Mind, Obama may be easier on their ears and eyes - yet the difference in policies is
minimal. Obamacare is a gift to the insurance companies as
Bush's prescription drug law was a gift to big Pharma. What must
have surprised a Republicantype president was that the
nominal Republicans were so adverse to compromising with him on debt relief -
Bush incurred debt of appr. 10 trillion,
it is now 4 trillion more. And, God forbid that any part of the
one trillion war budget be sequestered! Ah, the state of forever
"national insecurity" that requires that apparatus! The Imperium has
incurred so many enemies in the past 50 + years it means "forever
war", forever pork for every porker in each and every congressional
district!
Romney may be a worse choice, the only
reason he seems to want the task is because his dad failed to
attain the post. However. I don't see that the consensus of the lesser evil
applies in this instance of Tweedledee and Tweedledum.
Instead of either of these great evils let's have
our French Revolution, a bloodless one that leaves each and every millionaire
with a million for each member of their family. Sufficiente? No? Imagine what a
"stimulus" such a redistribution of wealth would do to mononcle Eco-No-My!
Imagine how sensible it is to give each of the sheeples enough wool so that
they can be successfully sheared!
Find a good socialist candidate. Mine is Jerry
White of the Socialist Equality Party - the Trotzkyites, at least their
analyses are powerful!
