Obama is turning out to be an O'Bummer for progressives throughout the United States and the world. He is also making what look like huge political mistakes that almost certainly doom a second term.
For one thing, Obama has adopted the Bush Wars as his own children and now wants to win the wars he previously pretended to oppose. Like Bush he lies about withdrawal from Iraq when he and Bush mean "permanent occupation". Now Obama can be a stupid reactionary and tie a millstone around his own neck, or should I say the millstone of Iraq and the mountain of Afghanistan. Obama will conquer Afghanistan. Right! Even Bush wasn't that stupid!
In a similar fashion Obama speaks eloquently about corruption on Wall Street and then hands trillions of imaginary dollars over to the crooks. He seeks to restore the corrupt and utterly capitalistic way of doing things at your and my and our grandchildren's expense. This debt burden is something he is putting on the backs of the working classes. Bush, Obama what is the substantial difference? I don't think our grandchildren will put up with it and I don't think that their grandparents should silently allow this brutal financial coup to be consolidated.
What about universal health care? Obama got votes as he posed as someone who wants the best health care system Americans can get. Yet he has shut out "single payer" one hundred percent. He is all about big pharm, big hospital chains, big hmo's, big insurance and big medical business in all of its opulent excesses. Our health care is the last thing on his health care agenda! When the healthcare bubbles burst Obama will be one of the fools making it happen, quite eloquently he will note that he "screwed up" and yes we are the ones getting "screwed".
And the computerized medical charting is all about an Orwellian Medical database available to every insurance company, hmo and health care hustler with the gumption to pick your pocket. Thank you for the hope but what about delivering single payer, not a life time of rip offs as each and every one of us struggle to get the healthcare that is regarded as a right in the rest of the world. Only your family and the patient will have trouble getting your medical records now. Everyone else gets their own copy. Your life is a commodity to be bought and sold like pork bellies.
Of course you need only look out the window to see the Orwellian video cameras on every street corner. It's an Obamination unto the goddess of liberty and justice!
Obama's change is superficial change, a change in style, and a big lurch to the right after a deft feint to the left. Obama is technocratic, a public relations whiz, a Kennedyesque monster that seeks to conquer, murder and maim with a little more stealth and even more secrecy than Bush. Hence, the so-called counterinsurgency strategy he seeks to apply to Pakistan and Afghanistan and perhaps Latin America once again, if he can get away with it! Is Obama's change just a different kind of killing? With drone murdering hundreds at a strike he is outdoing Bush in that sort to killing. Maybe Obama meant more killings the same way when he was referring to "change". He was and is always vague about "change", big vocabulary though.
Even more than Bush he has the press corp on a leash! Every question is approved. Sounds like a press conference in a dictatorship. President Obama is President Big Brother?
Skin color does not a progressive make as anyone with any experience knows. And now President Obama refuses to release memos, and other documents he already promised to release while he attacks the ACLU. It's all about hiding American crimes just as with Bush. Is this Bush III or what?
Then, Obama tries to pass the buck about prosecuting Republican criminals and various conservative, torturing criminals to others like his appointees, as if someone else was the President.
Obama is a rightist! We can't count on Obama or the Democrats for anything but the same old conservative crap or an even worse financial dictatorship strangling our individual lives, families,communities, nation and world!
So when it comes to the next Supreme Court nominee we can bet that Obama will hem and haw and say this and that and then he will say the exact opposite of this and that. This may pass through several complete cycles as he dances around the issues while endeavoring to appear to be addressing them. At the end of the day he may be looking for a torturer or someone who authorized torture for the Supreme Court, just to prove he is soooo coool, sooo broad minded, sooo loyal to the elites and sooo liberal in one of the worst senses of the term "liberal".
There are, no doubt, klansmen and Republican party leaders who are willing and able to prove Obama is no racist by serving on the court as his nominee and Obama fighting for them in the Congress to quash any progressive opposition. Too bad, Obama probably can't find any old Nazi's to serve on the court but Naziphile, Arnold Schwarzenneger's dad was "just a policeman" during the Third Reich (yeah an SS policeman!) Maybe Arnold can be Obama's kind of Supreme Court Justice?
So am I being too hard on Mr. Obama or not hard enough?
Let's see, if Obama nominates a progressive and then withdraws or sabotages the nomination of that progressive? President Progressive Poser, that would fit!
"Smiling faces, smiling faces, sometimes they don't tell the truth!" Mr. Obama, shame on your smiling lies about being for the average citizen, for children, for the workers, for women and for the eocnomically and racially oppressed. Or did you ever even say those things? Were we just wishing and hoping that you were progressive even though you said again and again things that make you sound like a pseudoliberal who fears any struggle against any real world conservatives.
Mr. Obama looks more and more like a technocratic deracialized whiz kid of the ruling class. Obama dances a good dance but any fool can see whom he is dancing for, whatever their vocabulary!
Mr Obama, you are dancing for the past, for the rich and for the financial elites. You are dancing for the capitalist empire capitalisms would be conquests. You are yet another emperor serving the empire of greed and total capitalist domination. You should be known as President Wallstreet not President Obama!
Too bad, too, you seemed like such a "nice guy"!
