Obama Gets a Little Help From Sir PaulPosted on Jun 24, 2010
While it certainly was keen of Sir Paul McCartney to defend President Obama’s handling of the BP oil spill debacle, can someone please call an official moratorium on invoking Holocaust parallels to suit some contemporary sociopolitical crisis? —KA

With the Beatles somehow came LSD and pot. (The Opium Wars got started with
Report thisBritish involvement, too.) Evil SOB’s? You can figure it out.
British Petroleum’s current circulating assets of $70 billion would probably clean
up their mess. BP North America should be expropriated ‘cause they’ll never clean
up the mess on their own; they have Obama’s protection.

The Beatles and Paul McCartney music is ‘magical’ to me and I
like them. But that is as far as it goes even as I think there is
nothing wrong in putting political messages in songs, many
musicians have been doing it for years. And through the years
the better ones who have made it big time due to followers like
us, just so happen to have come in through the back door as an
elite. Still no real problem there, they created something worth
listening to and people paid them to hear and see them play.
But this just makes P.M. so elite where he should have more than
enough qualms about what o is doing and how demonstrably
different it is from what he suckered so many in on in his well
crafted campaign. The doing and the crafted campaign have
mostly nothing in common and in fact it lays o bare faced naked
to who his true loyalty is intended.
So why does p.m. do this? Does he think o will have a ‘light bulb
Report thisturn on above his head’ moment and start working for the
people instead of the aristocracy? How could sir paul not
recognize such a high hope of ‘change’ has turned into just
another version of corporate aristocracy with no intention of
helping people? Paul has become too ‘elite’ for me. I will listen to
his songs, the ones I like, but I don’t care to see this mad bugger
anymore.

I get it. It’s kind of like Israel not acknowledging that they massacred hundreds of innocent woman and children in Gaza and then they bribed US officials to not acknowledge it or the Goldstone Report which highlighted the war crimes. Also like the massacre on the freedom flotilla to Gaza. It’s all clear to me now.

Yeah This is total bullshit. If global warming is a
Report thisreal crisis, don’t expect it to change anytime soon.
The efforts by the world bank to employ carbon tax
credits is just another way of fleecing western
civilization’s tax payers of their money. They just
tax, through an obviously corrupt system, rather than
implement real progressive regulation and new legislation. Fuck you world I honestly hate you.

How dare Paul McCartney express an opinion, after all this is america right ? land of political correctness and censorship. We all know that GW Bush was a vast intellect, and the humongous clusterfuck he left his successor shows that right ? Screw all you who don’t agree with what Paul said….there’s 100 more for each of you that are in full agreement with the sentimient expressed worldwide, taht sigh of relief when the biggest idiot to sit in the white house was gone finally.

Please don’t flame me, but much as I admire McCartney, his flattery of Obama
shows that his heart may be in the right place, but he doesn’t check his facts very
thoroughly.
He said: “After the last eight years, it’s great to have a president who knows what
a library is.”
G.W. Bush’s wife, Laura, was a librarian before her marriage to Bush.
I reiterate, I like McCartney. I was bewildered by his comment though.

I don’t know about Holocaust parallels, but we are facing a holocaust in the Gulf. It is not a disaster any longer, or a catastrophe, but the deaths of millions of living beings due to the race of humankind towards death and destruction. No one else has covered it—and our government is colluding in a coverup— but a marine toxicologist spoke to a pilot who flies for the oil companies, and he saw the bodies of dolphins and sea turtles on the barrier islands.
I believe humanity has no more right to life than other species, and our obscene filth is truly evil.

Sir Paul is a great Tool..He seems to be blind deaf and dumb to the reality of the situation…Maybe he can write a song about how BP saved the world…Does he own a lot of stock in BP???? If so he is not deaf dumb and blind, he is just one evil SOB….
