Obama was put in office by the American people who wanted an end to all the warring and torturing and imprisoning and renditioning.
...................................

Or, Obama was put into office by the wise spending of 700 million dollars gathered , in large part, from the same folks he now rewards with billions of dollars stolen from our childrens future.

The Liberal Americans are going to have to learn the hard way that voting for liars and capitalists brings no respite, only more hardship.

What is the increase of violence per every 10000 soldiers added?

Obama was put in office by the American people who wanted an end to all the warring and torturing and imprisoning and renditioning.  Obama has carried on all of that with the very same people who worked for Bush and Cheney.  Whatever the actual motivations Obama has completely and utterly betrayed the American people.  At a meeting in the White House with leading civil libertarians and human rights people(eg truly patriotic people of the United States) Obama rejected all cries for anything approaching a truth commission or any sort of prosecutorial effort directed at bringing to justice those who actually orchestrated 9/11 and committed war crimes etc.  Of course, Obama from day one is a war criminal.

Obama must answer for his travisties and treasonous actions.  As Bill Maher said a day or two ago he should stop showing us his dog and start showing us the change he promised.

As it stands Obama could end up being even more insideous and evil a person than George Bush.

I worked hard for his election and I don’t regret it.  I was lied to like everyone else.  I was so happy to meet so many caring Americans along the way. I’m just devistated.  We can all still have a bit of hope that he is just spinning around afterall he did not take office very long ago.  There is a massive effort in the country to handle Obama and part of that is an effort at a kind of a “psychological operation” designed to control him.
Thing is we all thought Obama was too intelligent and too convicted in his passionate desire to right all the wrongs of the Bush administration.  But if that were true he certainly wouldn’t have let the poor people who are held captive in Guantanamo continue to be held there.  He would at the very least send people down to the base to make their living circumstances the best they could be and further to expose the fact that these people were abducted expressly for the cover up effort ot the orchestrated 9/11.  They were tortured using the very same techniques used to solicit false confessions of political prisoners in the USSR and China.  Just as then they wated false confessions but Guantanamo was to add legitimacy to the completely false war on terror.  To act as if there was some reality to it.  Read the books from David Ray Griffin to find an in depth account of the evidince which today overwhelmingly proves that 9/11 was in fact orchestrated by elements in the US government, and that Dick Cheney and others had priciple operational control of the event on 9/11.

Obama has been about the same as if we had kept George Bush in office but he gravely harms the Democrats at a time when the country has rejected the the Republicans so completely they are no longer even a national party. Obama acts as if he is a junior congressman and has no power to contend with the power of the Republicons.  When bush came in he passed all kinds of criminal legislation that gutted our Constitution and with less of a majority got i through.  All the Democrats did was say they didn’t have any way of contending with the Republicon majority.  The Republicons are acting like they are not a side lined party and Obama is supporting them fully.

Since a US victory in Afghanistan is not possible, however defined, the idea is to keep the war going until the next presidential election without losing.  Obama put in McCrystal, the head of Cheney and Rumsfield’s murder and torture squad, to make the killing less public than bombing villages, homes, weddings and funerals.  this will be Obama’s version of Peace.

Surprised? Not

Violence is the seed we sow and when harvest arrives we act the fool, forgetting the preparations we made for such a vibrant yield.

It will take a generation or two for those struck by the absurdity of this violent act to modify their ire, hatred, pain.  We seem to be the only people who have not a history to reference, or more likely a history we can recall without the spin of revisionist writers and commentators.

Those “who hate us” have cause, they remember the overthrow of the duly elected governments of Iran and Guatemala in the 50’s, Chile in the 70’s, Nicaragua in the 80’s and on and on and on.

It is past time for us to come home. It is now time to come sit on the front porch and contemplate the results of our meddling in the affairs of our neighbors.  There is work to be done, mending fences, reducing our blight on the landscape and assault on nature.  We need to learn to live together, find ways to stop this hate that seems to have found its way out and is now commanding our world.

Yes violence is the seed that binds

Why are we still getting reports from General Betrayus? And we are we sending more good bodies after bad? Anyone who votes for Obama in 2012 is a damn fool.
