My criticism of Obama

[Michael Asher]

He is more connected to Goldman Sachs than Bush was to oil.

He promised to not place lobbyists in his cabinet, but he did (defense company lobbyists at that).

His administration is on track to out do Bush in spending. More importantly,we're not going to see a balanced budget with this guy.

His administration continues to promote the consumerism that is destroying this country.

His administration continues to promote inflationary policies.

His administration is in support of strengthening the patriot act.

Maybe, maybe not. Why don't you do a little Googling and compile lists

This is highly doubtful. By 2004 Bush had topped 100 in his appointments See. Bush Has Appointed Over 100 Lobbyists as 'Regulators' After 1 year, I can find 12 in Obama's Hot Air » Blog Archive » The list of lobbyists in the Obama administration

What? This assertion goes screaming for some sort of documentation. As for a balanced budget, Bush left him the tab for a massive blowout.

His administration continues to promote the consumerism that is destroying this country.

Give us an f--ing break. The entire US economy is predicated on consumerism, and is no more his fault than it was Bushs. Its the way you've run that place the last 100 years.

His administration continues to promote inflationary policies.

Such as?

His administration is in support of strengthening the patriot act.

So you think Obama actually runs the US? Who gave you that idea? But yeah, his administration does support the damnable patriotc Act. The Bushies made a bad situation worse and it's now Obama's fault for not saying no to the huge state security apparatus. I agree that I wish Obama had more balls, but he doesn't. Smell the coffee. The US, whether there is a Dem or a Rep in the WH, is a police state owned and run for the benefit of the moneyed class. It's been that way for decades. When Reagan entered the WH. democracy's corpse was rolled out the service entrance in back. It had been on life-supprt for years.




Hm... let me try to think up some more assertions in your natural style... Hm... let's see, I don't have to document a thing, it just has to resonate, it doesn't have to necessarily be in agreement with actual policy OK....

How's this:

* Obama uses time on Sundays to send messages to sky-being at some cult-like bulding.

* His administration has appointed persons who've read foreign authors in college!

* Obama cheers for sports teams that some Americans would rather see lose!

* Obama surrounded by the same military industrial complex that has ruled the nation for 60 years and hasn't had the balls to fix it overnight!

Yeah, now I'm warming up, getting more political. how about one more:

Money runs the US, Big money! Mean Money! so here’s my final one:

* Obama not ready to piss off landed, filthy-wealthy, better-connected economic aristocracy and run the risk of being disposed or shot.
