Huh Huh! I believe him, don’t you.

The media loves to paint these things as left vs. right and they all do it. But why is it whenever these things come to light, it’s 99% of the time the right who does these illegal things. Why is it the right are the ones pushing these draconian bills to take away voting rights, equal pay rights, and women’s rights. But you know when the mainstream media discusses this and similar stories, they’ll be quick to point both the right and left pull these type shenanigans, never having to provide any proof of the left actually doing these things!

Are there any progressives left in the government of the US. Apparently not! It’s all about making money, period!

There are many signs this bill is a sham, but for the most important sign is what I consider the kiss of death for any legislation emerging from Congress, it’s a “bipartisan”!

I understand this is a supposed “news” story, but aren’t you tired of the Charlie Brown syndrome by now. How many times does Obama or any of his people have to announce some big investigation into the banks, or anything else for that matter, and pull the football out from under us each and every time. We all know where this is going, NOWHERE! This is just great campaign headlines to make Obama look good in a campaign year.

I’m sorry, some may see this as a good thing, I don’t. Anytime the Feds get involved with these financial investigations, it usually means the crooks get off with no jail time, and having only to pay a meaningless fine. So, no this isn’t good news to me. If it were a State AG I’d be much more optimistic. Nothing the Feds will do a damned thing to help the homeowners they defrauded. The fine will go to the SEC for government use, and the homeowners are still sleeping on the street.

Seriously, Holder “threatens” action against voter suppression. He’s been warned about these efforts by civil rights groups since 2009, and has not done a damned thing about it. All of a sudden, the 2012 election is on the line and he’s “threatening” to do something about it. Everyone in Obama’s administration is as pathetic and weak as he is!

It takes a self-hating Black man, who constantly denounces affirmative action, black leaders, and economic and social justice to get the votes of the still racially tinged South. Uncle Tom is alive and well, and he’s running in the GOP primary for President.

This and many other things this president has done is dispicable to me. Obama did these things, not because he fundamentally believes in them, but because he mistakenly thought it would buy him some political capital or favor with the right. This idiotic man thought that if only showed the right he could be as right wing as they could be, maybe then he would convince them to “come to the table of brotherhood”. How stupid and naive was this. When the first thing that comes of the Senate Minority Leader’s mouth, Mitch McConnell, is his only goal is to defeat you, you might want to take notice of that.

Yet this man thought that if he showed the right he could be tough on enforcement by increasing deportations and sending national guard troops to the border, they just might be willing to do a comprehensive immigration bill. Damn, I’d love to be in a poker game with Obama, I’d clean his clock. Any fool with half a brain could see the right hates immigrants, and only wants to tear this man down, no matter the cost, yet he, even until this day, still thinks they’ll do the right thing on immigration. HE’S WRONG YET AGAIN!!!!!

PRESIDENT OBAMA, THERE ARE NO MORE MODERATE, SENSIBLE REPUBLICANS. HAVE YOU BEEN WATCHING THE GOP DEBATES!

And this is surprise why? When you essentially have two parties doing the bidding of the rich, wall street, and powerful corporations, amidst the misery and devastation wrought on the people by those very same interests, what the hell does anyone expect the poll results to show. If you polled the interests being served by our government at all levels, local, state, and federal,you will have directly opposite results. I just read an article on Firedoglake where Harry Reid is once again doing the bidding of the rich and powerful. He’s focusing on the trade that has only one viable benefit, to further enrich the barons of wall street and multi-national corporations, while pushing more and more blue collar workers into the unemployment line.

I happen to be one of those people who doesn’t believe a word of populism that comes out of Obama’s mouth. He’s simply doing as he did in the 2008 campaign, and saying whatever he needs to say to get re-elected. You can bet your last dollar, if and when he gets back in office, he’ll revert right back to the wall street puppet he is, and his supporters will once again be staring down the barrel of more betrayals and lies. I’ve lost complete faith in all levels of government, and as far as I can see, the only person having a real conversation on how to really fix this crappy country of ours is Dylan Rattigan. I may not always agree with his solutions, but at least he’s willing to use his platform to force an honest conversation into the public sphere about the real structural problems that are hampering this nation.

The more I hear people talke about what’s good for Obama politically and for Republicans politically, I turn the TV because I understand from that point on the conversation is meaningless. Until this nation has a real conversation about the complicity of both Republicans and Democrats in the destruction of America by their feilty to their rich financiers, nothing at all is going to change in this country. The horse race means nothing to me, because at this point, it doesn’t matter who wins and loses, because the differences only exist around the margins, and the people who fund both parties will continue to win, and the American people will continue to lose.

Yeah, if you live in some fucking alternate universe. I may be upset and disappointed with Obama, but that doesn’t mean I want this team of jackasses to come in and make the worst president in the history of the US, GW Bush, make him look like the best president ever. You people in conservative-ville need to get a shot of something to wake you the hell up. You’re ruiining the country!

I’m glad somebody else noticed the chastising that came out of Obama’s mouth. I don’t know if he meant it to sound like he was chastising the CBC for calling him out, or as he calls it, complaining and crying, but it sounded like that to me. This guy just doesn’t get it. He’s not entitled to any of our support, he has to re-earn it, since he’s betrayed and disappointed us so many times.

I found it amazing this president, who’s ignored the plight of unemployment crisis and the foreclosure crisis affecting the Black community, for him to come out and chastise the CBC for them trying to get him to focus on this crisis is beyond arrogant.

I wrote this at the time, and I’m restating it again, anyone who thought Obama would suddenly grow a spine after the 2010 elections was smoking something. I said then this guy would push for and pass policies coming from this Republican house, and that’s exactly what he’s done. He’s worked with Boehner and Cantor, and pushed aside the Democrats in the Senate and House. He forced them to vote for more GOP legislation claiming it would damage his electoral chances if nothing got passed on the debt ceiling.

I wrote this then and I’m rewriting this again, if ever there were a time President Obama had to do nothing, and he would score a big political victory, it was the debt ceiling. So what Democrats, especially Progressives and Liberals, need to get through their heads is this; this is no progressive or liberal presidency. He is decidedly to the right of the party and the country. His debt ceiling deal with the GOP was no abberation because its become characteristic of his presidency.

Yes he brags about passing Mitt Romney’s health care bill, and he’s adopted every right wing talking point on the wars, national security, and the economy. It ought to obvious to any person center left or firmly on the left this guy believes in these GOP policies, and scorns anything to the left of Ronald Reagan. His actions tells us that. If Obama and his team don’t think the election last night was an omen, then all is lost. We ain’t see nothing yet!!!!!

Was there ever a doubt Obama would put Medicare back on the table. Wait for it, Social Security’s not far behind. For those stupid, moronic people out there still saying this guy is playing chess, you’re a freaking moron! This guy is bound and determined to hand the election over to the Republicans next year so he can be remembered as a President willing to do big things, and enact a huge deficit package. Nevermind the huge thing he’s doing is the exact same thing the GOP would do, and it only asks sacrifice from the people who can least afford it, and have already given so much. This ought to answer the other rumor floating around about Obama, YES HE IS A REPUBLICAN.

As far as his mediocre job package goes, to quote Ronald Reagan, HERE WE GO AGAIN! More failed policies from this Republican president. Let’s see, extend the payroll tax cut desgned by the GOP as a backdoor maneuver to undermine Social Security and Medicare more quickly, and here’s the cherry on top, they get to blame Democrats for it. Extension of unemployment benefits, great idea. Better to spend billions on benefits that pay around 40% of actual wages, instead of taking those billions, investing them in infrastructure projects, green jobs, and transportation jobs with full wages. Makes sense to me?

Can somebody please tell me once again why this guy shouldn’t be primaried and pushed out of the Democratic party? I’d swear Bush is inhabiting Obama’s body. If this is what the Democratic party stands for, count me out. If we’re going enact the GOP’s policies, and give them the pleasure of blaming them on Democrats, why not let the REAL GOP enact them. If we’re going to continue over the cliff, let’s not let the Democratic party go over with it. Let’s let Obama stand and fall completely on his own, as he apparently thinks the American people should. I’ve had it!!!!!!!

This won’t last long. As soon as the GOP falsely claims this is causing jobs, Obama will back off, once again.

Once again, Obama loving progressives, tell me this couldn’t have been done by a Republican president. I could close my eyes and imagine that Bush is still in the White House, since we are basically still following Bush’s policies on just about everything. We elected a Democratic president on the platform of change, and I’ve seen very, very little change. For those of you who still call this guy a progressive, you need to get over yourselves and face the truth about Obama.

I could do this all day, you know! It seems there is story after story proving me right when it comes to Obama and his political leanings.

Hey Obama supporting progressives still in existence, try this little exercise. Try and forget who Obama is and read this statement released by the White House, and tell me this couldn’t have been submitted by a Republican president. WOW, talk about buying the right wing talking points.

So, let more children die from respiratory related diseases because the GOP, without any proof at all, claims it will kill jobs. Funny, since the jobs reported just came out and absolutely no jobs are currently being created. I guess in Obama’s mind, this means that more de-regulation and tax cuts is the way to go to improve job creation. You’d think the supposedly “smartest” president we’ve seen some time would look at the balance sheets of coporations, and the heavily tilted wealth and income scale in favor of the rich, while at the same time, very little, if any job growth, that this would inform this intelligent president this right wing shit doesn’t work, and never has.

I hope people aren’t holding their breath waiting for some real justice with these criminals on wall street. If you are under the flawed expectation that either the Fed or the Obama administration will do a damned thing to the crooks who continue to rob the American people blind, then you’re a damned fool. That ship never reached port and never will. You need to focus your energy in another area, because there won’t be any justice coming.

For those of you who thought Bernanke would do something to improve this economy, you’re still not looking at the big picture. Let’s not forget, Mr. Bernanke is a REPUBLICAN. This is not a minor fact if you’ve been watching the GOP over the past 30 years. Beside the fact they want Obama and the Democrats out of power, they fundamentally believe a certain amount of unemployment bodes well for businesses’ profit line. The more the number of people in the available labor force, the smaller the wages.

I really wish people in this nation would do something Americans loathe to do; read, study history, and educate themselves about the issues and the people behind them. It might stop some of the small minded, naive, quite ignorant comments and articles I read on these websites. Anyone who has a keen knowledge of the Rich, Corporations, and the GOP since the time of FDR knows their only goal has been to destroy and The New Deal reforms, The Great Society programs, and the political party that put them into place.

Why Democrats, Progressives, Liberals, and anyone on the left can’t seem to accept this simple truth about the right, given all that we’ve seen in the last 30 years, starting with Ronald Reagan, is mistifying to me. Never has a political party been so obvious in their goals, and yet, with the advent of corporate money and power into the Democratic party, we play this game of shouldn’t we all just get along. This is Obama’s biggest failure; his unwillingness to recognize the enemy sitting across table from him.

There is a class war going on in America, but it didn’t just start with Obama’s presidency. This class war started with FDR and has continued until this day. Unfortunately, too many on the left refuse to acknowledge this war, while those on the right are in constant battle mode. Thus, we have the failures of the left, as the right marches on to winning this war. Too many on the left have adopted the language and policies of the right, including our President and too many in Congress. And yet, we common people out here who see clearly what’s going on continually question why our leaders don’t see it.

The Rich and Corporations became smarter. Instead of a direct attack on the New Deal and The Great Society, they instead began using the tactic of subterfuge to win the war. They convinced some on the left to see things their way, at least on economic policies. Greed is a powerful tool and they used it to their advantage to shift the balance of power. With the advent of the Democratic Leadership Council led by Bill Clinton, the New Democrat Coalition, and other Blue Dog Democrat groups, they have gotten a strong foothold on the only power that could thwart their attempt to restore the Gilded Age.

Now Progressives, who make up the largest faction of the Democratic party, are on the outside looking in, with very little, if any, political power in its own political party. Obama is just another manifestation of this new political movement of the Blue Dog Democrat. Why Progressives and Liberas, and those who still believe in the FDR, LBJ vision of America can’t see this is beyond me. The history is there if people simply take the time to read and study it.

Sadly its true!
