As the book says, “You shall know them by their deeds” – and so far, Barack Obama’s deeds speak volumes. Furthermore, I know that saying this is like walking into a NRA meeting wearing an Osama Bin Laden costume but here goes - Barack Obama is a fraud. Sorry, if the truth hurts.
The US is not leaving Iraq as promised. Obama ‘the man of change’ is willing to let bygones be bygones with American war criminal George Bush and those in his administration (who were only following orders).
By all standards of law, George W. Bush is a war criminal. The world witnessed this criminality in his illegal war against Iraq. Hundreds of thousands of innocents died and their country was destroyed. Bush was responsible for torture and several US constitution violations such as spying on Americans, illegal wiretaps and secret detentions. But, Obama says, lets look forward not backward.
The people elected Obama so that he would clean up corporate crime and greed and regulate the financial system so that the public would regain its trust in it. Obama was elected because he was going to restore America’s reputation around the world. Obama was elected because he was going to get the US out of Iraq ENTIRELY! Obama wasn’t elected so that he would expand a winless war and start bombing Pakistan.
What a typical politician he’s turned out to be. If Obama wants the confidence of his nation, perhaps its time to find some balls and stand up and be the leader of all the people, not the mouthpiece for the elite. But as it turns out, no surprises here. Obama is cut from the same cloth that Bush was. The presidency is merely a (insert your favorite nasty word here) country club. And like most presidents, Obama prefers to sound like a leader rather than behave like one.
Good-bye American Dream, hello American nightmare.
"One of the most horrible features of war is that all the war-propaganda, all the screaming and lies and hatred, comes invariably from people who are not fighting."
—George Orwell, Homage to Catalonia, 1938
