Obama Year Two: Continued Betrayal and Failure (Part I) - by Stephen Lendman
Last December, a two-part article discussed Obama's year one betrayal and failure, accessed through the following links:
In year two, the pattern continued, revealing domestic and foreign policies that:
-- outdid George Bush by exceeding his harshness, lawlessness, belligerency, and public trust betrayal;
-- maintained a 30 year agenda of shifting public wealth to the rich, as well as supporting capital, not public welfare, including targeting middle class households for destruction;
-- looted the nation's wealth, wrecked the economy, and consigned growing millions to impoverishment without jobs, homes, savings, social services, or futures;
-- let hunger, homelessness, poverty, and those uninsured grow to unacceptable levels;
-- backed Wall Street's financial coup d'etat by greater Fed empowerment, as well as institutionalizing speculation, "too-big-to fail," super-wealth, and big money power;
-- plans new global monetary measures to control the world's money;
-- continued America's permanent war agenda by expanding imperial adventurism, increasing covert and overt aggression on new fronts with out-of-control military spending, exceeding the rest of the world combined at a time America has no enemies;
-- became the latest war criminal Nobel Peace Prize recipient;
-- executed his first successful coup d'etat in Honduras against its democratically elected president, then backed the fascist regime replacing him;
-- failed attempting regime change in Iran;
-- continued providing military, economic and political aid to the world's most ruthless, corrupt despots;
