Obama, the new Presidential Slumlord for America's Rich by W. Christopher Epler (Bill) Page 1 of 2 page(s) |

Obama is turning out to be just the new Presidential slumlord in America's Dictatorship of the Rich. What can we logically conclude from Obama's appointments, interviews, etc., to date? Well, it ain't good. First, it's heart breakingly obvious that many of his most critical appointments are MILITANTLY anti Palestinian and anti Muslim. Ergo, so much for his b.s. campaign promises about a diplomatic approach to the Middle East. In short, it looks like it's going to be samo, samo war mongering for the next four years. And it WILL be for only four years, because Americans are fed up with Presidential (and now Presidential Elect) lies to the skies. We've been down that road with the corporate fascism and religious fanaticism of Bush. Also, we should NEVER forget that it's a matter of objective, historical record that Prescott Bush (Bush's treacherous grandfather) tried to engineer a German coup d'etat in America during the 30's, but FDR stopped it in its tracks. Ironically, the dufus grandson may have done much better, since America is now crawling with WW2 type fascists and our Constitutional Republic is in ruins. We should also remember that much of the Bush Family fortune came from secret "deals" the Bush's made with the Nazis. 
However, back to Barack Obama and the astounding discrepancies between what he promised he would do (over and over again during the primaries and the Presidential campaign) and the VERY RIGHT WING direction of his upcoming presidency.
Perhaps the biggest problem in America is that we are now saddled with two political parties, BOTH of which are very far to the right of what the exit and political polls overwhelming indicate is an American electorate mostly made up of progressives, moderates, and independents. Indeed, this was precisely the political base (again the demonstrable MAJORITY of the country) which elected him.
Thus NEITHER party is even close to the will of the American people.
Meaning? Clearly our fundamentally ONE dem/pug party political system is manifesting the will of:
(1) A national/international tiny cabal of multimillionaire and multibillionaire Greek God like elites,
(2) The Israeli lunatic fringe of right wing fanatics who do NOT represent the will of the complex state of Israel, even though these are exactly the people and American special interest groups the Clinton's have been licking the boots of for decades, plus
(3) Palin-type religious fanatics and Third Reich loving skinheads who, once again, do not even minutely represent the will of the United States of America.
So, where is Obama in all of this? Alas, it's really nonsense to think the jury is still out on that question since Obama has morphed into Bill Clinton and the self same DLC Clinton machine that puked out the 2006 Congress of right wing dem traitors.
And this DLC Clinton machine, in turn, is a puppet of national/international elites and extremist Israeli right wing fanatics who have been dictating American foreign policy for the last eight years via the neocon cablal. Perhaps we should call Obama's recycled neocons the neo-neocons.
It's really very simple. Somewhere along the line, perhaps well before the primaries, the factual evidence to date (e.g., appointments, interviews, etc.) indicates that Obama sold his soul to the elites, neo-neocons, and the DLC Clinton machine.
The one exception is his appointment for Attorney General who must be giving nightmares to racist southern sheriff's (and Godspeed to that!), but what about all the rest of us? What about the working class? What about the middle and lower classes? It's almost an agony to watch Obama's emerging policies about the economy because:
(1) His "team" is mostly made up of the same slobs, crooks, and greed heads who set up things to make this recession possible IN THE FIRST PLACE (nearly all Clinton appointees), and

THE TURNING OUT OF THE ELITES OBAMA
THIS IS MORE LIKE IT BILL, WHEN A CANDIDATE WOUND UP WITH 750 MIL, IN HIS COFFERS, AN BROKE THE ALL TIME RECORD. WHO IS HE GOING TO WORK FOR. http://www.bestcyrano.org/THOMASPAINE/?p=698 by MARGARET BASET (0 articles, 0 quicklinks, 0 diaries, 345 comments [45 recommended, 0 rejected]) on Saturday, Dec 6, 2008 at 3:23:58 AM  (0+)

True disappointment vs. I told you so
With great confidence, I assert that it is MUCH too soon to write off the Obama administration. Although it appears that President-elect Obama is our leader (Bush, with a bad case of senioritis, is goofing off in class), he and his administration in fact have NOT yet taken office. It is impossible to declare with any credibility that "Obama is turning out to be just the new Presidential slumlord in America's Dictatorship of the Rich." There are far too many people already foaming at the mouth to declare this administration a failure. I suspect these are people who didn't vote for then-Senator Obama for whatever reason, and are hoping to validate their pre-election claims that Obama isn't and never was ready for the job he will soon undertake. Bill, your sentiments concern me. Which is more important to you: that you might get a chance to say "I told you so", or that the new administration succeed and resolve, or at least to some degree, the many pressing issues facing this nation? Constructive criticism and expressions of disappointment are appropriate, but not until this new administration takes office and begins to face the challenges they know they inherit. by Beth McKinley (4 articles, 0 quicklinks, 2 diaries, 9 comments) on Saturday, Dec 6, 2008 at 10:17:08 AM (0+)

Obama's conformation is moot. He's already shown his hand.
Elizabeth, I hear you, but this really isn't "I told you so" because I was one of the sucker activists who got Obama elected in the first place. However, from his FIRST appintment of Ron Emmanuel (this guy has an ugly track record, both with respect to the Middle East and as being a key player, munificently rewarded of course, in setting up the American economy for a fall in the first place -- a Clinton apointee as well of course), he's clearly setting a direction for his adminsitration which is VERY far to the right of the people who elected him. The fact that he's not "officially" the President yet is moot, since he's already played most of his cards about appointments, reinforced by interviews with himself and his appointees, and now more than ever is the time to voice our disgust and dissappointment, since what good will it do after he has all his apointees in place? No, after these appointments (short of Obama haveing a "religious experience") we're back to samo, samo making the best of things and congradulating ourselves for choosing the lesser of the evils, even though Obama has locked us into the status quo every bit as much as McCain ever would have. But was't he supposed to be our hero of "change"? To date, about the only thing he's changing is his socks. Again the core problem is that both of the politcal parties (I won't say "our" political parties since they both belong the the elites, body and soul), are tragically FAR to the right of the majority of American citizens and voters, as has been overwhelmingly demonstrated by political polls and even the exit polls of this last election. The institutionalized version of this "money talks" pull to the right is, of course, the DLC Clinton machine which puked out the 2006 congress of right wing dem traitors. So, if they aren't representing us, who the h___ DO they belong to. Easy. The elites and the billionaire religious fanatics of the Israeli lunatic fringe right wing, i.e., the neocon cabal which is still totally alive and well. Indeed Obama's recycled neocns ("neo-neocons" ?) have never, do not now, and will NEVER represent the United States of America) -- and exactly the same is true for the DLC Clinton machine. Anyway, these two forces have pulled Obama far the the right of the majority of the American electorate, as they have all presidents for decades. Later, who knows? I'm desperately trying to keep some kind of faith, but IF Obama turns out to be even barely in harmony with the idealistic Americans who voted for him, he will have to do it IN SPITE OF at least 90% of his appointees -- and that won't be easy.

Reply: typo -- sorry

Who's this guy Obama?
People tell me we need to give him time to show how wise, ethical and independent he is. I think we have already seen the real man and how well he fits the desperately hopeful but mistaken image he and we created. What will happen between now and 2012 to make another attempt at electing someone more honest and compassionate more successful? Nothing. This was the best we could do and it was not good enough. by Bryna Hellmann (2 articles, 0 quicklinks, 0 diaries, 21 comments [3 recommended, 0 rejected]) on Sunday, Dec 7, 2008 at 12:57:27 PM (0+)

Amen...
...and I'm not an overly religious person. The appointments are the story. From Rahm Emanuel who advocates "mandatory civil service" (read: draft) to Gates, the guy who loves war, the new cabinet contains the samo, samo unsavory characters. It's a big slap in the face to those who held out hope that Obama would be different. by Deborah Wells (0 articles, 1 quicklinks, 0 diaries, 92 comments [7 recommended, 0 rejected]) on Sunday, Dec 7, 2008 at 1:13:19 PM (0+)

Reply: All of which
makes me glad I voted third party. Again. It is not just his appointments that are of concern, and for me they are a major problem-it is his continual backtracking on his promises of change from the campaign. We listened to him, his supporters and his ads for months about what he was going to do if elected. Now that he is PE, he is backtracking on virtually every campaign promise. And to top it all off, he is now saying you can't hold me to what was said in the heat of a campaign Well WTF did we have to suffer through a campaign for, then?. If he is saying there is no validity to his campaign promises, then was he lying to us? Was it a false flag operation just to get elected? Will the real Obama please stand up? by Jack Harrington (0 articles, 0 quicklinks, 0 diaries, 676 comments [70 recommended, 0 rejected]) on Sunday, Dec 7, 2008 at 2:23:26 PM (0+)
