Not only is the Republican Party substantially different than it was under such chief executives as Eisenhower and Nixon. The same holds true of the Democratic Party as well. Picture the likes of a Thomas Jefferson, Andrew Jackson, Franklin Delano Roosevelt, Harry Truman, or John F. Kennedy succumbing to blackmail and being faced down by corporate political shills in the manner that Obama has.
This is the era of a corporate plutocracy ruled by congressional lobbyists and the New World Order. While the nation marches toward bankruptcy two unnecessary wars continue to be fought in Iraq and Afghanistan while Halliburton, Bechtel, and Monsanto make obscene profits.
You can register your outrage the way I did. You can at least have the satisfaction of having called your congressman and let him or her know precisely how you feel on this issue.
It would be nice to see the scoreboard at the end of the day with millions having spoken out as recognizing blackmail when they see it. Obama needs to feel the outrage as a candidate who has spurned one of his major campaign promises in the face of pressure from Republican plutocratic spear carriers.
