2. Once again, I find myself in complete agreement with Mr. Hartmann |
|
I wish more people were as level headed and capable of independent and methodical parsing/analysis of the specific issues at hand as Thom Hartmann.
I resent Mr. Obama for having turned me into a cynic at such young age... I wish I could say this was due to politics as usual, but that is no longer the case, I think from now on it is going to be corporate PR as usual. Sigh....

11. The speech just left me cold. |
|
Obama's Nobel prize speech is the military industrial complex's wet dream.

5. The subject line description of this video is misleading |
|
From the subject line, I expected this video to be an intelligent, focused critique of Obama's Nobel speech from a left wing, antiwar perspective. Instead, I got a rambling assortment of everything said over the past few months on the subject of Obama and America's "war on terror" (sic) from a left, antiwar perspective. Was there even a minute on Obama's actual words at the Nobel peace prize ceremony?
Anyway, perhaps this 10-minute commentary video could be a useful primer for someone on what the left thinks is wrong with some of Obama's military and foreign policies. Personally, I've been following the matter for a while, and I would like my 7 minutes back (which was where the time marker was when I abandoned hope for something thoughtful and novel.)

We're bring gently conditioned for the war of U.S. Hegemony that Bushco started.

10. Obama sounded like Bush on steroids in that speech. |
|
I bet the chimp admires him for selling the wars so eloquently.
