Barack Obama - Employee Of The Month
http://www.michaelmoore.com/words/mike-friends-blog/dwight-was-right

"It matters not whom we elect. The Pentagon and the military contractors call
the shots. The title 'Commander in Chief' is ceremonial, like 'Employee of
the Month' at your local Burger King." – Michael Moore

Dwight Was Right

By Michael Moore
Today's OpenMike blog
So...it turns out President Eisenhower wasn't making up all that stuff about the military-industrial complex.
That's what you'll conclude if you read Bob Woodward's new book, Obama's War. (You can read excerpts of it here, here and here.) You thought you voted for change when you cast a ballot for Barack Obama? Um, not when it comes to America occupying countries that don't begin with a "U" and an "S."
In fact, after you read Woodward's book, you'll split a gut every time you hear a politician or a government teacher talk about "civilian control over the military." The only people really making the decisions about America's wars are across the river from Washington in the Pentagon. They wear uniforms. They have lots of weapons they bought from the corporations they will work for when they retire.

to the others even in our party who have betrayed the call to fairness,I say he deserves employee of the year!!
