5. To be Serious...

The reality of the Office is much different than the intentions that get one there. Think of the Presidents of the last 60 years that stood in the way of the ambition of the PTB and how conveniently or 'nearly' they met their fate.

Obama 'steps out of line' and there are a few thousand Shitheads that will go and have themselves convinced that he's the anti-Christ. Oh, wait... there already are, and they're just waiting for the green light.

He's the President who has been under as great a threat as Lincoln (for, ironically, almost the same reasons), and stands to pose the greatest threat to the same PTB that Kennedy did.

I challenge ANYONE to declare they'd act differently if their choice was 'Do the right thing and die' (family notwithstanding), or 'Do all the good you are allowed and live'.

I know damn well that I'd pick the former (Note to DU; I will NEVER commit suicide EVER), which is why I'll never be elected President in the US. (Or run, for that matter.)

If you all didn't notice, the ONE guy with all the best ideas (except on gun-control), was deliberately sidelined by the corporate media. They made sure that the 'real deals' never got a shot.

Get this through our thick heads- No one who will truly work for the good of the people will EVER be elected in this nation again unless we get rid of the machinations that suppress us. We cannot do that because a huge percentage of our countrymen are in the thrall of the bullshit machine.

We are in Deep Shit, and Obama is right there with us.

It's just that he makes a great scape-goat, what with his Kenyan credentials and all.

9. Are you saying the President lacks the courage
Edited on Fri Mar-25-11 09:56 AM by pscot
to stand up against the enemies of the Republic, or that he knows which side side of the bread has the butter? Either way, it's not a flattering assessment of his character.

10. I'm saying he may be afraid for more than himself.
I really do not know for certain, but this is how it appears.

8. And WHY is Guantanamo still open?

Using right-wing, deceitful tactics to bash the leader of the Democratic party is NEVER admirable.
