are we getting the picture yet?

President Eisenhower warned of the military-industrial complex and its potential to take over the country. We're ignoring his warnings.(because Obama would nevah nevah betray us) Congress won't let us close military bases to save money.(They are going to take it from the already poor) Even worse..Congress is spending trillions of dollars on weapons systems! For what? WHO is threatening us? We have bases in over 100 countries. This president just started a war in Libya! He built two new bases in Honduras! Go look at his signing statements...I did. Most have to do with the military.
