The aduacity of Obama

That's it, I've lost what little faith I had in the goodness of our president, President Obama. So have other liberals and progressives like Blake and Leslie.

As the new Republicans have tipped their hands and overstepped the bounds of decency, President Obama is beginning to show his true colors. Today the NY Times published an article about GE which exposes the company's insidious and corrupt practices that have made them leaders in the field of corporate-welfare fraud. How else could a corporation with billions of dollars in profit collect billions more in tax refunds while shipping jobs overseas? That would be both criminal and seditious if GE were a person, but GE is a transnational corporation and therefore has no allegiance to any country, only to profit.

President Obama promised to keep his administration free from lobbyists, yet he has hired at least 45 former lobbyists to fill positions within his administration. The President has appointed Jeffery R. Immelt, Mr. ship our jobs to China, as chairman of the President's Council on Jobs and Competitiveness.

Okay, I get it. The Great Recession was just the opening act preceding the second Great Depression. Our President did hire the same criminal Wall Street Banksters that engineered the economic meltdown of 2008 to "fix" the game. They are back at it, finding new ways to screw The People for the benefit of the new Oligarchs.

Who will stand and lead us from the tyranny of the kleptocrats? There aren't many people I trust anymore. Perhaps we could convince Bernie Sanders or Thom Hartmann to run for President. I trust Thom, he's been telling the truth for a long time now. I'm sure Denis Kucinich will make a run, God bless him.

How do you think can lead us from the brink of disaster?
