19. K & R
If you were like me you got lost in the speeches about hope and change. I can only come to 2 possibilities:

A) Obama just sang us a sweet song just to get elected. He really wasn't the progressive his rhetoric and his career made him out to be. While it may have been the cons who wailed and gnashed their teeth they really had nothing to fear, we were the ones getting suckered.

B) We gravely underestimated the traitors, those who would stage phony wars, wiretap, imprison and torture to expand and protect their spheres of influence. They hold sway in the military, law-enforcement and "intelligence" communities as well as industries vital to the nation and they will not relinquish their power lightly to some "neophyte" (as our president has been slandered) just because his campaign slogan is CHANGE.

There is one more possibility:

C) Ross really is a dedicated public servant with America's best interests at heart and PE Obama knew Ross was the best man for the job who could share his future for America's future foreign policy goals in the biggest war zone on the planet.

:sarcasm:

So, were we duped or are we seeing the manifestations of the fascists refusing to give up their power and forcing Obama into directions he would never accept on his own?

Maybe this is why Israel felt green-lighted to attack Gaza: they knew their neocon PNAC'er was going to be around to keep an eye on our president.
