(18,998 posts)I know I was here then....and we did bitch...some or us that could protested in our "free speech zones" as best we could...but it was all blown off....with the promise of HOPE and TRANSPARENCY that came with Obama and we believed in him....or at least I did.
But the moment the re election was over we see the new Obama..right out of the gate it was Chained CPI and now we find out that we are in a massive surveillance state....WTF did you think we would do but be bitter about being sold hope to find out it was no hope?
Are we supposed to STFU now because we failed to stop it then?...Because it might hurt Obama?...he is not running again...we can't hurt him....I am sure when he is through he will build a nice library and Bush will come to the opening, and he may have a gig like Clinton and Bush did in Haiti to help rehabilitate the Bush brand...Jeb might have a chance after all.
You want to know how to stop this?....well there is only one way I know....a massive march on DC with people prepared to stay and be beaten and thrown into jail...and that is the only way this will end...
But no, most will take the easy way, which is to pretend this theater they put on for us is real, and will learn to love Big Brother....and we will divide ourselves into defenders and critics of Obama...and divided we will fall.
