In reply to the discussion: I woke up today and President Barack Obama is still President of the United States of America [View all]Fire Walk With Me
(38,893 posts)that Obama is a Wall Street shill and does corporate bidding again and again and again while many Americans are living paycheck to paycheck...you may have missed this week that MacDonalds actually posted a recommendation that those not making enough at their job, get a second job. This is the reality while many cheer themselves into consensus reality and alienate all who can see through the energetic effort.
I voted for Obama and got this stupid NDAA section 1021 instead, which provides for the indefinite detention of US citizens with neither trial nor representation. And the DHS destroying the 4th Amendment with its "can seize your personal electronics along the entire border and up to 100 miles inland on a hunch" concept, with Occupy having faced what the FBI and "patriot act" define as domestic terrorism, eliminating the 1st Amendment, with the Supreme Court voting that you can't protest here in spite of the Constitution, with a court ruling that silence in court can be used against you, harming the 5th Amendment, with extra-judicial executions of US citizens...how much more of the US Constitution must be shredded by Obama before people say WHAT THE FUCK and do something?
THIS IS NOT A POPULARITY OR PURITY CONTEST. The Bush family and their neocon buddies are taking over the country and Obama is adding to their works!
