(5,082 posts)Especially because the office of president has become nothing more than fundraising support for the war machine. That's why nothing gets done...it's not supposed to. It's all theater for the masses as they choke every dollar out of us to divert to weapons manufacturers and military/police(no difference anymore) contractors. It's all a sham. Obama has failed miserably and only whiners can lay it all on the feet of Congress. If Obama can't help us because of then he doesn't stand up and shout what he's supposed to believe in at the very least. No. He has joined them and it's obvious. Let's hope we don't get fooled again. I don't personally think he won the election just because he's Black. Even our own party was so personally disgusted with Hillary Clinton that they voted for the new guy who at least acted like he was there to protect the little person. But alas he had proved to be just another politician most of which are charlatans. They exist to further our deadly foreign policy and that's it. It's simply amazing to me that this President hasn't ended the drug war and NSA crimes against Americans. I'm equally dismayed he ended up promoting lobbying and secrecy instead of diminishing it. He flip flopped on everything years ago. The result was many friends of mine being to disillusioned to participate in politics on anything but the grass roots level. Mission Accomplished...the Anti-Bush, Anti-War movement was neutered by Obama. They should both give each other a medal.
