Obama: Wall Street and Corporate Puppet Extraordinaire

Seriously now, is anyone out there familiar with people that continue to entertain the idea that US Presidents represent the majority? If so, I strongly suggest reviewing your associations and possible friendships -- it was aptly put some time ago, "let the dead bury the dead." Obama is perhaps the most servile president to the plutocrats in modern history; he is both a traitor to his race -- and an insult to men like Martin Luther King and Malcolm X -- and a treasonous dog to his nation. A bullet in the brain is too good for such traitorous vermin. Justice and the rope are far more appropriate.

I can't hear you, people!

Throughout his tenure, Obama's done what supporters thought impossible. He's governed to the right of George Bush. He mocks rule of law principles and other democratic values. He prioritizes wars on humanity. He's waging multiple direct and proxy wars and illegal interventions. The war on terror subterfuge only superficially disguises his crimes.

More wars are planned by Obama's handlers. He's been ordered to dispatch more US special forces to 35 African countries. They already infest most others. CIA elements operate everywhere. They come to destabilize, disrupt and replace governments, not help.

Ally France attacked Mali, Obama immediately offered support. Ravaging yet another northern African country, expect more to follow.

Obama prioritizes regime change, replacing independent governments with pro-Western puppet ones. He mocks legitimate governance.

Under orders, he challenges Russia's military strength. He targets China's growing economic might. At the same time, he's in bed with rogue Israeli governance. He supports some of the most ruthless corrupt tyrants in the world.

He's economically and socially destructive at home. He spurns the PEOPLE and popular interests. He looted the nation's wealth. He wrecked the economy. He consigned millions to poverty and eliminated their jobs.

He institutionalized tyranny. He targets all dissenters and whistleblowers that challenge political corruption, corporate crooks, abuse of power and lawlessness.

He's a slick but transparent con man. After all the LIES he's told and all the harm he's caused, the lobotomized half of the nation continues to support him. He has become the first president to brandish and boast a grossly illegal mafia style murder/hit list -- do YOU really continue support this criminal black lackey? He gets away with murder and treats average people with scorn.

Most people haven't a clue. They're out of touch. They don't understand what harms them. They ignore their own welfare.

Some perhaps don't care. Others are dismissive. They know more about bread and circus media propaganda than vital major issues.

Obama exploits ignorance to the full. He governs lawlessly. He's in bed with corrupt monied criminal interests. They OWN him.

He plans throwing most Americans under the bus. It's his scheme to give them more. America is more hypocrisy than democracy.

Obama is money power’s point man. He takes orders and salutes his masters. He prioritizes destroying America's social contract.

On January 14, he did what he does best. He lied. He's a serial liar. He's a moral coward. In the White House East Room, he held his final first term press conference. Duplicity substituted for truth.

Republicans and Democrats agreed years ago to erode vital social benefits en route to eliminating them altogether. Obama pretends otherwise.

"They (Republicans) will not collect a ransom in exchange for not crashing the American economy," he said.

"The financial well-being of the American people is not leverage to be used. The full faith and credit of the United States of America is not a bargaining chip."

Remember years earlier. He stressed "shared sacrifice." Left unexplained then and now is who shares and who sacrifices.

Things haven't changed. Rhetoric belies hardline policies. Political theater conceals harsh realities.

Duopoly power runs America. Global monied interests own it. Not a dime's worth of difference separates Democrats from Republicans. On issues mattering most, they're in lockstep.

Ordinary Americans have been targeted for decades. Since the mid-1970s, average inflation adjusted incomes for most people fell.

People struggle to get by. Growing millions are impoverished. Real unemployment is 23%. It nearly matches Great Depression levels. Hunger and homelessness are major problems. Force-fed austerity is planned when stimulus is vitally needed.

Obama doesn't explain. Media scoundrels don't hold his feet to the fire. Right-wing ones attack him for the wrong reasons. The Wall Street Journal headlined "Obama Escalates Debt Fight," saying:

His message was "confrontational." He drew "battle lines." They've "hardened ahead of the next budget fight." The Journal warned about hitting America's "borrowing limit."

The nation's debt ceiling is more illusion than fact. It's practically automatically raised when reached or shortly after.

Neither party wants voters blaming them for crashing the economy. Bluster takes precedence over reality, scoring political points, and one-upsmanship is more important than serving the nation and the people.

Journal editors said more. They editorialized "The Next Tax Increase," saying:

"The new tax hike is barely law and Obama already wants more."

"He won't negotiate with Republicans," he claims. Spending cuts and higher taxes go together like ham and eggs.

He larded the year end agreement with tens of billions of dollars in corporate benefits. He's got lots more in mind. He's doing it on the backs of ordinary people.

"Once upon a time," said Journal editors, "the Democratic political strategy was 'tax, spend and elect.' And then tax some more. Republicans" better get the message "or they'll end up having to raise taxes again."

A second editorial headlined "They Have Suspicions," saying:

"Obama demonizes anyone who disagrees with him."

If "fiscal negotiations are going nowhere, perhaps it's because the president simply won't make an honest argument."

If Journal editors won't tell readers about bipartisan complicity to destroy America's social contact, perhaps it's because they don't want them to know.

Nor does Bloomberg. It headlined "Congress Can Resolve the Debt-Limit Crisis. Really," saying:

The "absurd has become sadly commonplace in Washington." Obama "compar(es) Congress to a bunch of deadbeat diners who refuse to pay their bill."

At the same time, he "was careful to say this was a crisis Congress would have to solve."

The criminal class in Washington is bipartisan. It's longstanding. It's worse now than ever. Media scoundrels substitute bluster for plain truth.

Fiscal cliff hype reflects doublespeak duplicity. Financial crisis conditions don't exist. Bloomberg, Journal editors, and other media scoundrels won't explain. Stoking fear, concealing truth, and blaming victims furthers their agenda.

Obama, complicit Republicans, and most Democrats operate the same way. Demagoguery substitutes for telling it like it is. Both parties are two sides of the same coin.

Neither one explains. Media scoundrels duck and cover. Grand bargain betrayal was planned long ago. Political theater conceals its harshness.

At issue isn't deficit cutting. It's destroying America's social contract. It prioritizes what bankers, other corporate favorites, and super-rich elites want most.

It's third-worldizing America. Neo-serfdom is planned. Most Americans haven't a clue. Dark forces take full advantage.

Obama's their point man. He's got four more years to finish what his first term began. Worse than ever times loom. They've been happening gradually for decades.

They're planned incrementally. It's like boiling a frog. Eliminating America's social contract is on the menu. It'll be dinner when served.

America already isn't fit to live in. Imagine how much worse ahead is planned.
