Compromise, and our President.

What does it mean when President Obama decides to compromise the issues that only last year he was so passionate about?

It means that once in the Oval Office, he has lost touch with the very same people who voted him into office. It means that power does corrupt everybody.

It means that there is so much money in Washington to spread around that it can and will influence even the nicest, the most ethical people.

It means that the term "conviction" has two distinct meanings, one for Politicians and one for the common folk.

For the Politician it means to say what you think people want to hear to get what you want.

To the common folk it, it means a certain moral or ethical standing about an issue that defies change, or reshaping, re-structuring or re-configuring.

Obviously  a person can have a conviction about anything and everything, but when speaking about Politicians we can assume that it has nothing to do with how to wear your baseball cap.

Right now in America the big issues at hand, Afghanistan, Iraq, Health care, Immigration, Wall St. and Banking cartel corruption, Political corruption, jobs, swine flu, Renewable energy, World dialogue, Women's issues Birth control and Abortion and for many the gay rights issues seem to be on the menu.

On all of these very important issues the President has taken a stand before election and now is waffling, side stepping, dodging, his previous statements and intentions to appease who?

The Republicans!

The people who claim that he is not a citizen ( The Birthers), the people who yell out in Congress, "You Lie" as in Joe ( the racist, the intolerant bigot) Wilson. The Tea Baggers who had nothing to say when Bush/ Cheney lied America into two wars for profit and added $$ 5 $$ TRILLION to the deficit, and gave $700,000,000,000.00 to Wall St. and Banking cartels to bail out failed Capitalism, and greed?

Mr. President this is who you want to please, these self serving intolerant, this hateful group or klan, these war mongering, brown nosing, spineless cowards who send other people's children to war to die, just so they can make money?

Mr. President do you really think that these people are your allies?

So far it looks that way.

So far on all the issues that I stated you have compromised, not because it is good, but because it is convenient for political gain.

Mr. President you spoke about conviction during your election, you spoke about Honor, about doing the right thing for the people, not the richest people, but for the powerless people. You spoke about change, about giving the common people a voice in Washington.

Where is that voice now?

Where is the man that was going to stand up to Greed and corruption in Washington?

Where is the man who was going to end war?

It seems like that man has bought into the gamed system that he said he would fight!

I am not the only person to feel betrayed and let down. Many now see that politics has no ethics, that it is purely self serving, a show for the masses to keep them in check, otherwise they may take to the streets as our Revolutionary Fore-Fathers did against the British Monarchy in the last 1770's.

Mr. President you were our HOPE for the future?

Sure you took office in the worst possible scenario from the incompetence of the Bush/ Cheney regime, but you knew that going in.

What now?

More of the same with different characters?

Mr. President you were the people's choice and reason to go to the voting booths last year on election day. Do you think that they will return knowing that not much has changed. That compromise is the basis for all of your decisions?

The President has no Bite!

Eight months into his Presidency, President Obama has made many a great speech. He can articulate exactly what he thinks and feels to a large crowd very successfully with passion and integrity. The only problem is that he is too nice a person for the job. Jimmy Carter was no different. A man of the people with a honest heart, yet very weak otherwise. We are seeing this play out again and again now, the President is back tracking on every issue, every piece of legislation just to make the other side feel good, and in doing so has completely wiped out any strength he has, or had in Congress. The President looks very weak and limp right now, and on every issue more empty speeches and no results produce failed policies.

He was voted into office from the biggest issue of the time, the two wars we have got going now in Iraq and Afghanistan and people want out of both. Only now he is wanting to send more troops to Afghanistan? This is looking just like L.B.J. after J. F. Kennedy died in the early 1960's. L.B.J. wanted to appear to be a strong Democratic President and actually pushed ahead with the war effort by putting 500,000 more troops in Vietnam, only to get 58,000 of them killed in the process, along with 3 Million Vietnamese civilians and ended up being a complete waste of time, effort, money and lives. I know well because I have been to Vietnam, and my wife lived through the entire ordeal. It was a tragedy that did not have to happen, but was forced on the USA because of greed, just like we see now. The Banking cartels, the Military Industrial complex, the Halliburton type companies, they all make 100's of Billions in war and they do not want change, they want things to stay as they are right now. Bogged down, stagnant is good for them because the money keeps pouring in from Government, while the corruptible Politicians stuff cash into their own pockets and look the other way.

Health care reform, Finance reform, war reform, immigration reform, trade reform, all  looks like not much will happen, and then in no time at all it will be election time 2012 again and we the citizens are faced with the same predicament? What's the use to vote if it means so little in the end.

Nothing short of a real revolution looks like it will have any impact on America. We are being held hostage by the politicians, they make the laws, all of them. Nothing can be done without a law being introduced and voted on, and then being put into action. Every crisis at hand right now is the result of a Politician creating a law to allow it to happen. There are no accidents ever. It is all manufactured to produce the desired results, which is to bleed the American  consumer dry of their assets, and the same goes  on World wide, for the benefit of the rich as well.

President Obama was going to lead us to the promised land? It kind of feels more like we are on our own to figure out what to do next.

The enemy is not an invisable terrorist here or in a far off land somewhere. The enemy is 100 Senators, and 435 Congressmen and women who want to get rich and powerful from their elected jobs inWashington!

This is treason.

9/11 and why Bush/ Cheney actually enabled it to happen.

Today is 09-11-2009, 8 years after somebody/ Al Qaeda/ Osama Bin Laden, organised terrorists/ freedom fighters to crash high jacked commercial  planes into the Twin Towers in New York, The Pentagon, and where the final of the four high-jacked planes crashed into the ground in a open field. For New Yorkers today represents a day in History that they saw and felt the wrath of a hostile people, Islamic conservatives create havoc like no one had ever seen before in all of our lifetimes, other than the people who actually lived through Hiroshima and Nagasaki, the bombing of Britain and the leveling of Germany at the end of WWII. Wait a minute, what about Vietnam, 3 million civilians died, two Iraq wars and Afghanistan,  many 100,000's have died  and those were and are  atrocities where millions have been killed as well?

So 9/11 deaths although very tragic for the families involved, were actually minor by comparison.

The truth is that what happened 8 years ago was an incredibly horrible act, and that 3,000 Americans died due to no fault of their own. Sadly though America, my homeland has inflicted much worse punishment on other countries that is quite indescribable.

9/11 did not happen by accident by a bunch of crazy men in a far off country. It happened because of the policies of the US Government, controlled through corrupt Politicians, for the benefit of Multi National Corporations to prop up Dictators, Kings and other thugs so that they can get access to or simply take resources that these Corporation want so that they can sell them to consumers all around the World, namely oil. If these so called terrorists were just crazy men then how did they pull off the biggest attack on our country from caves? Why were we not prepared for this attack, when we already had the same group of people attack these very same buildings back in 1993 with a car bomb? What was Bush and Cheney doing 8 months into their first term to prevent this from happening when the CIA and Security had already told them that this was imminent? When Bush was told of the first plane crash, he was reading to school kids, and barely flinched? History has now proved that the USA got into WWI because of the sinking of the Lusitania, that turned out to be a set up to push the US into War. We now know that Pearl harbor was completely preventable, but the President at the time let it happen, knowing that we were warned by the Australians and British to be prepared for such an attach!

How did the Air Force get it so wrong that they did not scramble jet fighters up into the sky to possibly have to  take military action against these high jacked planes? They did, but it just so happens on this particular day the Air Force was holding practice sessions of how to react to high jacked planes at the very same time the high jacking was taking place, so that the fighter planes had not 4 planes to track but something like 20 and did not know what to do, and which plane to track. What a coincidence! Stunning to say the least, but extremely questionable.

This does not sound like organizational failure, this sounds like an inside job!

But again back to the terrorists that planned this operation. Originally these Islamic men were fighting their own people in Palestine in 1948 the year Israel was made a country, and ever since , then in Iran to over throw the Shah, an American puppet leader and brutal Dictator to his own people that we choreographed  with the help of the CIA, now is Saudi Arabia to force the King out and to get any American Military forces off of Arab and Islamic lands. To take Russia down after it invaded Afghanistan and was there for 10 years, and we the American government covertly sponsored the Mujaheddin, who are now the Taliban with weapons that they now use on our soldiers in Afghanistan.

The goal for these terrorists/ freedom fighters  is to keep all infidels from living in Islamic countries and spreading anti Islamic or counter religious and cultural knowledge. They do not care whether America is an open society or how we act. They care that America is a Military Country that props up Dictators and Kings that use our over whelming power to enslave their own people.

Bush and Cheney got this wrong, or they were in on it. The ex CIA Director/ agent Michael Sheurer, in his book "Imperial Hubris" describes the exact same thing, in that  we knew  a decade before 9/11 why these men of Al Qaeda were doing what they were doing. They were trying to prevent the USA through our gigantic Corporations from pillaging their own homelands, and taking oil, their only resource of value, while 99.999 percent of the populations in these countries starved, and lived in the dirt,  but the King and his family, well, they of course lived like Kings. We supported the King and not the people, and that is their fight!

The same thing is going on all over the World today. America props up corruptible regimes because US Corporations want their natural resources to sell to a thirsty and  hungry World, that has an insatiable appetite.

This will continue then along the same lines.

So who is really responsible for 9/11?

American Presidents, Politicians, and profit seeking Corporations  that use the American Military as pawns in the never ending quest for profit and wealth for the few at the expense of the many.

Our own Fore Fathers reacted the exact same way when Britain controlled the original 13 colonies. They too were terrorists, and Freedom fighters then as well, and they eventually drove the British back across the Atlantic. It is a good thing that we are friends now, for they are, like Australia our closest allies and not Israel whom we support with Billions every year to prop up a religious Government that has never done anything for the benefit of the American people.

As long as  American Politicians use the American Military to invade foreign countries, and not to protect our homeland, and sovereign borders of the United States of America of  which our founding fathers had written into the Constitution than this will repeat itself over and over, and we will see the same outcome.
Bush and Cheney you cowardly, spineless, self serving  thugs.
Next invasion, Africa, the Dark continent.
