You see it here first: A B O. That stands for Anybody But Obama. For our next election. Remember how much hope we had? How hard we worked to get Obama elected? How depressed we had been by the Bush antics for 8 years? Well folks, I hate to say it, but there really ain't much difference between the two. Okay... Obama has about 50 IQ points on Bush, and about 9 years more education, and he's 231 times as articulate as Bush. But the real differences? Not so many. We're still very much in Iraq and Afghanistan, and now Libya... the most recent war being started exactly as the first two, except that Obama forgot to even mention the involvement to Congress, which makes his action (bombing Libya) very much like those of Mr. Ghaddafi. So I've started the campaign... yep, it might be Sarah! But if it's Sarah (my Dream Team is Sarah/Arnold)... well, at least she'll be honest.
What got me started on this? Take a minute to check out HuffPost Green... click on the Bill McKibben essay about his experience bringing one of the solar panels (the original panels put up by the Carter admin and removed as one of RR's first presidential actions) back to the White House last September. Ugly ugly ugly. About as bad as politics can get. Or worse. And this is Obama! Anyway, the essay is entitled 'Notes on the Enthusiasm Gap', and it's worth a few minutes to learn a bit more about how politics work in DC. (No, that's not direct current... in fact, very far from it). It is pathetic, but it is the Obama reality... he's been bought, big time, by Big Oil, Big Banksters, Big Weapons and War, and more and more. He was for sale, and he sold himself to the highest bidders. Another gut-wrenching example was his choice of the GE CEO to play a role at the White House... the same GE that made $14 billion last year and paid not one cent of income tax. Let's hear it for Obama! (NOT)
