Barack the Charlatan

I'm no supporter of Obama's. Though it took me a while to come around, the best I can say for him is he is a very educated, charming, intelligent, articulate servant of the most high-level corporate and military-industrial interests. Where to begin in criticizing Barack Obama? Let's see...

‎1. Obama continued the Bush Regime bailouts of Wall Street criminals (AIG, for example) who brought about the Great Recession.
2. Nobel Prize winning Obama escalated the disastrous Afghanistan War. And "we've" gone back to funding "our" wars off the books, through "supplemental funding bills." The Obamites are using a Chinese credit card to pay for endless war, just like the Bushies did.
3. He has failed to live up to his promise to get the US out of Iraq.
4. The Obama administration weakened the rules against off-shore oil drilling in March, only a month before the Deepwater Horizon blowout.
5. Barack Obama has not only failed to close Guantanamo, as he promised, his administration has bent over backwards to let Bush Regime torturers escape justice.
6. Obama ditched those liberal Democrats who argued for a "Public Option;" his "Health Care Reform" will end up benefitting Big Insurance to the tune of many tens of billions of dollars.
7. Now it appears that Obama has appointed a panel to "study" ways to "fix" Social Security. The commission is stacked heavily with Washington Insiders who favor privatization and investment of social Security funds in the stock market.

Nope, I'm afraid Obama and his administration are not friends of anyone on the Left.
