Obama: more dangerous than Bush (Reverend Wright was correct about Obama just being another politician)
Barack Obama has continued to prove that he said things to get votes that he had no intention of actually doing. He espoused morals and ideals in order to fool voters.
He is a serial deceptionist, a liar, and more dangerous than Bush. Look how much Bush loves him, that is one tight hug, like I would only give to my dad or brother.

This is because he has erected a cult-following of Dem-bots that will justify anything he does, no matter what.
I do not know why Barack Obama calls him self a Democrat, other than Bush poisoned the Republican brand so bad that Obama opportunisticly rode a wave of NEED for change, and fooled the country in the most Machiavellian and disgusting way.
I pray that Obama does not get a second term, and an actual Democrat can be elected who is truthful, and has one or two progressive bones in his body.
Obama has vast record of breaking his promises on the primary trail. Obama lying to your face is his Modus Operendi:
1. NAFTA
Hopey-Changey Obama: "I would immediately call the president of Mexico, the president of Canada, to try to amend NAFTA, because I think that we can get labour agreements in that agreement right now," Obama said. "And it should reflect the basic principle that our trade agreements should not just be good for Wall Street; it should also be good for Main Street."
Gotchya Suckers Obama: "Sometimes during campaigns the rhetoric gets overheated and amplified,"
bottom line: Obama says slowly and clearly to the 10million auto workers, the whole middle class, unions, and the entire state of Michigan: FUCK YOU! DIE SLOWLY! Barack Obama has no compunction about lying to voters faces about the issues that effect and affect them the most, it was in fact a deliberate strategy. How the fuck did his rhetoric get "overheated and amplified"? What a bunch of bullshit.
2. FISA
Hopey-Changey Obama:
Bill Burton issues a statement, October 24, 2007, reaffirming Obama's position and pledging to support Chris Dodd's filibuster:
"To be clear: Barack will support a filibuster of any bill that includes retroactive immunity for telecommunications companies."
Gotchya Suckers Obama: Obama votes for cloture on the FISA bill that included retroactive immunity for telecoms
bottom line: Obama threw his lot in with the criminals in our Government, he is no different than any common crook of the Bush Administration. Coopting the arguments, language of Bush, Obama shows the country how he will act when he becomes the King.
3. Torture
Hopey-Changey Obama: Obama says waterboarding is torture, and nobody is above the law.
Gotchya Suckers Obama: Obama mimmicks the exact words of Bush: "The United States doesn't torture." Obama then proceeds in Orwellian language to insist that the last thing the head of the executive branch should do is actually enforce laws, or investigate crimes, cuz they are in the past, and distractions. Except (of course) for the crimes commited by ordinary citizens, who are locked up at the highest rate and totals in all of the Earth.
bottom line: Obama has the gall to pretend like it is his decision alone on who/when/how to prosecute lawbreakers. He shows the country that he thinks that crimes are acceptable if committed by high-ranking government officials.
Torture got worse at Gitmo after Obama was elected according to prisoners there:
. Obama has claimed King priveleges to ship Muslim prisoners to Bagram and torture them forever with no trial. I think Obama takes pleasure in torturing Muslims, because he resents his middle name, and his father that abandoned him like the garbage he turned out to be.
4. Covering up Government (War) Crimes
Hopey-Changey Obama:
Gotchya Suckers Obama: President Obama insists "we should be looking forward and not backwards."
bottom line: Covering up War Crimes is a War Crime. Obama is no better than Bush on this. But we are just "ordinary citizens" so why should King Obama care about what he says to us?
5. Blackmailing the citizenry of Britain
Hopey-Changey Obama: OK, there was never any pretense here, but this is so dispicable and thuggish it needs to be pointed out to as wide an audience as possible
Gotchya Suckers Obama:


bottom line: Obama is commiting an international War Crime by covering up War Crimes, and he is committing a crime in Brittain by covering up evidence of the torture of one of their citizens. I hope all you Dems out there are proud of Obama blackmailing a whole country and threatening them with a terrorist attack unless they too illegally cover up for Bush's War Crimes. Fucking awesome!
6. Health Care
Democratic presidential hopeful Barack Obama, seeking support from labor union members in New Jersey, vowed Monday to make health insurance available to all Americans by the end of his first term in the White House.
''We can have universal health care by the end of the next president's first term, by the end of my first term,'' Obama said, bringing 600 union workers to their feet during a question-and-answer session with members of AFL-CIO affiliated unions.
Gotchya Suckers Obama:
"Got the little single-payer advocates up here.....The only problem is that we're not starting from scratch. We have historically a tradition of employer-based health care. ....We don't want a huge disruption as we go into health care reform where suddenly we're trying to completely reinvent one-sixth of the economy...... If you don't have health care or you're highly unsatisfied with your health care, then let's give you choices, let's give you options, ....produce a bill before the August recess. And it may not have everything I want in there or everything you want in there, but it will be a vast improvement over what we currently have."
bottom line: I supported Obama in the primary, but I always thought Clinton's healthcare plan was better. It is still extremely disheartening. We are looking at at least 8 years of the same shitty for profit abuses and poor health care. Obama has his public option, why should he care about others? Additionally, it was those union workers' own faults for believing what Obama said, not Obama's fault for lying yet again.
7. Military Commisions
Hopey-Changey Obama: "we need not throw away 200 years of American jurisprudence while we fight terrorism"
Gotchya Suckers Obama: "will permit commissions to prosecute terrorists effectively ... This is the best way to protect our country, while upholding our deeply held values"
bottom line: I'm glad Obama doesn't even attempt to explain why we can't use our existing courts to try terrorists. After all, once he is elected King, he is the only person whose opinion matters. He is so much smarter than us "ordinary citizens", we wouldn't be able to understand anyway.
8. DADT (gay bashing)
Hopey-Changey Obama AND Gotchya Suckers Obama: http://www.towleroad.com/2009/05/jon-stewart-nails-obama-on-dont-ask-dont-tell.html link to John Stewart showing Obama's continued hypocrisy and outright dishonesty
bottom line: way to break the stereo type of the homophobic black guy, you should be proud of yourself Obama! And the bigger threat to our security is gays translating versus the backlog of wiretaps of suspected terrorists. FAAAABULOUS!
I am done with Obama, he is worse than Clinton. He lets Al Franken and Dawn Johnsen languish, he lets cramdown fail by not lifting a finger, he plays King and knights Arlen Specter the next Democratic Senator (fuck what the voters of PA think) and makes Gillibrand his annointed dutchess. I don't think anybody voted for any of this shit! If we wanted all these disgusting behaviors from a President we would have voted for John McCain.
Face it, Obama is a fraud, additced to the power of lies and deceit. It appears to me that Obama's top priorities are:
1. (TIE) redistributing wealth from the taxpayers to the banksters AND playing basketball
2. permanent land war in Asia (how did that work out for the Romans, Greeks, and Russians?)
3. the rendition, permanent imprisonment and torture (especially slicing of penises) of Arab Muslims at his personal whim
4. Covering up the crimes of the Bush Admin, supressing evidence, or whole lawsuits by claiming national security
5. Keeping enough Republicans and Blue Dogs (Specter, Coleman, Gates) in power so that he has an excuse to not enact any of the meaningful promises he made
6. Letting EFCA fail, or become so watered down it is no change
I fully expect Obama to appoint a Federalist Society member to the supreme court to cap off his DINO performance

I always appreciate the ad hominems. It takes a REAL grown up to personally insult an author, but not make a single attempt at a coherent argument to back up your insults.

The person whio used the terms: "Hopey-Changey Obama", "Gotchya Suckers Obama", and "King Obama"; in this post is now complaining about ad hominems...
The ad hominem that amuses me the most, is your self-description as an "author".

Lis and Sam, my best guess is that this has something to do with the spring semeter ending, and all of the kiddies are home. Not old enough to go to the bar, not wanting to hang out downstairs with the parents, so their sitting in their underoos and trying to show the world that they larned sumpin' in skool this year.

I went back and read your comment on another one of my blogs, where you said:
"I voted for him because our country needed a dramatic facelift."
well, I care about issues, not having a president with a different color face, and a better smile. I wasn't upset about George Bush's face, it was his policies.
The difference between us is that you only care about superficial changes, and I care deeply about actual changes in the laws that can make a positive difference in the lives of people.
So you just want a "facelift" and then you will "dance on the deck" for four or eight years. That is not a formula for acheiving any real goals, other than a facelift, a cosmetic elective surgery. You are a great example of the cult of personality (or you can start the cult of the facelift)

Wow dude, you are so talking out your as here. If you're going after LisB of all people, you must be completely unaware of your own bullshit. Your whole spin off of "facelift" is so far off base that I question your intelligence.
And how is it that you went from being in Grant Park and writing your gushing post about the "magic", to being a complete Obama-hater now? WTF is up with that?

Wow, an ingenious maneuver: pretend that a metaphor was meant literally.
In what textbook does that even pass for a legitimate rhetorical strategy? You're arguing like a five-year-old.

I can guess what happened: after playing the circus of partisan self-delusion to get elected, Obama stepped into the cone of silence and learned what will be classified for a very long time. And after learning these secrets we can't see, he has changed position on a few things that were near and dear to the delusional hearts club at the extremities.
Now if only he would relent on life.

1. In Re: NAFTA - where/when did Obama say "slowly and clearly to the 10million auto workers, the whole middle class, unions, and the entire state of Michigan: FUCK YOU! DIE SLOWLY!"? Why do you falsely portray Obama's admission that his NAFTA rhetoric had been "overheated and amplified" as a broken campaign promise. You claim to have supported Obama in the primaries, yet he made that correction In a June 2008, in a Fortune interview.
2. In Re: FISA - On February 12, 2008, Obama reiterated his opposition to telecom immunity in the FISA Amendments Act, while at the same time clearly stating that he felt the FISA legislation was imperative to National Defense. Obama never backed away from his commitment to support any FISA Amendments Act Filibuster grounded on telecom immunity. He di vote for cloture on July 9, 2008, in Senate Roll Call Vote 167, but that was after The Specter Amdt. No. 5059; To limit retroactive telecom immunity was defeated 61-37-2 in Senate Roll Call Vote 165. It takes 61 Senators to filibuster; there was NO filibuster to support.

Just curious,
"The Specter Amdt. No. 5059; To limit retroactive telecom immunity was defeated 61-37-2 in Senate Roll Call Vote 165."
Which way did he vote on that? If he voted for it, your point makes sense, else it doesn't. How did he speak on the issue?
Mostly rhetorically asked except I don't know offhand.

I stated the vote for the Specter Amendment improperly. The vote tally was 37-61-2.
Obama voted Yea in Roll Call Vote 165: the Specter Amendment to FISA, which would have lilmited telecom retroactive immunity.
Obama also voted Yea in Roll Call Vote 164: The Dodd Amendment to FISA, which would have struck Title II-Protections For Electronic Communication Service Providers, from the legislation. It failed passage with the vote count: 32-66-2
Obama voted in support of every offered Amendment to FISA which would have either eliminated or limited telecom immunity from the legislation, and all amendments failed to pass with less than 41 in support which is the filibuster minimum. There was no telecom immunity filibuster to support.

Yeh, but it was clear from context what you did mean. Thanks for the reminders on Obama's votes.

3. In Re: Torture - Even if Binyam Mohamed's allegations that he was tortured worse after the 2008 Presidential election are true; this in no way is an indictment against Obama. Obama was Inaugurated January 20, 2009, yet on February 14, 2009, Binyam Mohamed was visited by three British embassy officials and a doctor to check on his health, and they found "no immediate medical concerns that would prevent him from travelling to the UK". He was released from Guantanamo Bay February 23, 2009.
The DOJ's appeal of Judge John D. Bates' April 2, 2009, memorandum opinion, which decided a very limited subset of prisoners detained at Bagram had a right to contest their detention in using habeas corpus appeal in the Federal Courts, had nothing to do with torture. It's two main thrusts were: that the decision was premature, because Obama had a task force working on the issue that hadn't completed its report, and that it would grant habeas corpus rights to combatants picked-up in Pakistan, and being held at Bagram under the Geneva Conventions. The Pakistan border frontier surely should be considered a part of the Afghanistan Theatre of War.
4. In Re: Covering up Government (War) Crimes and Blackmailing the citizenry of Britain - Your Obama quote is out of context. It was in an answer to a question obut Sen Leahy's proposed Truth Commission February 9, 2009 Press Briefing
You used the same link in both the Covering-up and blackmailing charges: A UK Court's denial of a Binyam Mohamed to declassify seven paragraphs from a previous decision. Your assertion that this indicates the Obama Administration was in some blackmailing the UK Government is preposterous any easily refuted by just reading the last paragraph of the decisions, which you artfully excluded from you unnecessary screenshots (The PDF you linked to is easily copy/pasted text):May 16, 2009 6:59 AM | Reply | Permalink

It may not have healthcare in it but I'll give a way cool speech about it and say "reform" a lot and nothing will change for you and those poor slobs without healthcare, well, the dirty secret is that neither you or I give darn about them do we? We're cool and being sick is just not cool.

Every time I'm feeling down on Obama ... someone comes along who's so damn crackpotty that it puts me on the side of defending our president again.
You should study the title of your post for a minute. Obama's another politician, trying to do a screwed up job. Difficulty realizing the ideal, or even an occasional bad decision, doesn't translate into ill-intent which is the real implication of your post.

I post here to blow off steam, and it makes me laugh to read all of the comments about my age, basement, summer vacation, etc. The maturity it takes to call somebody a 5-year old, etc, is really astounding.
I'm not the one insisting on protecting torturers, and rewarding the banksters with taxpayer monies for fraudulent activities.
By all means attack me! That will solve all of your problems: having to read about Obama's constant capitulation to the factions and ideas he ran against.
You have to be willfully self-deceptive not to see this, if you read much. The WSJ editors are Obama's new biggest fans. You Obama-bots should realize the company you keep: the WSJ editorial page.
The Wall Street Journal is gloating:
President Obama's endorsements of Bush-Cheney antiterror policies are by now routine . . . . Mr. Obama deserves credit for accepting that the civilian courts are largely unsuited for the realities of the war on terror. He has now decided to preserve a tribunal process that will be identical in every material way to the one favored by Dick Cheney . . . Meanwhile, friends should keep certain newspaper editors away from sharp objects. Their champion has repudiated them once again.
