The Election Of The Greatest Con-Man In Recent History

Just one thing: if you're going to criticize, criticize the oligarchic system that Obama very much represents, not the man himself. Anyone from the mainstream parties is going to go that route (i.e. will represent the upper strata of the class system in the USA).

Also, focusing on Obama as evil incarnate is rather low IMO, especially considering the last puppet of the oligarchy to occupy the oval office.


Although the author of the article can be quite melodramatic at times, I'd say he hits pretty close to the mark when he writes:

"The electoral scam served several purposes above and beyond merely propelling a dozen strategic con artists into high office and the White House. First and foremost, the Obama con-gang deflected the rage and anger of tens of millions of economically skewered and war drained Americans from turning their hostility against a discredited presidency, congress and the grotesque one-party two factions political system and into direct action or at least toward a new political movement."

The threat of politics not working for oligarchic interests is a major issue in most regimes like that of the USA and Canada (to say nothing of Japan and China). It's absolutely imperative that the masses be kept looking the wrong way (god knows it's easy sometimes) and the Obama camp did a pretty good job I have to say.

As all magicians know, the trick lies in misdirection.

Obama Is Addicted to the Teleprompter

'Barack Obama may soon be known as the Teleprompter President as his dependence on his teleprompters get more notice every day. He goes nowhere without them and is not usually seen speaking without their help.
Onlookers have found that Obama with and without his teleprompter becomes two different men. While the President is fluid in his speech and shows total poise in a prepared speech, his unscreened answers or extempore speech are too full of the universal filler "umm". It has become obvious that he cannot go beyond the scripted words without a good deal of stuttering, causing a fresh wave of criticism of the president who cannot speak off the cuff.'

There is a small bunch of extreme right wing activists who haven’t accepted Obama as the president (and never will). In their eyes, Obama is an illegal alien, he is a Muslim, a Socialist, a Communist, a Fascist (calling somebody a Communist Fascist is like calling somebody a liberal conservative, or a Republican Democrat, total nonsense, but those blinded by hate don’t worry about such technicalities).
He is also a member of the Prince Hall lodge which isn't recognized by 10 of the main lodges in the US.

"In their eyes, Obama is an illegal alien, he is a Muslim, a Socialist, a Communist, a Fascist" ...but he is not a porn star. ;)

Hey petros, what's with that long post about an anti-christian new world order conspiracy back there? No offence but I laughed so hard after reading that (most of it), I nearly busted a gut!

As usual, people take the tendency of ambitious humans to jip other less-ambitious humans as way--in this case, WAY, WAY, WAY--more than what it is. Can't conspiracists just stick to reality? Is it really so hard? I mean f-ing common sense: POWERFUL PEOPLE AREN'T THAT INTERESTING. They tend to be a rather boring lot actually--comes with the territory.

That said, you do still have to keep an eye on them because like other little primates, they just luuuuuuuv their status and they will occasionally pull some nasty $hit to keep it nice and 'quo'.

Funny how there weren't half as many conspiracy theories concerning Bush. I guess he provided them with enough actual "conspiracies" (also known as making cash/doing favours on the side)--no need to make $hit up.

Obama Signs Spending Bill, Breaks Yet Another Promise

'In a not-so-surprising move today, President Obama signed into a law a "an imperfect spending bill" worth 410 billion USD. According to an article released by the Associated Press, the bill was signed in private and Obama took no questions from the press regarding the bill or its signing.
President Obama did, however, release a "signing statement", citing constitutional concerns within certain elements of the bill. But in a show of hypocracy this week, Obama criticized President Bush for frequently releasing such statements upon signing such bills into law.'

ONLY in the USA would this happen. Probably the largest brotherhood in the world and they let racism happen. Those lodges should be dis-banded. The men who belong to them are not fit to be a part of the masonic lodge.

There's probaby more anti-Obama hate on this forum than anywhere else.

Not a shred of proof on any claim made here, but lot's of laughable crap talk.

BTW, a note for Stretch --- your hero the Shrub John Howard lost because of his loyalty to Bush. Let's hear a word or two about that.

President Barack Obama: A Fraud You Can Believe In
'The hopes and prayers of the American people have finally been answered with the election of a new president: A fraud they can believe in. Yes, and even as Barack Obama demonstrates he is a fraud, phony and hypocrite par excellence - who also happens to be in way over his head - the American people still believe in him.
Yes, love is grand and his approval rating is still miraculously high. If the truth were known, that approval rating would be sinking lower than the stock market, home prices or the economy.'
