So as we all know, Obama ran his Presidential campaign on the idea of change. That he would come into office and make things right.
The sad reality is the exact opposite. Instead of listening and representing the people, he has done the exact opposite.
Before I continue, I want to make it very clear, that I was a big Obama supporter. I am neither a Democrat, or a Republican, but I liked what Obama was promising during his campaign. Transparency in the Government. (Ahhh, wouldn't that be nice.) Bringing home the troops, closing Guantonamo, and getting rid of the same old Washington insiders that were inhabiting the Washington offices.
Unfortunately Obama has turned out to be a complete dud. Another lying politician. The problem though, is that most Americans have no idea.
Obama makes a few hundred promises during his campaign, and comes through with quite a few of them, but doesn't on the most important ones.
There are currently more troops in Afganistan now, then when Bush was in office. Guantonamo is still running strong. The entire administration is made up of lobbyists and ex-Goldman Sachs employees, and for transparency? lol, what a joke.
Obama is an icon, a rockstar, a charismatic leader. He is the first African American President. People want to love him, after all, from a quick glance he is easy to like. The problem is that the average American doesn't do their homework, and because Obama appears to be looking out for everyone's best interests, people beleive that he is. This just isn't so.
First and formost, I blame the media. CNN and Fox news. These are the two networks that most americans go to for news. These are not news sources. Both networks are entertainment. End of story. It's not only that they lie about the reality of what's going on, it's what they choose to cover. If they do not cover an issue, America thinks that it is not happening. The average American can not get it through their head, that these stations have agendas. They are controlled by corporate interests and refuse to bite the hand that feeds them.
Second I blame Obama for pushing his own personal agenda, instead of the agenda of the American people. Free speech. An important constitutional right for every American? Not according to Obama and his administration. Obama's regulatory czar, Cass Sunstein, is actively trying to remove this basic right. Not happy with the job the administration is doing? Well don't try to hold them accountable or you could end up in jail. Don't believe me? I'm not asking you to, I am asking you to investigate for yourself. You won't have to look far. Cass Sunstein is also pushing for an all out ban on firearms. Please, look it up. Do not believe me, do your own research.
If we the American public, do not wake up, we are doomed. Everyday, your basic rights are disappearing. Mainstream media igroring it. We live in very scary times.
