BC Idonwanna sez: White man full of fear and loathing! |
The television audience for his State of the Union speech was the smallest since 1993. Obamatron has one circumstance in his favor right now: the public approval rating of Congress is even lower than his. Repugnants are rightly viewed as a party of extremists who do only the bidding of the rich and corporate. But Obamatron is so
ideologically compromised and incremental in his policies he is unable to turn that vast unpopularity to his administration's favor. A prime example is his unwillingness to curtail an entrenched security establishment that routinely violates citizens' constitutional right to privacy. He received forty recommendations from a review panel which concluded the NSA's mass collection of communication data is illegal, but he only
incrementally addressed three or four of the recommendations in his recent speech on the issue. Nevertheless he has plenty of motivation to meddle in the internal affairs of Ukraine cold-war style while the American middle class suffocates under a mountain of debt.
Who is this occupant, a "Manchurian Candidate" constructed by Naval Intelligence and the CIA?
