My god….
What have I done?
I voted for this? I am partially responsible for this? I had a hand in this? I DID THIS?
How could I have been so naive, so god damned stupid to believe in this system once again? How was I so easily duped? How could this have happened?
For those of you who knew straight away what Obama was/is these are not difficult questions. You saw the fraud, the liar, the nightmarish ambition monster for who he was. You read the essays about his so called “community organizer” experience in Chicago that named this as nothing more than a PR bullshit. You were rightfully skeptical about this coward who seemed early on to want nothing more than power. For fuck’s sake…”The Audacity of Hope” should have been titled “I Really Want to be President”.
For all of these things those of you who I deem foreseers…..I salute you.
I have not been on this earth long enough to appreciate how pathetic and useless voting for one of the two Oligarchy supported parties was. I was not smart enough to look at the man behind the curtain in supporting this monstrous coward. That thought makes me sick….
I VOTED FOR THIS MAN.
I SUPPORTED THIS MAN.
I AM PART OF THIS.
Jesus fucking god….
Barack Obama is a nightmare for the American left. He has managed in two years to completely fucking destroy the democratic party. That in its self is not so tragic. What is tragic is that independents, moderate republicans and the casual non voter will look at the Obama presidency and think… “See liberalism fails”.
That is the fucking tragedy before us folks. The American people have not seen a liberal president in near eighty years but because they all believe Obama to be “liberal” they will think this BULLSHIT ADMINISTRATION is liberal governance.
There are many many nightmares that will be forthcoming in recent decades because of Obama.
When the next radical republican takes the white house…at this rate 2012… they will have the comfort of knowing that a “liberal” administration did not follow the rule of law and prosecute those who ordered torture. Imagine that power in the hands of a right wing extremist…..Immunity for the military and government when it comes to torturing suspects. Not just of terrorism (whatever the fuck that means nowadays) but drug offenses, protests, civil disobedience….
Thank you Obama….we have that now.
The right for the government to kill any citizen they deem to be a terrorist?
Thank you Obama…we have that now.
The wide open door to gut Social Security because the fucking conservatives will say “see even a LIBERAL DEMOCRAT like Obama is for it”
Thank you Obama we have that now….even if you don’t manage to do that…
But don’t worry Barack… Little adorable Malia and Sasha will be set for life….
but you will go down in history as the president who fought as a populist in campaign mode but sold the middle and lower classes down the river to protect your massive fucking ego. You have fucking failed miserably in every endeavor. You have insulted every fucking demographic that elected you.
Fat fucking chance that the youth vote, or the Gay community, or the Latino vote, or the Unions, or the anti-war crowd, or the civil liberties crowd, or the transparency in government crowd or countless others will ever support you again.
I could go on and on and on with this..But this was not really meant to be about how much obama sucks… But a thank you to those who knew, and who have known for some time that the Democrats are not on our side and are not worthy of our support.
So to those of you who saw this coming I apologize. How thoughtless and foolish I have been. How stupid and immature to support this miserable failure and to participate in selecting the man who has ultimately moved our government further right than Bush could ever have hoped.
So where do we go from here? For myself, any hope of continuing on with the democratic party is over. I am ready and able and open to suggestions.
What the hell do we do?

two parties again?
no he must not. Although much damage may have been done by that time.
Who is there to primary him? We don’t even have to win but inflict punishment – and begin a movement. Show a force.
He chose to go overseas now – and don’t tell me he didn’t know a couple of jerks would come out with their charter.
Krugman wrote a piece called Mush from the Wimp.
Unfortunately this was something that got out in a limited manner about Jimmy Carter. I always thought Carter had a spine and beliefs. But the Republicans were allowed to write his history.
This guy is a disaster – talking today about holding our opinions on the Committee until we get all the facts.
Fact this.
Forget national politics. Much of what is commonly called the left in this country has been decimated lately for various reasons…we’ve got to start rebuilding communities, running with third parties at the local level, taking direct action, and such. But we’ve got to start at the local level for most of this stuff. We’ve got to seriously organize.
He’s as republican as they get, and I’ll keep calling him that, especially if people try to point at him as an “example” of liberalism.
Are liberals batshit crazy enough to want to “bipartisan” with batshit crazy republicans and wingers, I’ll ask them. 😉
Turn it right around on them.
These are the facts – The Corporations own Wall Street, The Corporations own the Pentagon, the Corporations own the Media, the Corporations own the Supreme Court & last but not least the Corporations own the whorehouse that is Washington DC – now it is also clear that the Corporations own Obama. Who knew the first black president would have more in common with Clarence Thomas than Dr. King????
What to do? Other than buying as little as possible from Corporations & breaking free from the hypnotic Corporate marketing images that tell use to consume consume….
We the People have been sold increasingly down the river these last 30 years. We the Corporations are THE nightmare that has raped & pillaged the American dream!
What to do? They have the money, the power, the brain-dead lust for endless greed along with the insane worship of never-ending war.
We have “numbers” on our side, there are far more of US than THEM. A colony of ants can take down “anything” in its path. The top 1% controls the world & they want MORE!
When this “ant colony” of downtrodden humanity does finally AWAKE & “they WILL” – then the top 1% will see that all their money & power is meaningless & will not save them from the hell that they so “richly” deserve.
The ant colony is stirring. An America with a decimated & dead middle class will not be a pretty thing to see. But the ant colony will finally awaken. As Dylan said, “When you have got nothing, you have got nothing to lose!”
one teeny nit pick…
I dont think its about his ego.
Otherwise…. yeah.
This last election actually makes things easier for him. He now can pretend that public and private interests intersect. They are one and the same. He no longer has to pretend that there are even differences between the two.
He facilely moves from one make believe world to another.
There “is” nothing really there of substance to describe any longer. Obama exists only in the imagination. Main Street, Wall Street & Sesame Street, they’re all the same.
