Obama Won't Say 'Mission Accomplished' In Iraq Speech

Obama & Democrats campaigned on putting the wars on the books.

They promised that if they were given the power of the White House

and control of Congress, there would be no more supplemental

spending bills to fund the wars. It hasn't happened yet. And now,

what Obama is doing is moving US troops around, leaving 56,000

combat trained & ready troops in Iraq, and shifting combat

duties in Iraq to off-the-books private contractors. The money and

funding for them and their activities (including responsibility for

the atrocities they commit in our names) now is getting buried

within Pentagon and State Department budgets. Just when it seems

Obama couldn't possibly be any more deceitful without his most

ardent admirers waking up and realizing they've been duped, he is

and they go deeper into their slumber of denial. What is it about

Obama's most ardent admirers' make-up, their internal workings,

that inhibit natural survival skills? What is it about them that in

spite of all evidence staring them in their faces, they can't admit

they've been mistaken about Obama? During the campaign, Obama told

people that they had to stay involved after the election, that they

couldn't just vote for him, go away for four years and expect that

he would do what they had hoped. He said that there were powerful

interests working against what the people wanted, and if We The

People wanted Obama to do our bidding, we would have to MAKE HIM DO

IT. Obama's most ardent supporters forget that those of us who

criticize Obama are only doing what he warned us needed to be done.

NOT to trust him. Since the election (and even before, with his

FISA vote), Obama has been deceptive, breaking every campaign

pledge and promise, conceding the positions of the left (getting

nothing in return), and hobbling real Democrats at every turn while

making Republicans and Blue Dogs stronger (and harder to beat in

2010 and 2012). Obama's most ardent supporters are the most

immediate problem, as they help him screw them (and us) over. Until

they wake up to these facts, they are the reason we don't get what

we all thought we were voting for when we voted Obama and Democrats

into office as the majority power in our government.
