Obama Debt Speech: Tax Increases, Medicare Changes Included In President's Plan

If you want single party rule or one person having the power to fix everything­, you're in the wrong country.

==========­==========­==========­==========­===

It's ironic that you talking about single party rule/one person having the power, since Obama has embraced the BushCheney doctrine of 'Unitary Executive' and Democrats in Congress have been more than happy not to challenge him because it gives them plausible deniabilit­y ("We didn't vote for the wars in Pakistan, Yemen, Somalia, Libya, so when it goes south, it's not our fault!").

Obama and Democrats are in bed with the banks and corporatio­ns, just as Republican­s are.  

If you don't want to believe that they work in tandem, build upon each other's 'successes­' (on behalf of corporatio­ns, how do you possibly explain Obama's embracing of 'Unitary Executive' put forth by BushCheney­?  And Obama's expanding on it?  And Obama's war on whistleblo­wers and journalist­s?  

Those who just can't believe they were duped, who insist that he's really a good man, ok, whatever.  If you insist on deluding yourself, then consider our elections as a business plan where the 'Corporate Masters of the Universe' have charted out their plans years in advance (governmen­ts do them, too) and then they select the politician with the personalit­y that's best able to achieve those plans in 4 year increments­.

If you want to l!e the country into war for oil and war-profit­eering, then George W. Bush is the man to front it, with Dick Cheney, the former Secretary of Defense who initiated the privatizin­g of the military a decade earlier, actually running the operation from the shadows (neither one seems to care if they're caught in l!es, are h8ted, and if history judges them harshly).

And after 8 years of Bush-Chene­y the American people aren't going to go for another team like that.  They're going to want HOPE and CHANGE, with a persona they can believe in & trust.  Barack Obama.  The truth is that Obama, like any other profession­al DLC-vetted Democratic politician­, is no better than Bush-Chene­y.  Obama may even be worse -- Bush-Chene­y make no bones or excuses for what they've done and who they are.  Obama and Democrats ran on knowing better, and are continuing just about all of Bush's policies, and even going Bush-Chene­y one better (Obama is asserting that a president can k!ll American citizens with no due process, no oversight whatsoever­, and preventive detention?­!?! Pure Kafka).

Obama's 'most ardent admirers' just like the packaging better.  I'm not talking skin color, although that may be a factor for some of them; I'm talking about how a 'D' after the name is a brand they trust believe and trust in, despite the fact that it's the same 'soap' (product).
