Bush Admits Katrina Air Force One Photo Was 'Huge Mistake'

Why is George W. Bush being allowed to crawl back into polite society?



Why isn't he having to spend 24/7 with his lawyers, working on a way to stay out of prison?



Oh, that's right, I forgot: Because Obama and the DLC-Democrats have blocked all investigations and prosecutions into Bush-Cheney and Republicans, and have allowed them to resurrect themselves and take back control over government.



And because of Obama's failure to restore the Constitution and return us to the rule of law, by holding Bush, Cheney, et al, accountable, JEB Bush was all over the news on election night as the man behind Florida's new Tea Party Senator, Marco Rubio. So expect a Jeb Bush run at the presidency in the not-to-di tant-future. Perhaps with Liz Cheney on the ticket with him.



This is Obama's fault -- The buck stops squarely at his feet.

Bloomberg: Congress 'Can't Read' And Some Members Don't Know What, Or Where China Is

Whoa there, chum.



"Don't vote" is NOT my stance. I have NEVER encouraged people to sit out elections. Because if you're not at the table, you're on the menu. It's what p!sses me off about Obama, and one of many reason I know him to be a con man betraying them that brung 'im.



By shutting out liberals, the base, from his administration, by taking single payer, a public option, off the table, eliminating regulatory oversight from finance reform legislations, he's given pro-corporate, Republican-like policies an inside line. The People's advocates can't even get in the door of this government.



I tell people:



"You're not limited to voting for just Democrats and Republicans. There are other alternatives besides sitting out the election or voting for Republicans. There are other candidates running as independents, from Green to Libertarian, in just about every race."



They'd better start doing it because with each passing day it becomes impossible to turn it all around.

Bloomberg: Congress 'Can't Read' And Some Members Don't Know What, Or Where China Is

And Bloomberg is no different.



Just about everyone who is in our political system got there by buying into the Corporatocracy. If they didn't (buy into it), they never could have gotten into office. And with the Citizens' United decision this year, they only become more entrenched.



Unless and until there is drastic and uncompromising change to our campaign financing system, until corporations are no longer 'persons' and are prohibited from participating in elections and politics, all efforts to reform government are useless.



Once campaigns are publicly financed, if they ever are, then reforming our system & returning the government to the People can begin. And that's when the work will really start. And there won't be any of these petty arguments, "If there really is any change", or "It's in the wrong direction."



When it's working, when we're back on course, EVERYONE will know it.

Bloomberg: Congress 'Can't Read' And Some Members Don't Know What, Or Where China Is

If you must continue to delude yourself into thinking Obama's a good guy who never would have started those wars, & who has only the best of intentions (I don't share that opinion anymore), but got a bad deal, then think of all this as a business plan where the Corporate Masters of the Universe have charted out their plans years in advance (governments do them, too) & select the politician­/personali­ty best able to achieve those plans in 4 year increments. If you want to l!e the country into war for oil & war-profiteering, then George W. Bush is your 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).



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 & CHANGE, with a persona they can believe in & trust. BarackObama.



The truth is that Obama is no better than Bush-Cheney. Not better, not worse, but the same. His '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).

Bloomberg: Congress 'Can't Read' And Some Members Don't Know What, Or Where China Is

Over the course of US history, corporations have managed to game our political system, & done it so effectively that the two-party system competes to serve corporate interests while defending that service as, "What's good for GM (corporations) is good for America (We the People)".



Democrats (controlled by the DLC, and that's important to remember) & Republicans are corporate t00Is. Like siblings competing for the attention & approval (campaign contributions) of a parent, Republicans & DLC-controlled Democrats try to outdo each other in delivering for their real constituent, BigCorporations. The trick for them has been to make it seem as if they were really working on behalf of WeThePeople.



Democratic voters have mistakenly believed that Obama & Democrats were for strong regulations on banks, WallStreet, investigations, prosecutions, restitution of what has been robbed from the middle class and poor for the past 30+ years, environmental clean-up, clean, sustainable renewable energy (& that isn't nuclear), putting an end to the wars and occupation of Iraq & Afghanistan, affordable, quality universal healthcare (which ObamaCare is not), and more. The DLC-controlled DemocraticParty gives lip service to these & all populist issues, because like the RepublicanParty, the DLC works for the benefit of transnational corporations.
