all politics. all religion
Barack Obama has lost the Reddit crowd. Redditors are upset about wiretapping, war escalation, bailouts, and most of all, marijuana law reform.
EDIT: before you go any farther, hover over the "Main" button...
If you search reddit for "obama" in the last 30 days you will find the majority of the top articles are anti Obama. (posted here)
This is a dramatic shift on Reddit from the new page on election night when Obama support was virtually unanimous .
"That One" had a political machine with supposed "Internet Mastery".
Indeed, Obama used the Internet to his advantage, but he was never one of us. To him, the Internet was a means to an end. He even abandoned his twitter account right after the election. Hehe.
Look, I pushed hard for Barack Obama in the Iowa Caucuses, the rest of the primary, and the general election. Not because I really believed in him, but because I thought he was perhaps the least compromised and least thoroughly corrupted as the other candidates. In the end, I voted for him.
That was on a Tuesday, and on Wednesday I was criticizing the new President-Elect.
I wanted to immediately start dropping his poll numbers so that he would be fighting an uphill battle for re-election. Why? Because I despise incumbents and the corruption that comes with it. I want him to have to answer for himself, not glide to an easy second term like most of the douche-bags who hold office.
So far Barack Obama has knifed his anti-war base, his fiscal policy sympathizers, his tech supporters, his privacy voters, his twitter followers, his marijuana reform advocates...he even sides with the RIAA!!!!
The only "Change" we can see so far is that the new douchebag at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue is a black douchbag.
Barack Obama is conducting himself just like any other corrupt politician, and the sooner we erode his base the better. Bear in mind that he has majorities in both houses, so he can get carried away real quick, as we have seen in previous administrations.
Remember when George W Bush was itching to attack Iran? Perhaps the only thing that stopped him was the lack of public support. Right now Barack Obama has public support among the drooling classes, and has already escalated the war in Afghanistan, is conducting a secret war in Pakistan, and his "Useful Idiot" base gives him a pass.
Who is left to oppose attacking Iran? The Neo-Cons have long bought into the idea of attacking Iran...
You may have noticed I have a certain contempt for public officials, and the higher they go, the more contempt I have for them.
I take "We the People" seriously... I don't look up to the president as a fucking king. I look down on the president as Our First Public Servant. Our Bitch.
And when "The Bitch" is out of line, "The Bitch" needs to be put in his place.

I on the other hand did not vote for Obama, it was clear to me long before the election,that both houses controlled by the Democratic party, along with a Democratic Party President was a receipe for disaster.
In order to get elected to higher office you must first give up your own homegrown values and trade favors from one elected official to another in order to secure something for yourself .
That is how it works in Congress as well as just about any other public office. You vote for something that you do not agree with so it benefits that elected official, and later down the road he/she votes in favor of a bill that suits your needs and desires.
Compromise....the only thing that does is hurt the American people. Elected officials in a perfect world would do what is best for everyone, not just the few, or the rich, or the ones that lobby the most , or will in return grant favors for votes.
It is time Americans took back the country, instead we sit in a pile of shit created by our elected officials and do nothing but complain and vote in the next guy, hoping and praying that he can redeem us from our evil ways.
Instead we just go deeper and deeper into debt with the world, while our homes, jobs and very existance is squandered away in COMPROMISES with other countries. Time for change

Yes... I've seen that video twice now. Very creepy. I would have pass it on to more people but the title would probably keep them from watching it even though it's about so many other people besides O. One has to tread lightly in the o loving pool. I had a friend/possible collaborator end their relationship with me because of something I posted on digg that was anti O. Even though it was accurate information. A lot of people are still in the kum bi ya feeling of ecstasy and they would rather stay in ignorant bliss.
