Sadly Barack Obama, like Mitt Romney, is an apologist for the 1%

True. That's the only two choices the 1% have given us.

Predictably not upvoted by Reddit. After 4 years, this truth should now be obvious to everyone, but not apparently to most Redditors, who have this "High School Crush" on him. The extent to which they're oblivious to facts is nauseating and scary. It reminds me of the Tea Party's blind love for Republican fat cats, the very people out to screw them. So it is with Obama and Redditors. (Maybe it's some kind of Stocklom Syndrome--worship your kidnappers)

Lucky for him. Those Israelis carry a virus that causes extreme paranoia.

By any measure, it wasn't enough (Krugman's had many columns on that). Though it probably creates just enough grow to get Obama elected. Watch what happens to the economy after the election.

How dare anyone criticise Obama on Reddit!

Alas, the previous movie run in this horror double feature was "Invasion Of The Body Snatchers", in which the Supreme Court and President were already replaced by alien look-alikes.

He's been blessed by Harvard. He probably smokes dope in the Oval Office. These laws are racist because poor people can't afford a good lawyer to get them out. Poor people usually meaning Blacks and Latinos.

Think about it: what better way to keep "dangerous elements" off the street than lock them up for 10 years on a bullshit drugs charge. We saw in the 60s what angry unemployed Black youth can do: they burned down the inner cities.

Chomsky makes this point: the drugs laws aren't about drugs: they're about population control. So we've got this Black President controlling the Black population by throwing them in jail. He's not really Black, he's Harvard!

And what the voters thing actually matters there. Compare that will the US, where politicians are do the exact opposite of what public opinion polls reflect.

Didn't work for me. Rollingstone.com is blocked in Thailand. I set it for Spanish, and got a blocking notice in Spanish.

Acts of "violence and destruction" are committed every day by the people who run this country--stealing their houses, income, health, locking them in jail for decades for pot, and killing millions abroad for the sake of oil. Even if Occupy had atomic weapons, I doubt they could compete with that.

Think about it, Bimbo. For the last 24 years, our Presidents have either come out of Harvard or Yale. And what's happened to the country in those 24 years? Unless you've been sleeping, it's been a fucking disaster. And BTW, here's a pic of Yale graduate Bill Clinton destroying the economy by repealing Glass-Steagall, surrounded by his Wall St criminal buddies, thereby "ruining the economy" in your words:

good old days when your ignorant ass sent thousands of Americans to die for Israel's paranoia

In case you haven't noticed, those Good Ole Days haven't left us. What do you call this Iran sabre rattling?

Read about it here, Dumb Ass:

Obama caves in to the Israeli Lobby

and Obama wanted the troops to stay in Iraq, but got kicked out by the Iraqi Congress, saying that if they stayed, they would be tried by Iraqi juries for any crimes. (of course thousands of US mercenaries, eg Blackwater types, remain)

Fucking "dblaisde" (speaking) doesn't miss George at all and would like to seem him undergoing "extreme interrogation, along with Barack, in some rat hole foreign country. Fucking "dblaisde" misses Lyndon Johnson, who graduated from a teacher's college, was vulgar, and did things like raise his shirt during a press conference to show everybody his appendix scar, but he actually cared about the poor and the old (Medicare and Medicaid). It was only because his Ivy League boss got bumped off (another poser) that we lucked out and got him. (and no, I didn't like his Vietnam War policy).

He needs to take a vacation to Newark, NJ to clear some trash or work in a homeless kitchen, and ask how his policies are going down with "the brothers".

Yup, they're all just a bunch of anarchists and liberals having a bad hair day. No reason in the world to protest otherwise. (In other words, grow a brain)
