Gutless Dems Get Super Majority

Not like it’s going to matter.  Now that the Dems have full, tight control over the Senate, one would expect them to actually do something.  But the fact is they won’t.  They will find some excuse to explain why they can’t do anything to make the Establishment angry with them.

American voters wanted CHANGE last November.  But so what?  Mr. Obama has proven himself to be nothing more than a right-leaning weasel and liar who had no problem promising the American people something different for two years, and delivering nothing but the same old tired shit that has gotten us into the hole we are in.

He has changed nothing.  And if you think 60 seats will do anything you are wrong.  If anything, it will accelerate the downfall of the Democratic gutless party.  Now they can’t blame the teetering-on-the-brink-of-extinction Republicans.  They have nobody to blame but themselves.

They have a solid majority in the house–which is all they need.  They have 60 votes in the Senate, they have the White House.  But don’t expect anything that will actually help the average American.

Expect more government handouts for corporations.  Expect more bending over to the pharma companies and medical insurance companies.  Expect more bailouts while average Americans barely make ends meet.

This latest so-called global warming bill was a perfect example.  Nothing but a hand out to polluters and billions to support nuclear power–which would fail in any open market.  But you’d never know that by watching the circle jerk the Democratic idiots in the House did after passing their worthless piece of garbage that only gives out more tax dollars to big companies that don’t need it.

The average American struggles to pay the mortgage and health insurance.  We struggle to pay our student loans and to support our children.  We struggle to eek out an existence.  Meantime, the government hands our money over to the richest people who have EVER walked the earth.

When Republicans hand over billions to corporations, it’s called a bailout.  When Democrats do it, it’s called a stimulus.

Either way, the average American is expected to take it in the ass with a grin and a wink, while our bank accounts are drained to support the very assholes who ruined our economy in the first place.  Go figure.

Stimulus Support Melts Away

This is what happens when you take a stimulus plan and let the Republicans tell you what to do.  We ended up with a weak stimulus that focused more on tax cuts that are worthless than actual economic stimulus.  Now the people are reacting poorly.  It’s been nearly 4 months, and the economy in Los Angeles is still very fucked.  There are so many people out of work, and there is no sign of improvement.  I don’t doubt conditions are the same in the rest of the country.

Obama is not a change agent, he compromises for Republicans and the rest of us take it in the ass.

Obama Says Gays Are No Better Than Pedofiles And Incest

Well, after Obama lied himself into the White House and back-stabbed the people who voted for him, the Democratic base–just 5 months in–is beginning to fracture.

Obama did one of his normal bits–flaps his mouth, spewing some charismatic horse shit–then turns around and twists the knife in the wound.

That’s exactly what he did to the gays last week.  He gave some token meaningless crap benefits to their long-term partners–which did not even include medical benefits–and patted himself on the back.

Then he turned around and filed a legal brief in support of the Defense of Marriage Act, which is an insult to gay people everywhere.  If you remember, it’s a federal law that says marriage is between a man and a woman.  Gays, gays, go away.

He could have not filed a brief in favor of a continued blocking of the rights of gays.  He could have expressed his disappointment with the law.  Instead, he sent in his lawyers to openly support a bigoted law that shows just how strong the culture of discrimination continues to be in this country.

To throw salt on the wound, after calling gays pedofiles and child-fuckers, he sends the Democratic Party out to try and collect donations from gay group!  Can you believe this asshole?

The gays are pissed about Obama stabbing them in the back.  And some of them are organizing a boycott of this fundraiser.  They are fighting back:

Last week, President Obama’s Justice Department filed a legal brief against same sex marriage in which it compared gay unions to incestuous ones and that of an underage girl – in the sense that states have the right to not recognize marriages that are legal in other states or countries.

The timing of the brief, which the president of the leading gay and lesbian rights organization said caused his community “pain,” is awkward, given that next Thursday, June 25, the Democratic National Committee is hitting up the lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) community for cash in a fundraiser featuring Vice President Biden.

Hey gays, give us some more money so that next time we will compare you to goat fuckers! What a joke.

Change you can discriminate with.

President Obama Embraces Yet Another Bush Policy

It took Obama less than 6-months to go full-blown idiot doppelganger on us.  That was fast.  Now good government groups are saying they aren’t even surprised anymore when Obama decides to follow Bush’s leadership of failure and idiocy.

Turns out Obama has a lot of “visitors” to the White House that he does not want the good citizens of this country to know about.  So much for transparency and open government.  That was so 2008 election season.

In recent days, the Secret Service has rejected requests from two organizations for the logs, which document the West Wing meetings that have helped shape Obama’s policies on banking regulation, economic recovery, foreign policy and the auto industry.

Could it be that Obama does not want us to know the names of all the lobbyists and corporate hacks that he has been having to the Oval Office for some good old-fashioned Monica Lewinski sessions?  Could it be that Obama, just like the idiot before him, is relying on the corporations that have butt-fucked our economy into the ground for the answers?  I don’t believe it!  I still have hope!  I still believe in change and the ONE!

“The Obama administration has now taken exactly the same position as the Bush administration, telling us the visitor logs are presidential records,” said Anne Weismann, the legal counsel for CREW.

CHANGE YOU CAN BELIEVE IN!!

The money quote:

“The discrepancy between the rhetoric and the policy is especially great.”

I bet Obama doesn’t make the same mistake as Clinton though, he will have the dress cleaned before Ken Starr gets to it!  He promised this nation a whole lot of lofty things, most importantly, a government that works for the people and not the corporations that have destroyed our economy.

He lied.

Minimum Wage Laundry Worker Stops Massive Nuclear Meltdown

Hot off the heals of the loser Republicans having the wonderfully backwards looking plan to have the US rely almost entirely on nuclear power, we learn that a massive nuclear meltdown in the UK was narrowly averted.  By a laundryworker.

The losers always like to talk about how “safe” nuclear is.  But like everything that comes out of the mouth of politician, this is just another pile of shit.  There is billions of dollars in tax dollars to be stolen, and the corporate scumbags are slobbering all over place at the thought of billions for building nuclear power plants that are so goddamn expensive private industry won’t pay for them unless the government makes loan guarantees backed by our tax dollars.

Real capitalism, huh?

What a joke.

At Least The Rich Will Survive!

Nice to know that the bank bailouts went through, and the rich elitist executives kept their jobs and fortunes.

Meantime:

Some Michigan counties have turned a few once-paved rural roads back to gravel to save money.

More than 20 of the state’s 83 counties have reverted deteriorating paved roads to gravel in the last few years, according to the County Road Association of Michigan. The counties are struggling with their budgets because tax revenues have declined in the lingering recession.

A bailout with no accountability.  I’m so glad my tax money is working hard for me.

Change You Can Purchase

Just like Bush, Obama is thanking his big donors with ambassador appointments.  So the rich get to buy their posts in this new administration.  That’s some “change” we can all believe in isn’t it.  Remind me again how this is different than the type of stuff President Idiot used to do?  Now it looks like President Liar is, again, well, lying . . .

President Obama has been taking flak of late for giving fat-cat donors cushy ambassadorial posts. Despite some early signals that merit — knowledge of the local language, culture or region, or perhaps foreign policy experience — might play a role in determining who gets those jobs, big donors and bundlers seem to have grabbed the lion’s share of the most coveted spots.

Don’t Ask Don’t Change

Another disappointment from the Obama Administration.  Not only did they leave teh gay holding their johnsons in the wind, but he asked the Supreme Court to leave the policy in place.  The ONE said he would change the policy once he got into office.

Oops, did he lie again?

The Obama Administration, meanwhile, has made no specific move toward ending it and has declined to step in to stop the dismissal of gay service members, such as West Point graduate and Iraq War veteran Lt. Dan Choi. He is being processed for discharge from the Army after publicly disclosing that he is gay.

Tiananmen Square Ain’t Got Shit On Us

We see that fool of a jokester, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton publicly calling for China to “come to terms” with the Tiananmen Square massacre, as if this nation, and Hillary Clinton specifically, is in any position to speak with moral authority on the issue of murdering innocent civilians.

The media pats the USA government on the back as it talks down to China, but has nothing to say when it’s own government kills hundreds of thousands of innocent Iraqis and thousands of innocent Afghans in two wars that have achieved no moral victories.

“A China that has made enormous progress economically, and that is emerging to take its rightful place in global leadership, should examine openly the darker events of its past and provide a public accounting of those killed, detained or missing, both to learn and to heal,” she said.

I’m wondering when HRC is going to examine her dark history of voting for a shameful war in Iraq that has led to the murder and wholesale massacre of thousands of women in children in Iraq.  I wonder if her husband will come to terms with the hundreds of thousands of Iraqi children he killed by not lifting the sanctions on Iraq.

This country has starved, maimed, murdered, turtured, lied, and massacred when it has suited it.  I don’t recall our government making a “public accounting” for the murders it perpetrated in Iraq.

Fuck, our Department of Defense claims that it does not even keep records of the thousands of innocent Iraqis it has blown to pieces.  We don’t even give the dead the courtesy of the number.

As for China though, well, they need to have a public accounting.  They need to come to terms with the murders their government has perpetrated.  And as far as the corporate media is concerned that is just a fine narrative.

What a joke of a story today, from someone like HRC, who has absolutely no business talking down to murders.  As our government continues its wars for geo-political gains, and continues to kill for the benefit of the corporations, at least the media will hold China accountable for Tiananmen Square.

Right?

Cheney 4 The Gay

Republican politicians are so full of shit.  And here’s how we know: when Rush Limbaugh is addicted to drugs, he suddenly is for light penalties for drug users, after all, it’s a “sickness.”  When Nancy Reagan’s husband slowly turned into a vegetable, she suddenly came out for stem cell research.  And now, we have Dick Cheney being all for gay marriage.

These guys are full of shit: their “values” are to be imposed on everyone except themselves, they just like telling people what to do.

Former Vice President Dick Cheney said Monday he supports gays being able to marry but believes states, not the federal government, should make the decision.

“I think, you know, freedom means freedom for everyone,” Cheney said in a speech at the National Press Club. “I think people ought to be free to enter into any kind of union they wish, any kind of arrangement they wish.”

Except for innocent Iraqis and Afghans killed by his lies and bombs.
