Obama Flip Flops Again
by Carrie Cann
Link to ArticleHe talks the talk, but does not walk the walk. That is Obama, our president.Gives out taxpayer money to big banks with no oversight, and takes advice from the banking industry that messed things up. Gives out taxpayer money to Wall Street with no oversight, and heads up his "oversight" committee with the very people that worked with Wall Street to create the financial boondoggle. He says he will repeal the Don't Ask, Don't Tell law, and yet, he continually refrains from doing so, making excuses one after the other. What, writing a letter to someone that's been fired for admitting being gay is supposed to assuage the problem? I think not.I could go on, and on, and on, about the campaign promises that Obama just seems unable to actually come through on. And now we have the photo issue. The ACLU lawsuit is at a point that the government was ordered to release certain photographs concerning the torturing of prisoners of war by our American troops. The Second Circuit Court ruled in December of 2008 that the photos had to be released. In April 2009, the Department of Justice agreed to release these photographs -- which, by the way, caused the vapors for all those on the right spectrum of politics in government and on television (I can't say that Americans, as a whole, had a problem with the release of the pictures). Obama supported the release of the photos. But now, today, Obama reverses himself and is reneging on his agreement to release the photos. And they called Kerry the flip flopper! Bush Lite, Our New American President. Same old story, same old game, same people doing the same fuck you to Americans -- except, sadly, it's got a Democratic stamp on it. Kind of makes me sick to my stomach. These icons link to social bookmarking sites where readers can share and discover new web pages.
