Do you really feel like you're getting this promised 'change' from the Obama administration. Let's put the fancy talk aside and look at what's actually being done:
1) More troops to afghanistan, increased war rhetoric with pakistan (including drone attacks), iran, north korea. Spending more money on the military than Bush did!
2) Massive printing of dollars and giving to the elite. Taking over American Car companies and giving them to european car companies (chrysler to fiat), closing down plants with the billions and encouraging cost cutting by moving production to china. Encouraging hyperinflation in the worst kind of way.
3) No investigations whatsoever into the corruption from the bush era, continued coverups. No releasing of torture pictures.
4) Closing down of gitmo trials even though they were being run by law in a public court. Excuse - we have to think about what to do with them. ie. stalling and keeping them imprisoned indefinitely.
5) Biggest deficit of all time in a time when the world is talking about dumping the USD as the world standard currency, way to help seal the deal. Literally destroying the economy. Nationalized car companies, some banks, what's next?
6) Getting people to focus on the outer hope and change that all they have to do is let this guy solve their problems for them and they don't have to really change themselves.... while the power elite continues, business as usual.
In my view, the real change that's necessary will come from the grass routes, from the people. It may be fair to consider that the media created the celebrity of Obama, but the revolution will not be televised. Although his speeches are great, what do you think 'thinktanks' are for? Who writes those speeches, I would gander to say not Obama!
P.S. - no offense if you are an obama fan, just my opinion here
