I have to say for the record, I have been hoping...repeat... "HOPING" that Obama is the guy we all wanted so desparately to come to our rescue, but I have to say, I have sat and watched as he backs off of every promise. So far, the only thing he has done of consequence in the name of change has been shutting down Gitmo, and that could well have been a token getsure to placate.
Again: I supported Ron Paul, but crossed my fingers with Obama. I have to say, it has been getting hardeer and harder to keep the faith.
We need to collectively accept the possibility that Obama may not be what he appears to be, and get on with fixing things ourselves, instead of looking to some father figure to relieve us of our responsibility.
Thats All. Dont want to debate anyone over this, just saying my piece and attaching an email I just received from a friend...Ive been suspicious that something might be going on behind all the MJ coverage...
On Tuesday, July 7, 2009, Barack Obama sold
his soul to Monsanto while America's media were
busy covering one of history's major news events:
the funeral of the century.
Monsanto has succeeded in getting their ex-attorney
Michael Taylor into the highest echelon of the Obama
Administration. Barack Obama made this decision days
after his election victory, but needed a major story
such as Michael Jackson's shocking death to pull the
veil over America's eyes. He waited nearly eight
months to do the dirty deed, hoping that it would
not spark controversy. Hoping that nobody would
notice. Let today's Notmilk column strike the match.
I plan on manufacturing a new bumper sticker
which will read:
"Blame me. I voted for him."
I first suspected something was wrong when Barack Obama
claimed that he visited 57 of the 59 States during his
presidential campaign. See:
www.youtube.com/watch?v=EpGH02DtIws"]YouTube - Obama Claims He's Visited 57 States
But still, I voted for him.
I voted for him and it was too late to have second thoughts.
On his first day in office, President Barack Obama set
new ethic rules for his administration. Obama signed
an executive order prohibiting that "revolving door"
policy we've so often witnessed in the past. A policy
which allowed Monsanto (developer of the genetically
engineered bovine growth hormone) to send their
scientists and attorneys to high level jobs in
the FDA and USDA where regulations favorable to
Monsanto were enacted. That revolving door swung
both ways, and more than one ex-FDA commissioner
went to work for Monsanto after his tenure.
In issuing new Presidential Directives, Obama said,
"We should never forget that we are here as public
servants and public service is a privilege...Public
service is, simply and absolutely, about advancing
the interests of Americans."
Don't believe it.
Mr. Obama: Your honeymoon is over. I wanted
to believe that things would be different with you
at the helm. In fact, today you demonstrated that it's
just gonna be more of the same. The concept of CHANGE
you spoke about during your campaign is clearly how
many ways a lobbyist will be able to make change for
a dollar while working with your appointees.
Two attorneys from MONSANTO'S law firm (King & Spalding)
played interesting roles in American history. One was
Clarence Thomas, now on the Supreme Court (talk about
swing votes!) The second was Michael Taylor who left the
"firm" to work at FDA where he wrote the biotechnology
laws that do not require a warning label on a carton of
milk to identify the "new genetically engineered milk."
I have said for the past year that if Michael Taylor
becomes an important part of the Obama administration,
that is a warning signal to me that we've blown it.
Folks? We've blown it.
Although Michael Taylor was the man most responsible
for writing the policies which shaped Monsanto's lies
regarding genetically engineered milk, FDA Commissioner
Hamburg said this about Taylor's appointment:
" "His expertise and leadership on food safety issues
will help the agency to develop and implement the
prevention-based strategy we need to ensure the
safety of the food we eat."
Yesterday, while using the Michael Jackson story as
his hidden ball trick, the Obama administration quietly
announced that Michael Taylor is returning to the
Food and Drug Administration as the senior advisor to
FDA Commissioner Margaret Hamburg.
