I seem to be suffering from a political hangover today – too much anger about the foolishness of the tea baggers and the Presidents leaning towards war criminals over the ideals that this country should have recovered in the last election.  One eye throbs with the anger of disillusion and the other has not changed since the crimes of the previous administration came to light.

It wasn’t that long ago that the world was amazed with this young upstart from Chicago and his ability to bring out the votes.  People looked at this man and saw HOPE!  They saw a chance for CHANGE!  They decided their vote did matter.  They decided things could change and the US could be the world leader we once were.  First time voters and returning voters turned up at rallies and opened election offices in their homes to spread the word.

Now, those same Obamamaniacs are wondering where they went wrong…  How did this happen?  How did we not see through that shiny confident veneer to the overly trusting, apologetic man who just wants everyone to like him?    

Well, we’ve learned our lesson – our voice doesn’t matter unless it is expressing the opinion of the rich and privileged. 

It is sad to see this President, who held the hopes and dreams of MILLIONS, just slap his hands together, twist a bit and rub the remnants on the pants of the voters who WORKED so hard to get him elected .  He continues to take the advice from the people who ran this country into the ground while ignoring the voices of change that the rest of the world praises.  While I am glad he has started to shift the Tax rates a bit, he still doesn’t grasp the WE THE PEOPLE mentality, or if he does then he believes Corporations are people.  Either way, he seems to believe that work means less than money – as you can tell from the rate of the capitol gains vs income tax. 

The worst sin of all is that he is on his way to becoming a War Criminal.  By allowing the “only following orders” defense that has not been accepted for generations he is now complicit in this torture.  He is not defending the torture, he is dismissing it.  It is strange that we are deporting a Nazi camp guard while allowing our torturers to simply move on.  Not even move on but to continue in the same job…

I seem to be babbling due to a lack of focused anger so I shall let this pot of political stew cool down and try to refocus my anger so I can do something about this. 

Now that I think about it, this could be their ploy – Get us SO ANGRY at SO MANY THINGS that we can’t focus and do something… 

It’s gonna be a long long weekend of political pain…
