Obama Year 1
We are approaching the first year in the historic presidency of Barack Obama and what have we learned? Well, he’s a great teleprompter reader. Really, that’s it. I cant really think of anything relevant that he has done in his first year. So you say that he is trying to change health care. This is America, we don’t do anything right!! You could give the government a blueprint how to make health care efficient and our government would still find a way to fuck over the little man while making themselves look better.
Think back at the presidential debate, and John McCain said that this was going to be a long strenuous war. He said that a pullout of the soldiers was going to be a difficult task to imagine in his first term. And then the grand maestro came in and swooned us. He was going to make it the first issue in office to get the soldiers out of war. He talked about how it was wrong that there were soldiers on their 4th and 5th tour straight. How it was the regular people who were suffering, not the high paid wall street people. No, Obama was the main street titan and wall street was going to pay for everything that they have done. He promised accountablility for the horrible crimes being committed in the over seas prisons.He was going to be the right for all 8 years of George Bush’s wrong. He was the outsider who broke into the ranks. Or so we thought…
What Obama did was the biggest about face in modern history, or maybe in all of history. He sided with wall street in every major way. He still hasn’t done anything to take care of the dwindling middle class. He has though taken care of the upper 10% of the population. The ones who Forbes magazine want us to feel bad for people like Oprah who lost a quarter of her net wealth. People if a billionaire who loses a quarter of their wealth, they still TONS of money to play with. If Joe Smith loses a quarter of his wealth, he has a major problem on his hand. Obama has lined himself up not with people who care about main street, but with former Goldman Sachs employees who are whiz’s are destroying the architect that made this country the strongest super power ever.
Obama in his first year as president, won a pulitzer prize for keeping a war going on that he promised to end. Not only did he promise to end the war, he criticized John McCain for wanting to keep the war going. See what people dont understand is that Obama is a slick lawyer, and thats one of the key elements that is taught to you in politics. Say what the people want to hear. Here’s a well speaking, young president, that came out of no where and took up the political game in his hands. We should have seen that he was going to take an about face in the war issue. He pulled out 15,000 soldiers but let the war mongering companies put in that same amount of mercs into the field. He said during his speeches that it was going to take a lot more than one term to end the war. More than one term is the key words. He is telling us that he is going to be re-elected as president and there is no pullout of the soldiers going to happen. Of course that he is going to say that he is gong to pull them out 2011, its exactly what you want to hear. Buy as always, some issue that no one expected to happen, like a resurgence of the Taliban (Who works for the CIA, many many times over), or he would escalate the war with Iran to the point that he is going to surround the country with all of our soldiers which would make alot of sense. We went to Iraq to liberate the people (LOL I loved that lie. It was classic), then we hopped over Iran and fought in Afganistan and now some how the fight is moving over to Pakistan. Turkey is an ally of ours, so we have the country on lock down. The only other country close to a border is Saudi Arabia which is a boat ride away but they are provoked the war with Iran more than any other country.
Barry Soltero, sorry I meant Barack Obama how did i mix the names up?Guess the lies just got me mixed up, is not the man who we Hoped he was. And for the record, no one is supposed to sell hope, but Obama did just that, and he also promised change, which is going to happen with a smile on your face. Only because the chosen one told us it was going to…

The Economic Calamity
The global depression is about to knock on our doors. We are about to head into survival of the fittest like depression and there is no person on planet earth that is immune to this… except the big wigs. See if you haven’t noticed it yet, governments all around the world, especially in the US are not doing anything to protect the people, they are only interested in protecting themselves and their buddies in the big companies.
Fed chairman Ben Bernanke is credited by many for helping stop the economic bleeding, but look closely and it seems that the signs were written on the wall for the country to go into debt. Ben Bernanke once famously said “The US government has a technology, called a printing press — or today, it’s electronic equivalent — that allows it to produce as many dollars as it wishes at essentially no cost”. Now those words have been put into action, this is called ‘quantitative easing’ and the only easing that it does is the manipulation of the stock market. See if you listen to the TV economist, they tell you that things are getting better, the market is over 10,000 and it seems that sky is the limit. Now lets divulge deeper into this. The market tanked deeply due to one of the most famous TV economists Jim Cramer telling people to take their money out of the market as fast as they can. He set of a massive scare tactic even though the night before he was the one who was telling people to “buy buy buy” as he famously says.
Next we have the US government who keeps telling the public that things are looking better, but the situation keeps on getting worst. Ever hear that saying, if you tell a lie enough times that it will soon become a truth. Well that is our unemployment numbers. They say its at 10.2%, well let me correct myself its at 10% as of yesterday, but look deeper into these numbers and notice that these numbers are only the people who collect unemployment checks. They don’t count people who stopped collecting, part time workers, people who quit looking for a job and they don’t tally the death/birth ratio. The government also doesn’t have an algorithm to calculate how many small business jobs were created. They just make up the numbers, sort of like the bailout.
The education system. Yes hard to believe but even the education system has played a bigger role in the destruction of our economy than you believe. See there was a time when education was affordable. People would graduate from high school, and get a quality education with the aspiration of attaining a career. But soon, economics started playing a role in getting an education. So the price of tuitions starts to increase while the level of education is getting worst for the cheaper schools. Now as we all know, public education is nothing in America. Its actually worst than 3rd world country education. And then when people were able to catch up to the tuition prices, the economists went ahead and started to make new books every year and they forced people to pay $300 per book. So the level of playing field wasn’t as fair as it should be. I understand that education should come at a price but there comes a point when people shouldn’t be investing 30k or 40k just for a year of tuition. Then America makes it a point for kids to go to school and take out dozens of loans just for they could be able to get an education without caring if the kid could afford to even get something to eat. And those prices dont even include the dorm fees which up the ante up to 10k per year.
Television. Now televisions role in this is the influence that it has on us wanting to love money. Money has become its own religion. Its more powerful than love, and more worshiped than which ever God you believe in. How many relationships are broken because of money disputes? TV shows make it a good thing for people to win money, the lottery has found a way to sucker people into buying tickets with all the commercials that we see on tv. “Only a dollar and a dream” is the phrase used here in NY and it might be one of the most used phrases i have ever heard. I hear that more than Amen which is a sad thing. Its all about the benjamins P.Diddy said and how sad that instead of asking for health and family, people would rather ask for money just to make things good in they life.
The final culprit in the economy tanking is credit. Well more like the people and the countries who get it. Do people understand what the word means? I mean it drives me crazy that people just didn’t read the fine print to the credit card statements. Since birth people are told to carefully read what they sign, and that always included the fine print. When I was 16, I will never know how but I obtained my first credit card with $4,000 limit. You give that to a kid, and believe me he’s not going to know what to do with all that money. I went crazy, you better believe that I was the best dressed person in school for all of my high school life. All was good until I was 19, then the reaper came calling. I didn’t make too many payments largely because I never really thought of making payments, I just thought that the money was always going to be there. But it taught me a valuable lesson, NOTHING IS WHAT IT SEEMS. I wasnt surprised that Dubai went into default with their debt. They bought MGM less than 5 years ago, and immediately were trying to dump it off early this year. They were trying to sell it for drastically less than the amount than they paid for it. I wish that people would just read between the lines. I understand that some people need credit, but the chickens will come to roast. Its easier for people to just call the creditor and tell them that they are broke instead of paying one credit card with another. Think about it, you wouldn’t borrow money from a shylock just to pay another shylock. It doesn’t make sense and thats exactly what its like when you take money from a credit card. Except the credit cards took the shy locks out of business.
