“Where necessary, through a range of capabilities, we will continue to take direct action against those terrorists who pose the gravest threat to Americans.” —...
"Obama has always been supremely adept at using left-sounding rhetoric to provide a progressive sheen to reactionary, anti-working class policies, programs and practices."
I agree, but I'm hoping he'll be better at keeping his word to the middle class now that he's a second-term president.
Obama as always gave out 'sweet nothings' of which it was zero for the middle class. Taxes are up, prices are up, paychecks are down, unemployment is not showing signs of abating, debt is mounting not only on the middle class but generations to come. Next four years are going to be worse with O's garbage policies.
When I heard the line you quoted at the beginning of your report, my first thought was, "And the beat drones on . . . " Your report tells the true story, and why the talking heads aren't talking is a mystery to me. Our POTUS gets a pass with so much; recently, like Dr. Ben Carson said at the National Prayer breakfast, it's as though people are afraid to speak what's on their mind, and in a democracy, that's just not right--especially when it comes to killing Americans overseas and the true state of our union.
"It's a war wherein the owners of capital grow and remain rich almost beyond measure, while the true "makers" of goods and services, the creators of capital -- us--struggle daily simply to "make it," to subsist, to survive." You say and The Prime Minister of the UK is doing exactly the same thing... Brilliant analysis
An excellent article. Obama is carrying out Bush policies on steroids as far as drones is concerned. When Dick Cheney comes out in support of these policies, you would think liberals that support Obama would wake up: http://www.politico.com/story/2013/02/dick-cheney-praises-obama-on-drone-use-87511.html
