I am bitterly disappointed in President Obama. Virtually everything he touches turns to ash. The Libyan adventure was the final straw. I can't support him for re-election, and wish the Democrats could be persuaded to back someone else. He seems as inept as his predecessor.
But more than that, I've lost faith in the whole establishment. The tea party fools and their corporate backers are going to dismantle the country and sell it off piece by piece to the highest bidder. Where are the voices of sanity? Not on the radio, that's for sure.
The TARP bailout was a massive fraud which then-Senator Obama supported and in which current Treasury Secretary Geithner was a principal player. It shows that the whole system is corrupt, perhaps irredeemably so.
The empowered class no longer seems to have a stake in this country's future. Essential pillars of society such as public education are being sacrificed in the name of cost cutting. Standards of living are being deliberately eroded; infrastructure is allowed to crumble. Speculators walk away with billions while the unemployed starve. Obama happily extends the Bush tax cuts for the rich for another two years. The Republicans propose to give the rich yet more tax cuts with one hand while dismantling Social Security and Medicare with the other. The stench of rot is well nigh unbearable.
In New Hampshire, Governor Lynch says he will veto the Republican legislature's "right-to-work" bill, which they will probably ram down his throat anyway, since they have a veto-proof majority thanks to Obama's stellar performance as President.
Obama should resign. He is a spineless loser, or else a fraud.
I wish he had been born in Kenya.
