I could ask you the same question. Do you think Obama knows what's better for me? I don't. So we have different opinions. God bless America.
No; Mr. Obama may have a better sense of what is better for us, short term, but no good vision of what is good the country or any of us as individuals... Democracy is not just a form of government, but is each person having charge of their own affairs unless and until those affairs begin to affect the welfare of others... And no one should have a voice in any affair that does not affect them personally... Most things could be settled by the people involved, if the government would let them; but the parties often aggrevate situations until the fester into national issues; and the last thing they want is for everyone to have a vote and a voice in their own affairs... Teddy Kennedy once said in a convention speech that the Democratic party is voice of the people... Only because all of the parties have stolen our vote and our voice at every opportunity... If on either side of any issue working people must form pacs to lobby an issue against the will of big money, it is certain that votes alone do not matter... The poor will never have enough votes or money combined to go against the wishes of those who have lots of money, not enough to pay taxes, but enough to influence government... Anyone can earn money or make profit; but one must own the government to keep all at minimum cost... And that is exactly the group that owns Mr. Obama... The banks are full of cash... The fed is full of cash... This money given free to big finance that is helping to push us under the waves of deficit is not finding its way to the people, and will not help in recovery, but sitting where it is will certainly help the banks to weather the next certain depression...
Mr. Obama is just like all the rest who believe that what is good for GM is good for America... Nothing could be further from the truth... The rich have sucked more out of this country than this country can bear, and they have been able to do so because we do not have democracy which could be our strength and defense... More of the same, which is what Mr. Obama is about is not what you need, or want... If I hate him and you love him what difference would that make??? The ideology of capital won over our government from the start, and the government does not have a single brain to figure that fact out, that in giving to money the government of its dreams, and tied to capital with a noose, it has no defense now but in the defense of its rotten economy of exploitation... It is not the people who will defeat Mr. Obama... Money, and our money freely given to the banks will be turned against Mr. Obama, not for what he does, but for what he says, and that is :Change.. The banks do not want change, and if they could banish the word they would do so...
