Obama to US citizens: "You CAN handle the truth!" |
|
It certainly seems that this administration has faith that we can--thank goodness for that.

1. The only way to stop the criminals... |
|
...is to bring their crimes out in the sunlight.
Obama can't do it all himself.
He's got to prepare the American people for the truth, and it's not pretty.

8. And a big problem is... |
|
...that these neocon scumbags--even though they don't retain the White House or Congress--still have their claws in positions of power, all over government.
The CIA, NSA, FBI, Justice Department. Can you imagine the scum that infests the dark corners of those agencies?
They're all over the corporate world--which works in tandem with the criminals in our government.
They're like a plague.
The only disinfectant is sunlight...loads and loads of sunlight.
It has to be done in the next four years. Otherwise, they'll continue to wreck havoc--and position Obama as an ineffectual leader who just couldn't do the job. Then, they'll steal the next election, and it will really be game over for America.

9. They will be Back unless something is done |
|
Nixon, Iran Contra, now this.... hmmm.. you know that's why I think he is coming out saying this crap. They all had a bit of sunlight on them, and now that we all know who they are, you bet they are trying to destroy the Neo-con label. Next we'll see Wolfowitz claim he never existed at all.

4. He said one of his very first actions was to be starting troop withdrawals from Iraq |
|
A month in and ??????? Been hearing rumors that he is now considering extending his original plan to 23 months from 16. There is fifteen months left and no action yet and in fact Generals in Iraq are saying the USA will not honor the agreement it signed with Iraq a few days before Bush* left office.

6. Where is RE-REGULATION of capitalism . . . ???? |
|
Where renewal of Glass-Steagall Act???
Federal Reserve also has to be put under Treasury ---
We need Congress to set the political economic agenda for the nation --- NOT the Fed.
