obama surely is far better than Mccain, but his foreign policy is not a huge departure from Bush/Mccain. He voted for Patriot Act, Wiretapping, and may want to go into Pakistan and stay in Iraq. I think we liberals all need to keep a healthy dose of skepticism and criticism of Obama on foreign policy. I just hope that we won't be blind and support Obama wars just because he speaks eloquently.

I love how she calls palin a ho man that was hilarious and so true

[ocdrumboy1]

wow seems like everyone thought obama was gonna save things... haha, just shows ya everyone can fall for a lying politician... it hurt to be lied to by bush, yet you knew he was lying straight through his teeth and giggles... yet i beleive it hurts more to be lied to by a man like obama cus then it shows you another way to be lied to by in a way that may make EVERYONE truly lose faith in humanity.... cus now we cant tell whos lying to us or if everyone is lying all the time no matter what! SAD

does anyone remember when ani was an anti-war progressive?

@mmantech agreed. that would take nothing less than a miracle in my opinion, but i suppose its possible. i have tried talking about this very subject to numerous friends and colleagues and i am constantly met with the "conspiracy nut" lingo which quickly turns to a general contempt which they hold me under. like im trying to upset some nonexistent perfect balance. as long as the public stay in their little safe invisible prisons, we will never be anything close to truly independent.

[mmantech]

@aaronbrakefield i agree. the ruling class does have a strangle hold on our lives. they control the media, which means they control everything we see, hear, and read. they have infiltrated the education system to dumb us down. shipped all the blue collar jobs overseas. they control the government(including the courts). but if we the people wake up out of the sleepwalking and mimic the abolitionist, the sufferage, the labor, the civil rights movements, then maybe we can do it.

[aaronbrakefield]

@mmantech This is very true. but they have been working a really long time to gain the enormous power they now wield. the general population during those eras, although less information was available, still questioned their leaders decisions in dire times and didnt have near the level of political ignorance and apathy as the common individual these days. when more people vote for a bullshit tv show contestant than vote for the president, its time to pause and reflect. no one is doing either.

[mmantech]

@aaronbrakefield wow! now thats cynicism. you have fallin for nihilism. it is indeed a bleak moment, but there has been bleak moments before in this country; 1860

Ab Lincoln came calling, 1901 teddy, 1933 FDR and the new deal, things can change, but it depends on what we do. we have to atleast go down swingin.

[aaronbrakefield]

i love ani. wrong about obama. of course, everyone was. nothing WILL EVER CHANGE. the game is rigged. they will destroy everything before We gain the upper hand ever again. game over. give up. have a great day.

[AllsionMoonshine]

yeah right! We all thought that

[darksideofthenation]

i am not impressed by her opinon on Obama. Sounds like she drink the kool aid.

Change yet? Not yet! Why?? Type in "The Obama Deception" (full length) on youtube. It's an excellent film with: Hip Hop Artist KRS-One, Dennis Kucinich, Foremost Trends Forecaster, Gerald Celente, Willie Nelson, Rap Artist Professor Griff, Economist/Author George Humphrey, Historian/Geo Political Analyst Webster Griffin Tarpley, Alex Jones & more!
