"Who you gonna call?"

Ghostbusters? ;-)

Chongo?

Bobert, I didn't say Obama started the Iraq War and the war in Afghanistan! I said the USA started those wars, and the USA was under George Bush at that time, as everyone knows. Read my post more carefully. ;-) I was simply adding further comment to Sawzaw's remarks he had made about some of the USA's other wars...not suggesting Obama had caused ALL of them. Sheesh.

My complaints with the Obama administration are only regarding stuff done since that administration has been in office, and I don't think they have turned out much better so far than Bush...although Obama is definitely a smarter and more likable personality than Bush. ;-)

The Patriot Act is still in effect.
Guantanamo is still operating (as are other such overseas prisons).
No USA war has been ended, but some new ones have been started.
The health care "reform" is a joke, in my opinion...not a funny one.
The banking criminals who caused the financial meltdown have been rewarded with bailouts.
The Federal Reserve Bank (privately owned) is still effectively above the law.
Your economy is in wretched shape.
Your unemployment figures are very high.

It isn't enough to just blame it all on the past George Bush administration. You are getting screwed by both parties, because neither one of them actually represents you (meaning, the average American citizen). There are a few individuals among both parties' congresspeople who are trying to represent the average American, but they are a tiny voice in the wilderness.

Why? Because they're not obedient corporate servants. I'm sorry I can't say the same of Mr Obama, despite his lovely personality, his keen mind, and his brilliant oratory. As far as I can see, he's a front man for "business as usual". You know who I think he works for? Wall Street, that's who.
