Subject: RE: BS: I voted for Obama, but...
Well, actually, there ARE bigger things to worry about than Obama...worry about the corporate puppetmasters who make him dance on the strings. He's just temporary. They aren't. Corporations are potentially immortal in the present legal system. And no one gets to vote either for or against them. And they normally control BOTH presidential candidates and BOTH parties through the power of their money and their business connections, so whichever party wins....the system as it is endures with little alteration in its basic approach to things, which is: Wage war, build an overseas empire through invasion and blackmail, increase domestic surveillance, conduct "false flag" attacks when necessary to get the public to support your imperial policy, export jobs, increase corporate and banking profits, reduce social services, curtail civil rights, and bail out the crooks and banksters at the top of the money chain so the rich can get richer at the expense of the rest of society.
Obama is just 4 more years of George Bush, that's all. What has really changed, aside from the "friendly face" and the noble-sounding rhetoric?
And how do they keep you distracted? By dividing you up into Democratic and Republican voting blocs and setting you at each other's throats every 2 years, that's how. It works like a charm. You get completely lost in the partisan battles and give all your power away to an amoral plutocracy that is loyal to nothing but its own greed.
