It should be quite clear to anyone who reads this blog that I don’t like Obama, for reasons that I’ve posted about for more than a year. The lines are being drawn for the elections in 2012 and there are an awful lot of people out there who still cling to the idea that Obama [...]

The water in the pot has been simmering for some time now, but it is starting to boil. I am finding more and more evidence that people are waking up and are starting to connect the dots. In an effort to spread the word (or stir the pot, take your pick!), I’m re-posting this article, [...]

For those who would like a Marxist perspective on the so-called “debt crisis”, read the work of Richard D. Wolff. His website has lots and lots of thought-provoking articles, unlike the kind that you read in the main stream media, which largely repeat what Tea Party zealots hear on their favorite right-wing talk radio stations.

This is an interesting article, from Al Jazeera, of course, on how the corporate media in this country marginalizes dissent. If you plan on voting for Obama, do yourself a favor and at least read the article – it just might begin to show you that what pollutes the airwaves and print media in this [...]

It is apparent, looking back, that Obama had plans to gut Social Security from the very beginning of his administration. It’s just that we were so happy that W. was out of office that we weren’t paying attention. Plus, we actually believed all that crap about “change you can believe in” and “audacity of hope” [...]

The title of the article caught my eye – what is that about, I thought. So I proceeded to read it and had my eyes further opened about Obama. It’s rather long, but it is an easy read and I think my readers (those few that stop by!) would enjoy it. For the life of [...]
