As I scrolled through my Facebook news feed, I discovered the following artwork here, being shared by the page, “Silenced No More,” and originally posted it to my own wall, along with commentary…
“Being the president
What my friends think I do
What Republicans think I do
What Democrats think I do
What Libertarians think I do
What socialists think I do
What I actually do.”
My Commentary: The King of the Garden of Bones!

Obama & Bush: Two Peas in a Pod
The Shocking Pattern of Obama Repeating Some of the Worst of George W. Bush:
http://www.alternet.org/story/152095/the_shocking_pattern_of_obama_repeating_some_of_the_worst_of_george_w._bush/
(TomDispatch.com, David Bromwich) Is it too soon to speak of the Bush-Obama presidency?
The record shows impressive continuities between the two administrations, and nowhere more than in the policy of “force projection” in the Arab world. With one war half-ended in Iraq, but another doubled in size and stretching across borders in Afghanistan; with an expanded program of drone killings and black-ops assassinations, the latter glorified in special ceremonies of thanksgiving (as they never were under Bush); with the number of prisoners at Guantanamo having decreased, but some now slated for permanent detention; with the repeated invocation of “ state secrets ” to protect the government from charges of war crimes; with the Patriot Act renewed and its most dubious provisions left intact — the Bush-Obama presidency has sufficient self-coherence to be considered a historical entity with a life of its own.
My Commentary: Shocking? NO!!! Not to me, nor to the millions other Americans who no longer subscribe to the false paradigm of the warmongering two-party fraud-system! Not everyone has had their head in the sand! One thing’s FOR SURE: as the government continues to murder, war, occupy and imperialize, MANY, MANY MORE individuals will awaken from their slumber to the reality of the BIG LIE!
The following correspondence originally took place upon the Facebook wall of family…
Big Spender, Barack Obama
Genaire: Obama has spent more then any other first term president in history!!!
Jason V.: It’s expensive cleaning up someone else’s mess . . . Lol
Genaire: He’s making a huge mess of his own. Yes he removed a lot of the troops we have in Iraq but we have record numbers of contracted forces in iraq now that make three times what the conventional forces make. Now that these forced have been removed from Iraq we can prepare them to fight in afghanistan and Iran Go Obama lol! Ron Paul 2012
Earlene E.: Not his fault he has to clean behind others. Good U acknowledge he has removed troops form Iraq. Surely, we can find some positive in his actions and focus on that as opposed to the negatives so much. Like Steve Harvey says: “Don’t trip. God ain’t finished with me, yet.”
Jason V.: Yeah, it’s amazing the criticism he gets from only what, 2 years? Lmao . . . It’s crazy how quickly everyone forget the prior 8 years . . . BUSH, remeber him? Probably the worst president in the history of the u.s. . . . . Although time will tell .. . .
Genaire: Okay, my beef is, if we really had no business in Iraq in the first place, why did it take this long to return our troops. Second, does any one really know why we are in Afghanistan (to spread Democracy)? Now its been speculated that we will go to war with Iran. If this guy is the savior why has he not pulled out all the troops in all the countries we are presently invading. We are spending trillions in the name of spreading Democracy and I personally don’t think its our business to spread Democracy to nations that are willing to fight soo hard to reject it. What’s really going on is we are trying to get a line for our pipe lines to the Caspian sea so we can milk the Middle East dry for its oil. Its a practice that Bush put in place and its being followed by Obama the savior.
Rayn: Obama is just another bought-and-paid for puppet of the Elite. He is also a war criminal, too, like Bush. And, just like Bush, he is a member of that 1% sliver of the American public that is super-rich. And, because he doesn’t live in the real world, he does not, and never will, represent the interests of the American people.
Anyone who voted for Obama on the premise that he would end the wars in the Middle-East simply wasn’t paying attention. While Obama did promise, when on the campaign trail, to withdraw substantial combat troops from Iraq… he explained again and again that he would do so in order to send them into Afghanistan! He also promised to escalate covert bombings within the borders of Pakistan, as well!
However, America has no business in Iraq OR Afghanistan (or Pakistan, for that matter)! Our military has been conducting HIGHLY ILLEGAL operations within the borders of these countries every day single day for years now, and it is all justified under the dictatorship of executive-branch-based legal maneuvering! Yet, it ‘s STILL all WAR CRIMES! Even the slightest amount of critical thinking would yield the following results: regardless of who is in charge while it takes place, WARS OF AGGRESSION and TORTURE are WRONG! Therefore, those who have become APOLOGISTS for it now that their “choice” candidate is in office are simply fooling themselves, and STILL AREN’T FOCUSING ON WHAT REALLY MATTERS!
The following correspondence originally took place upon my Facebook wall…
War Criminal, General David Petraeus
Charles C.: For real?!! General Betray-us is back!!! And no one is pissed?!!
Rayn: Sickening! And, even in the face of warmongering actions such as this, many American sheeple STILL believe that O-BOMB-ya can do no wrong! To them, I say: ENJOY YOUR FALSE PEACE CANDIDATE!
Morgan S.: I am pissed that he is back. as an ex Marine. all I can say is it is either North Korea or Iran that will be next. just wait and see.
The following debate originally took place on my Facebook wall, upon my post, “Cindy Sheehan Heads to Martha’s Vineyard to Confront Obama on the War“…
Peace activist, Cindy Sheehan
Rayn: Cindy Sheehan Heads to Martha’s Vineyard to Confront Obama on the War:
http://cindysheehanssoapbox.blogspot.com/2009/08/cindy-sheehan-heads-to-marthas-vineyard.htmlWhile most Americans voted President Obama into the Whitehouse with the “hope” that he would effect real “change,” by putting an end to the previous administration’s falsely-premised, highly illegal wars of aggression & occupation in the Middle East, very few individuals have been willing to take him to task for his blatant failure to make any sort of true “progress.” Then, there’s peace activist, Cindy Sheehan. Unfazed by the “right” and “left” of American politics, she bodly chooses, rather, to focus on what is “right” vs. “wrong.” With the loss of her son, Casey, to the senseless war in Iraq, she honors his memory by making it her personal mission to end our Imperial Adventures overseas, period.
During the week of August 23-30, while Obama’s vacationing @ an expensive resort on Martha’s Vineyard, Cindy will join other activists in letting him know that there’s no relaxing when peole are still dying in our wars! She’s a courageous American, a real Humanitarian & a true patriot!
Kenny C.: It is sick! How can the Commander in chief be on vacation at a resort while there is a full blown war going on with over hundred thousand brainwashed american soldiers killing innocent women and children in countries we have no business in.
INSTEAD OF VACATION, WORK ON YOUR PROMISE YOU MADE, END THE WAR AND PRESERVE THE CONSTITUTION!
Rayn: As I have said before, Obama IS working on the promises he made, and all is going according to planned! Allow me to direct your attention to some of the comments he made when he was still just a candidate on the campaign trail, looking to secure American votes:
Speaking from Afghanistan in a July 20, 2008 interview on “Face the Nation,” Obama said, ”it’s time for us to withdraw some of our combat troops out of Iraq, and deploy them here in Afghanistan, and I think we have to seize that opportunity. Now’s the time for us to do it” (http://www.cbsnews.com/video/watch/?id=4275914n). Translation: MORE WAR IN AFGHANISTAN!
Speaking on August 1, 2007 in an address to the Woodrow Wilson International Center in Washington, DC, Obama stated the same exact agenda, taking it a step further: “The first step must be getting off the wrong battlefield in Iraq, and taking the fight to the terrorists in Afghanistan and Pakistan” (http://www.stripes.com/article.asp?section=104&article=58663). Translation: MORE WAR IN AFGHANISTAN! NEW ILLEGAL WAR OF AGGRESSION AGAINST PAKISTAN!
According to Obama, “if we have actionable intelligence about high-value terrorist targets and President Musharraf will not act, we will” (http://www.reuters.com/news/video?videoId=62500&newsChannel=domesticNews). Translation: NEW ILLEGAL COVERT WAR OF AGGRESSION AGAINST PAKISTAN!
Obama even went as far as saying, “we must not turn a blind eye to elections that are neither free nor fair – our goal is not simply an ally in Pakistan; it is a democratic ally” (read transcript of entire speech here: http://www.barackobama.com/2007/08/01/the_war_we_need_to_win.php) Translation: REGIME CHANGE AND NATION-BUILDING IN PAKISTAN!
In August of 2007, in an article entitled “Renewing America’s Leadership,” published in the Council on Foreign Relations’ (CFR) “Foreign Affairs” Magazine, Obama wrote, “I will not hesitate to use force, unilaterally if necessary, to protect the American people or our vital interests whenever we are attacked or imminently threatened. We must also consider using military force in circumstances beyond self-defense in order to provide for the common security that underpins global stability — to support friends, participate in stability and reconstruction operations, or confront mass atrocities” (read transcript of entire speech here: http://www.globalpolicy.org/component/content/article/153/26336.html). Translation: NEW UNPROVOKED, ILLEGAL WARS OF AGGRESSION AGAINST MIDDLE-EASTERN SOVEREIGN NATIONS!
In this same article, Obama also claimed that “we must develop a strong international coalition to prevent Iran from acquiring nuclear weapons and eliminate North Korea’s nuclear weapons program. Iran and North Korea could trigger regional arms races, creating dangerous nuclear flashpoints in the Middle East and East Asia. In confronting these threats, I will not take the military option off the table. But our first measure must be sustained, direct, and aggressive diplomacy — the kind that the Bush administration has been unable and unwilling to use.” Translation: NEW ILLEGAL WAR OF AGGRESSION AGAINST NORTH KOREA! NEW ILLEGAL WAR OF AGGRESSION AGAINST IRAN!
See what I mean? Obama was always just another Bush, hell-bend on expanding America’s wars in the Middle East. I tried to warn as many people as I could not to vote for this warmongering pig, but only a select few took the time to review my research!
But, you know what? It’s never to late to turn this slimeball into the LAME DUCK he should be! We can prevent his re-election if we spread the truth around, and let people know that they were fooled by this FALSE PEACE CANDIDATE! (Click Here to Continue Reading This Post)
