Obama Either a Republican Plant or a Jellyfish
RECEIVED Tue., May 31, 2011
Dear Editor,
Remember Obama’s opposition to legalizing warrantless wiretaps shortly before he voted in favor of them in the months leading up to the 2008 election? Obama’s explanation – doctored up in flowery doublespeak designed to convince his constituents he was still fighting for them – was basically that he didn’t want to risk alienating potential voters and that he would make them illegal again once he was president.
Here we are in 2011. Obama’s shill, Harry Reid, spent the week employing Bushwellian scare tactics, warning of terrorists marching down Main Street, unless we allowed the government to continue spying on us without oversight. And, minutes before freedom tragically fell back into the hands of the public, the “chosen one” saved us from ourselves using this neato electric pen.
This isn’t the first time Obama betrayed the people who expect him to follow through on what he says. The main difference between Obama and Hillary Clinton while they were fighting for the nomination was that she was going to force every American to buy health insurance and he understood saddling impoverished Americans with more debt wasn’t going to help them afford medical care. Next year, the insurance companies have you by the curlies whether you can afford them or not, courtesy of Obama. Same deal with the Bush tax cuts for the wealthiest Americans.
Now, Obamaniacs can roll their eyes and say, “I don’t understand his hands are tied,” or that he never claimed to be a leftist; he’s a centrist (as if the desire for civil liberty and financial survival is held solely by liberal wackos). But, let’s face facts. Obama is either a Republican plant or a jellyfish afraid of upsetting people who will never vote for him anyway. We need a new Democratic nominee for 2012. The emperor has no clothes.
