Even though things were scarier under Bush, most people still believed we could turn things around at the ballot box. Now they know they cant.

End the Empire

By Oliver Stone and Peter Kuznick

Obama has taken a page from the Bill (and Hillary) Clinton playbook and governed as a right-leaning centrist. While trying naively to ingratiate himself with an opposition bent solely on his defeat, he has repeatedly turned his back on those who put him in office.

Reporter grills U.S. Department of State, pointing out the hypocrisy of the U.S. releasing their Human Rights report giving themselves a squeaky clean image, and at the same time denying the U.N.s Special Rapporteur access to evaluate the condition of Pfc. Bradley Manning.

President Obama pledged Wednesday 'to act boldly now' on the huge deficits. But alas his newly revealed budget for 2012 is no better at cutting the deficit than was his first attempt just two months ago. Yes, we do indeed need to act boldly. With deficits accumulating to $4.3 trillion during over his first three years as president and another $10.4 trillion projected over the next decade, time is not on our side. As it is, the president not only pushed for the increased spending but also has fought budget cuts at each step along the way...

Obamas never-never debt payment plan

When President Obama mouths off about a 'free society,' you know that the tokenism will be followed by a list of 'liberties' that takes the 'vision thing' away from private individuals, and leaves it to souped-up civil servants and voracious bureaucrats. After BHO took great care to tether his 'vision' of America to the size of state social programs, here is what the president?s vague, debt-reduction plans entail...

Congressman Dennis Kucinich: My Experience Dealing With the Department of Defense Regarding Pfc. Bradley Manning Has Been Kafkaesque

Congressman Dennis Kucinich, Truthout: 'Since my initial request to visit Private First Class (Pfc.) Bradley Manning on February 4, 2011, the Department of Defense (DoD) has consistently sought to frustrate any attempts to communicate with Pfc. Manning regarding his well-being. I was initially told that I would need Pfc. Manning's approval in order to meet with him. When Pfc. Manning indicated his desire to meet with me, I was belatedly informed that the meeting could only take place if it was recorded because of a Monitoring Order imposed by the militarys Special Courts-Martial Convening Authority on September 16, 2010, which was convened for the case.'

Debt wrong

by Peter Suderman

04/14/11

Obama managed a neat trick. He portrayed the nations mounting debt as an existential threat that somehow didnt require any hard choices. 'We dont have to choose between a future of spiraling debt and one where we forfeit investments in our people and our country,' he said. The speechs nods toward fiscal realism, it turns out, were just a new cover for yet another empty promise that Americans can have it all...

Like most first-term Presidents after two years, Obama is preoccupied with his re-election, and perceives - not unreasonably - that that goal is best accomplished by adopting GOP policies. The only factor that could subvert that political calculation - fear that he could go too far and cause Democratic voters not to support him -- is a fear that he simply does not have: probably for good reason...
