Keltik htc I think you need to learn about politics more. First of all if you think a new president can implement many big policy decisions within such a short time (about 60 days) you are crazy. However obama has made good on many of his promises:
no, you are distorting my points. i.e. he said he would remove troops from Iraq, and i quote: 'immediately', he has proposed a 'build down' (Orwellian language if their ever was) and to look at the situation in 12 months, which was changed to 24 months... the same as Bush.
or what about his promise to not hire lobbyists? he has filled almost every single position with head lobbyists.
i could go on, but i have already stated this.
orders to close Guantanamo - done
- no its not done and infact its smoke and mirrors, yes he has signed a PD to
look at closing the torture facility in Gitmo (Gitmo military base will still be their) within 12 months, but all this is doing is closing the public torture facility and then moving all the 'terrorist' suspects to overseas black gulags in Romania, Hungary, Jordan etc.. where their is even less oversight... how is this 'positive change'???
stopped the use of 'harsh interrogation techniques' by the cia - done
huh?? no he hasn’t, he has kept the PD that permits the use of 'Severe Interrogation techniques' completely against his previous promise.
set a deadline for combat operations in iraq - done (to believe he could ever stop the war in a day or month is naive)
Barack said, and i quote,
'their is no military solution in Iraq, i will remove all troops immediately' he has now proposed a 'build down' moving all the troops removed to Afghanistan (soon to be Pakistan aswell) leaving a force of 40 to 50,000 troops in Iraq... oh yes what a removal of all troops, he cant get them out because more powerful people put them in the first place, i mean they haven’t built US bases in Iraq bigger than the vatican just to leave them to the native Iraqis
order more troops to Afghanistan - done
oh yes, lets send more troops to be massacred to protect the bumper opium crops, what a great idea. No one has even managed to conquer Afghanistan, not us (the Brits), not the Russians not even Alexander the Great, i read a statistc that said if Afghanistan was laid flat it would be bigger than China, hence its so hard to get under control. So i don’t see how putting more troops into a bloodbath for the benefit of CIA/Mi6 drug smuggling operations is a positive move.
he has also made strong signals on climate change, appointing scientists to senior positions, allowing states to set individual emissions targets for cars and committing to carbon trading or a carbon tax.
Obama has always been in support of the fraudulent claims that humans, specifically the 0.3% of C02 Humans release into the atmosphere every year drives climate change, one of his promises that he has infact not done a u-turn on is basically making Coal plants illegal, his quote
'you can run a coal plant if you want, but you wont make any money' wow, what a great idea, that will single handily make a couple of million people un-employed whilst but more stress on the US energy grid, but yes you are right that is one policy he hasn’t done a u-turn on but purely because majority of sheeple have been co-opted to believe the pseudo-science the small amount of C02 emmitted changes the earths climate, as one climate scientist said, and I paraphrase: ‘to focus on C02 as the driving force of the climate is ridiculous, its like your driving a car and you start having problems with changing gears so you get out your car and then start blaming the bolts on your alloys, totally disregarding the main force behind your car, the engine and the transmission.. i.e. most people ignore that big fiery ball that we see every day, funnily enough it is the main driving force of our climate’, ill leave you their to go down that rabbit hole if you choose.
You keep mentioning wire taps and decreasing the size of government but these were not big campaign issues at all for obama so seem an odd choice for things to highlight. In fact I don't think he mentioned either in any of his big television debates with mccain. Basically he was not elected on these issues.
He said when he campaigned that 'bigger government was not the answer' and that he would remove the illegal wire taps, while he may not of mentioned these on the dog and pony show debates, he did say these things and he has no intention of living up to them.
To illustrate how he is inflating government not to mention the amount of interference he is conducting in the economy which the executive branch has no remit to fiddle with you can go and see his proposals to start a civilian security force equal to the size of the current US military, basically his own type of Sturmabteilung, which would help enforce his will.
Oh, and he’s also proposing mandatory military service for all 18-25 year olds like they do in Israel... which is no surprise when you look at the history of his Chief of Staff.
and i wont start on the 12 or so bills he currently has on the house floor basically trying his hardest to make personal ownership of any firearm or ammunition illegal... which goes completely against the oath he took to protect the Constitution.
I mean his Chief of Staff, Rahm Emmanuel has said that he wants the 'No Fly List' to serve as the database that allows people to have rights or not... i.e. he said if your on the no fly list you are 'not an American' and do not deserve the rights of an American... which in a utopian world, fair enough but in the world when 5 year old kids and old grannies are on the No Fly List for no reason and you have no course to dispute your 'no fly' status its just complete totalitarian madness.
My point: the Freedoms people enjoy in America are still being removed under Obama, infact the removal of liberty is steadily being increased compared to Bush, and no one cares because Obama is a half-black/half-white guy who is very charismatic, its a cult of personality rather than substance and his backers know this.
For instance, when Obama was elected, or running up to the election i would ask people, or they would ask me if they were going to vote i would say if i were to vote i would write in Ron Paul or possibly vote Cynthia Mckinney or even Dennis Kucinich to which most people replied 'who???' illustrating the strangle hold that the mainstream media has over the election, but then i would ask why they are voting Obama and not one person ever came back at me with his policies they all said, 'because he’s fresh, because he’s new, because he sounds like a nice man' etc.. etc.. this is straight out of the Roman Emperors handbook, the Romans stated that if you had problems in a province one solution was to install a governor who everyone hated, who had policies that majority of people didn’t agree with, let it play out for a while then replace him with a nicer version, who would still continue the same agenda but with the facade of being a 'peoples leader'... its not hard to see.
It is my opinion that the banking elite have been in control of the countries for centuries, they are the money changers of the world who hold majority of the worlds wealth and actually issue the currency to our countries (the FED and the Bank of England are PRIVATE run for profit organisations) and they aren’t going to change that, I mean if you had most of the worlds wealth wouldn’t you want to shape the world? If you don’t believe this then you are very naive in my opinion.
