Change?
My disappointment with the Obama administration continues.

The recent health care 'debates' prove once again that America is in the grip of the military/industrial/pharmaceutical complex and other vote-trading special interests.

It makes me want to scream 'What don't you understand?' when the National Health Service in the UK is held up as what America does not want in health care. What's not to want? Health care when you want it with no limits on cost or pre-existing conditions.

This left-leaning liberal is so disgusted with the present gang in power that I am tempted to get citizenship, move to a swing state and vote Republican.

Obama campaigned on change. David Axlerod, one of his senior advisors, made this statement today;

“Every senator uses whatever leverage they have to help their states,” Mr. Axelrod said on the CNN program “State of the Union.” “That’s the way it has been. That’s the way it will always be.”

So much for change.

We Accept This Guy As A Partner?
Hamid Karzai.

OK, so it's been a couple of years. I may log more blog.

Karzai is a joke. Bleeding dollars and blood trying to democratize a place like Afghanistan is ridiculous. Hunt and kill Bin Laden and other religious cranks (be they Christian, Jews or Muslims; another story).

Margaret Warner of the Newshour interviewed Karzai. His responses are truly amazing. Fuck the UN, fuck the West, show us some respect.

Republicans oppose single payer healthcare but are quite happy to pay singularly their industrial/military complex friends engaging in so called wars against so called enemies that have killed fewer Americans than the automobile, cigarettes and fast food in a single day.

And Obama supports him with a limp at best hint that he (Karzai) should move against corruption. Change it isn't.

Makes me want to become an American citizen to vote Obama out in 2012.

I would have chosen Hilary but even this cynical bastard thought Obama could be the one. Fat chance. He disgusts me.
