No Change
2012 presidential candidate Barack Obama is beginning to resemble his idol Ronald Reagan more every day. Repeating the same old lines about hope and change, patronizing his vapid supporters with bromides, all the while ruining millions of American families and murdering millions of people worldwide who stand in the way of Wall Street's greed.
Sure, Obama is just a performing parrot mouthing the lines he was taught by his benefactors, but aren't all Wall Street functionaries like that? Just doing his job.
Still, letting Obama off because of his self-deprecating nature, or because he consistently hits his lines with a smile, seems like a poor excuse given the human misery he has had a hand in creating. In the end, he's no better or worse than any other politician who sold his soul for fame and fortune.
