Obama vs Israel: A Winning Reelection Strategy Among Independent Voters

One of the reasons Barack Obama was elected the first time was his anti Iraq invasion credential. That one fact seperated him starkly from former President George W. Bush. and his opponent John McCain. He was like the" great white hope" in boxing lore . Albeit he was as black as they come, but he took on the war machine.  That attracted independent voters to Obama. Mitt Romney never really learned from that presidential election.. The winning election strategy was to run against the pentagon and run against one off their cat paws. The cat paw is Israel. The existence of the rogue state of Israel insures billions of military hardware sales to all concerned. Remember Newt Gingrich? He was doing great until he embraced the wishes of casino mogul Sheldon Adelson.  Adelson gave ten million to Gingrich's campaign to insure that Gingrich would make Israel's security a priority even if it meant another war for the war weary Americans . That was a turning point. Newt's eloquence and conservative policies were all for naught when the prospects of another president like George W Bush was offered.

So now we have Obama publicly snubbing Prime Minister Netanyahu of Israel. Despite Obama's large negatives of socialistic policies and economic stagnation, Obama is marginally ahead of Romney in swing states and in national polls.

 Independents don't like the military and they don't like Israel. They like Obama's trashing Israel.

Misanthropes News Roundup; It's Going to Get Worse

The Wall Street Journal carries an article that Africa now has a middle class of approximately 313 million. They're buying appiliaces, TVs , cars, disposable items that are packed in throw away packaging. Where's away? They are being added to the recently launced 1.2 billion Chineese middle class who are munching and defecating their way through the planets natural wealth.

Another article last week in the New York Times calculated that the total value of financial derivatives in play is app. $584 trillion! Some prospective would compare that figure with the app. $ 20 trillion value of all real estate in the U.S. In other words, not only have we bet all houses on the outcome of Wall Street bets on stocks through commodites and including payouts on life insurance settlements but we have leveraged the structures app 30 to 1. What could possibly go right with that bet? Commodity price surges have accounted for the riots around the world. Wall Street speculators have contributed to poverty and starvation. You see, when poor people buy wheat or gas, they buy it for one day and pay cash. But when Wall Street "investment" banks and speculators buy wheat or gas, they buy the product of entire fields for months and years to come. AND they buy it on as little as 5% margin.

Osama bin Laden was killed yesterday. Good riddance. But George W. Bush wont get indicted. Actually the little mean spirited moron is still alive, writing books and giving speeches. To recap, the latest news for misanthropes is pretty bleak. But this news does bring new converts to the ranks. Ah well, flu season is coming.

George W. Bush and the End of Neoconservatism

George W. Bush by his actions has effectively ended neoconservatism as a viable strategy. The useful moron to the neoconservatives has proven to be the instrument of the rejection of neoconservatism in the Middle East. Turning the little idiot loose with the military to invade Afghanistan and Iraq has brought swift reactions. One by one ,Iran, Egypt, Lebanon, Yemen, Turkey, Tunisia, Algeria, Afghanistan , Iraq, Palestinians and others have distanced themselves from U.S. and the neoconservatives. The people in the streets have revolted against their Western bribed leaders to advance more representative government. Probably many will come up with an Islamic Republic as per Iran. Which brings up a question. Who will we sell arms to? Will we sell/give arms to Egypt with the Islamic Brotherhood represented in government? Which brings up another question. Will our military-industrial warmongers want to sell to Islamic Republics? What will the Israel lobby tell state governors about denying sales to Egypt which will impact jobs in their locales? Next to go will be Israel. It will either bend to a two state solution or disappear.

I wonder What W. thinks? Maybe he says to himself, " What me worry?"

P.S. Today, February 7, the Associated Press is carrying the story George W. Bush scheduled speech in Switzerland before the United Israel Appeal was canceled. A number of protest groups including Amnesty International have filed for W.'s arrest and arranged for "shoe throwing demonstrations" for his alledged war crimes. The reineactmentment of shoe throwing episode is in rememberance of a brave Iraqi journalist who's only way of protesting the crude cretins presence at an Iraqi news conference some years ago was to toss his shoes.

W. must have a hint how pathetic he is when only parasitic Zionists are your supporters.

Et Tu Berlusconi?

Prime Minister of Italy ,Silvio Berlusconi got a broken nose, split lip and broken teeth from a voter in Italy yesterday in the city of Milan. That was Berlusconi's home town. In these days of would be empires e.g. , al Qaida and the United States which are projecting their aspirations among the remains of former empires -Italy's Roman Empire being the most famous- the assault on Berlusconi is worth noting. 

A quick look of Berlusoni's history on Wikipedia involves about a 2-3  foot scroll down of mostly allegations of criminal conduct without convictions. The allegations range from collusion with the Mafia in assorted schemes through corruption and bribery of the police and judges to tax fraud and criminal accounting techniques. His personal moral rap sheet is another matter.

But Berlusconi on a number of occasion has used his postion as head of state to pass laws in Italy's paliament to protect himself from prosecution and conviction. In two or three court battles the proceedings were stopped  because of a statute of limitations law that was passed by his majority in parlaiment while the court was in session.

One can understand the frustration of Berlusconi's assailant. One can hardly understand why there was only one such incident in Berlusoni's long tenure. Anyway, Berlusconi got off a lot easier than former empire dreamers Julius Caesar and Benito Mussolini did. 

All empires dissolve because of corruption. There will always be corruption . But the best way to limit it is to have more power locally so the corruption can be accessed and stopped more quickly and easily. I predict that this physical voter activism towards deseriving unindicted criminal politicians  will gain more popularity. George W. Bush and Dick Cheney are on many short lists if opportunity provides an opening.

Bush & Clinton: Nerf Presidents

George W. Bush and Bill Clinton were in Toronto, Canada last night. They were both paid to show up and talk their contrasting political views. Well they showed up. But the expected contrasts didn't. There would have been more animation and interest if either spilled a water glass on stage.

Welcome to Nerf politicians. Two overpaid foam rubber men who would do anything and have to get elected but privately only believe in money and wont sweat an uncontested or ungraded debate. The commentator should have sprung a "winner take all" purse of $300,000 to the winner of the debate as per the audience vote. That will be the day.

Short of that, the audience should have been peppered with a couple of shoe throwers or rag heads with grenades. One can only dream when reality is so boring and decadant.

Caught In An Unreal Reality

Help! It's March 11, 2009 and the usual dump of unreal news that conflicts with how things really are continues unabated.

Example #1: George W. Bush's publicists announced the former president is about to launch a "lucrative speaking tour". Say what? The moron who couldn't speak cogently about anything save trash talk will be paid 6 figures by private assemblies. The real morons are in the audience.

Example #2: President Barack Obama wants to spend more money on education. Never mind that the U.S. has spent more money on education for a longer period of time than any other country in history. In spite of this money dump our students rank in the lowest percentiles ever since the intergration of schools back in the 1960s. How about paying the would be parents of these dunces not to have children and thereby unclog our school system of statistically proven unwanted and untalented children for a fraction of the cost of trying to educate them ?

Example #3: The U.N. has admitted defeat in its latest 10 year plan to discouarge illegal drug trafficking. Yet in the same breath it anounced a new 10 year plan . People have had a word for drugs long before the words United Nations. What's that tell you?

And what will tommorow bring? Never mind. Stick to the truth and sooner or later they will see it your way.

Barack Obama Has A Loaded Gun

What's the difference between a loaded gun and a one- political- party control of government? Well the loaded gun can kill you. Whereas the single party control ruins you to the point of one wanting to kill themself or kill someone else. And so Obama has a political loaded gun in his hand.

Some of the bullets include wealth redistribution to the point of socialism . Or how about extreme trade protectionism to the point of trade breakdowns on a worldwide basis? What about an expansion of the Depatrment Of Education to finally preclude all new generations from a meaningful classical education? And certainly there are other nasty possibilities when the spending monkeys in congress have over $3 trillion in the budget to spend.

But maybe Obama will be prudent and govern from the center. America needs someone like that. The past 2 presidents included the educated moron Bill Clinton and the plain vanilla moron George W. Bush. We have to do better than that.
