Obama Deception Dulls Public Outrage on Poisonous Policies

I think it’s safe to say that the majority of you readers, and in fact the majority of the planetary population, held high hopes for the new United States President, Barack Obama.  He championed change and promised to restore respect to international affairs.  Perhaps his hand to shape insurance reform to benefit big insurance companies is awakening more of you, (like it is me), to the Obama deception which has occurred.
The candidate promised to not accept political lobbying money.  But he accepted just as many big checks as small checks.  Nearly $15 million swelled his campaign coffers from banks and securities companies alone.   (You can see for yourself at http://www.opensecrets.org/pres08/indus.php?cycle=2008&cid=N00009638.)  No wonder Wall Street wonders fill his economic cabinet.

Little doubt remains that you and I and much of the planet were fed up with 8 years of the Bush Cheney regime.  Under the billowing smoke of 9/11 they moved quickly to gut the U.S. Constitution and intensify a surveillance state at home.

Meanwhile, around the globe, this dithering duo delved to deeper depths of U.S interventionism, most notably with the start of the Oil Wars of the 21st Century draped in lean lies.  How many of you remember when they found the Weapons of Mass Destruction found in Iraq?   Oh yeah, there weren’t any.

But if you think that USA Incorporated began and ended with the last White House think again.  The new man on Pennsylvania Avenue has just the face that was needed.  Let’s be clear here.  People who were up in arms, now have their arms crossed expecting essential transformations of U.S. policies as promised.  But it’s the same deep pockets that provide the political menu to Americans at the polls.

The Center for Responsive Politics explains it as, “…a revolving door that shuffles former federal employees into jobs as lobbyists, consultants and strategists just as the door pulls former hired guns into government careers. While members of the executive branch, Congress and senior congressional staffers spin in and out of the private and public sectors, so too does privilege, power, access and, of course, money.”
It is not the elected officials and the functionaries they hire that make policies in response to voters’ needs.  If you really thought the long time U.S. senator-turned-president would be any different, I’m afraid you swallowed the Obama deception whole.

Of course it is true that the election of an African American of fairly humble origins does indeed show that any American can be elected president.  Anyone that is, if they are willing to do the bidding of the economic elite.

Only 1% of Americans control nearly 40% of the wealth and this 1% does whatever it can to keep it that way.   They are the ones calling the shots when it comes to policies that affect their interests.  (Here is a brief article of the wide wealth disparity: http://www.chinadaily.com.cn/english/doc/2006-01/28/content_516225.htm.).

Thus it should come as no surprise that Obama’s cabinet includes Bush and Clinton Administration hand-me downs as well as numerous Wall Street insiders and policy hacks.  Promises of pulling out of the North American Free Trade Agreement, affordable health care for all Americans and pulling out of the Oil Wars worked to win public hope.

But Obama is a champion of chump change alone, a fine facelift to the corporate globalist agenda to immense profits off the sweat of working people.  The Obama deception is just the latest move by the wealthy wielders of real power.  A kinder gentler figure serves as a façade for the same policies.  Are we ready to be complacent?

Whether you know about the Obama deception or not, that doesn’t mean that you are not thinking about seeing government corruption exposed. At TheSheeplesCourt.com, the government corruption network is under constant development.
