So...under B*sh we had TRUTHINESS. Now we have...CHANGINESS!!

Bullshit health insurance "reform", where our dear leaders failed to fight for much of anything - except to FORCE us to BUY insurance. We had the public mandate, the majorities in Congress, the chance of a lifetime - or more - to affect change and give people real healthcare reform.

But we don't get CHANGE. We get CHANGINESS.

Then there's this:

President Signs Law Giving Defense Dept Authority To Exempt Photos From Freedom Of Information Act

ACLU Renews Call For Secretary Gates Not To Block Release Of Torture Photos

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
CONTACT: (212) 549-2666; media@aclu.org

WASHINGTON – President Obama today signed into law a Homeland Security appropriations bill that grants the Department of Defense (DOD) the authority to continue suppressing photos of prisoner abuse. The amendment, which would allow the DOD to exempt photos from the Freedom Of Information Act (FOIA), is aimed at photos ordered released by a federal appeals court as part of an American Civil Liberties Union FOIA lawsuit for photos and other records related to detainee abuse in U.S. custody overseas, although it would apply to other photos in government custody as well.

And that's just today's headlines. Get ready for more troops to Afghanistan.

Changiness we can believe in!

Anything to screw the "little" people. If this is "change" I sure hate to see stagnation.

my President.

:rofl:

It's gotten fairly old, if you think about it.
Just sort of boring now...
BHN
:evilgrin:

As dependable and predictable as a commercial pop-up, and just as useless.
Nothing ever original, creative, thoughtful, or amusing....
I initially considered that this may be the work of a robot/mechanical posting machine.

I just immediately scroll past without bothering to read....a habit now.
Not even annoyed anymore....just background noise, like the hum of an old refrigerator.

Because he had the wind at his back, and the support of the people - to bring real reform, real CHANGE. Yet he rarely takes the brave, progressive course. He makes great speeches, but delivers little to the people who supported him.

you'll be whining for 8 years no matter how good he is.

Because nothing is good enough for you when it comes to President Obama:patriot:

a bullshit law.

And it has nothing to do with the appropriations bill that just got signed.

Read the article.

I am just saying. n/t

How can any one justify these things at this point in out history?

sigh. But I had "HOPE", not "NOPE" so I'm a "DOPE"

We're ALL in that club - some just refuse to believe it.

We're all fucked, aren't we??

......................grrrrr.........

NEVER let go of my ankles!
Now I just have to bend back over and grab them again.

:eyes:

Chump Change for the Suckers.

"Hope don't cost nuthin, but it don't pay no bills."

Good one. Sad, but true.

...back UP to +1.
