In many nations, where tyranny and oppression are the dual weapons of their leaders, the arrival of a president like Obama would have been a welcome relief and a saving grace. Due to the very nature of our politics and system of government, our leaders have not been that tyrannical. But leaders being what they are, some of our past presidents have, in the absence of oppression, devised many ways of achieving their selfish and narrow agenda through deception, leaving government without accomplishing much that is worthy of representing the will nor wish of the average Joe and Jane.
In the case of president Obama, in my humble opinion, he is the most genuine and first, true honest president, America has had in decades. And that seems to be his problem. Many presidents have campaigned and paid lip service to the issues surrounding the average American, but he, against the mighty influence of big corporation, has chosen to stand up for the Joes and Janes. He has demonstrated it by his policies, statements and fights. for corporate world that has a long tradition of corruption and public exploitation, a true, genuine president would be their worst enemy. This underscores the well known “cut throat” style of business. To them, a president like Obama stands in their way of continued exploitation. They desire to return to those days when they could easily bilk the American consumers and the president would either look the other way or pay lip service to curbing their excesses.
That is why they are sabotaging his administration and funding propaganda messages to the very poor he is attempting to protect. Glen Beck, even with his conservative views, could not help but lament yesterday about the sabotage of the economy. A new president working for the very poor, is being literally blackmailed by “Big Business” before the same poor, misleading them to think he is against them, when his actions show differently, and we are too dumb to see who is really on our side and who trully wants too see meaningful changes in America. Saving us from exploitation, in the amount of $32 billion, per year, from banks, should be greeted with great gratitude and not further discrediting, generated from “Big Business”. This is a major change. Those who have eyes, let them see.
