I know you don't care what I think, with all those high-paid clowns dispensing all that brilliant strategy to you on how to piss-off those loser hippies who funded, supported, and fought for you across America in 2008, but here it is.
You're a bit like Bubba, in that despite all those flowery speeches about hope or being from a place called hope (who can get it straight anymore) you've given over the past few years, we really don't know what you believe. I mean, the nihilists and brain-dead masses think you're a Marxist Fascist with ties to Kenyan revolutionaries. I don't know what that means either, other than interpreting it as an odd way to just call you a nigger. I've never really thought you were the second coming of FDR, but you were a better option than the Queen corporatist Madam Clinton. People liked what you had to say and what you represented, but back then it mostly was about voting against eight hard and dismal years under the Bush junta. However, you waffled and instead of steamrolling what remained of the right wing yahoo's and pushing through a progressive and liberal agenda, you coddled and capitulated to their bizarre demands. Let's recap:
- Did exactly what Bush said he would do in ending the Iraq war; that being leaving 50K troops to babysit the Shia thugocracy in Baghdad.
- Escalated the Afghan war, which everyone has already admitted is lost.
- Caved into special interests in the health care bill, by eliminating the public option and preventing the importation of drugs from Canada.
- Created a health care bill that would force individuals to purchase lame health care coverage and subsidise the crooked insurance companies.
- Pushed through a special debt committee, filled with right-wing ideologues and hacks demanding that Social Security be privatized under the guise of bi-partisanship.
- Bailed out your friends and big-donor buddies in the banks, but left the rest of the nation submerged with debt and ever-expanding (and now illegal) foreclosures
- Failed to prosecute any of the major players in the Bush junta for war crimes, crimes against humanity, violations of the Constitution, and numerous illegal acts and unethical behavior
- Advanced the post-911 security-surveillance state to new levels
- Advanced the military-industrial complex in the face of mounting debts and limited resources
- Let Israel make a complete mockery of you, Hillary Clinton, Joe Biden, and your entire administration relating to the Palestinian issue
- Allowed the minority blue dog Democrats to dictate the terms of major legislation, so they could retain their congressional seats (which as every poll indicates, they won't)
- Put in charge Ken Salazar as Secretary of the Interior, effectively creating what others have referred to as Bush's 3rd term with respect to governmental regulation and resource management of public assets
- Colluded with BP to lie to the public on the scope and severity of the Gulf of Mexico oil spill.
People who voted for you, in the deluded belief that government could mend it ways, are looking at a moribund economy, a Democratic Party that is incapable of defending themselves against corrupt Republican and Tea Party slander, and a crypto-fascist uprising funded by the same assholes whose jobs and balance sheets you saved from complete Armageddon. A lot of people said early on that you were playing three-dimensional chess and were way smarter than the rest of the dolts on the Hill. It's pretty clear that not only don't you have game, but you're really not as bright as those Harvard and Columbia degrees might imply.
So Barack, if you want to do something meaningful, do yourself a favor and grow a couple, because this nonsense you've been pedalling for the past 21-months is getting tired and no one is going to vote for you if you keep selling the same recycled shit that Bush left behind on the White House's going-out of business sale in November 2008.
Fuck-you very much.
The Lifer.
