If the past 8 years have not proven to people that they no longer elect their leaders and decision are made by commission of a global shadow government I do not know what will. We all wondered where the distractions for the economy would come from and I believe we all deep down knew that they were arranging things for war and were determined to get one which is why we never left the region. 

And he just said NO GROUND TROOPS. Remember that one.

Watch him disappear, underground, somewhere at the first sign of real trouble.

As someone had suggested back a day or three ago, this is the perfect set-up fro McChrystal or some other Army type to step in.

Anyone seen Joe Biden lately by the way? US Veeps have a strange habit of going AWOL in the weeks before real shit hits real fans.

I am relatively new to this site.  I am a college student, going to med school. I don’t have a strong economic background or financial background, but realize when shit isn’t going right in the world. I have gained substantial knowledge about the problems in the world, and have tried to address my family and friends. But correct me if I am wrong, but don’t people get murdered in other parts of Africa as if they were Jews in the holocaust (Darfur) and we do not do shit. Is the only reason we care about Libya is oil? And play it off like we care about the people?

I have been taught the complete opposite this site is trying to tell me. For one, I didn't vote for Obama or anyone in my first capable election, because my choice(Ron Paul) was not an option. You are no better than the bankster scum ruining this world. Go back to your miserable life, and allow the youth to leanr and ask questions

No one left in great shape that night. Even me and one of the other girls got knocked in the face a few times by some of the nearby crowd surfers.

U.S. stunned by latest undercover sting

 

The nation was left reeling yesterday by the revelation that the presidential election of 2008 was a hoax. The shocking announcement came when White House press secretary Jay Carney told reporters that Barack Obama has been working in secret with conservative provocateur James O'Keefe since 2007.

Carney said the scam entailed pulling together demographic, social, cultural and policy characteristics to create the most exaggerated Democratic candidate possible without stepping over the line into caricature.

I hate to "show my hand" so to speak, but this has nothing to do with Obama's race or his background or anything else directly related to him.

 

Obama is a shill, a hired hand, a puppet.  And that should have been obvious to everyone in 2008.

 

He had only been a Senator for 2 years (before that a "community organizer" or whatever).

 

He had NO  executive or military experience.

 

He had a MUSLIM NAME for crissakes.  And....

 

He was black.

 

Need I say more.  Yes I can.  He ran against a war hero with loads of experience in the Senate.  I mean how obvious could it be that was a puppet for the people who actually control this country.  It was amazing to see such powerful people just fall in line behind this guy.  The posters at ZeroHedge need to stop beating their chests over this guy and move on.  The entire political process is a complete joke.  How sad it is for black people that this is the first black president (and probably the last);  I mean, he really isn't even a black american (his wife and kids are though).  Hell, he probably isn't american either.  I'm drunk so I'm closing this and going back to lurking.  Keep up the good work.  The posters here are amazing.

 

Cheers!!!!

Well, Clueless, yes, you did show your hand.  You're most likely a dumb-ass right-wing Christian war-monger.  Did I get it right?  Oh, please!  I so much want to be right...

What fucking childish BS is bandied about.  Shallow comments from shallow people...

How about getting a clue?

This is a fucking empire.  Your hero fly-boy, McCain, was a war criminal, a spolied fucking brat who was looking to ride the war-glory plane to a seat of power.  Kind of like Bush, born with a golden spoon in his mouth.

You pray for a leader, so... a leader you get.  Bad planning on YOUR part!  You (almost certainly) vote in the very system that you're now slamming!  And when it's not serving YOUR fucking delusions, like complete control over the planet with the ME in smoldering ruins, you whine.

Go suck up some more precious resources and pretend that you're not having an impact, that god said that you could take all that you want and that if you don't get what YOU want then god has given you permission to take from others, even kill them, because, well, because they are "evil," they don't bow to YOUR god.

Dr. Strangelove.  That's your vision.  And, I hope that you get it so that we can finish off what is clearly our losing hand.  I'll just let you vote for your own extinction: thank god for evolution!

Yeah, keep voting the System and this is what you are going to get!  How the fuck do all you Obama bashers not get it that it's NOT Obama, just as it wasn't Bush, it's THE FUCKING SYSTEM!

Apparently people need a refresher:

Right. So, you're on the Sarah Palin 2012 train, then.

Seeing that it doesn't matter and all....

Just checking.

If we all concentrate really hard all at the same time, could we wish him off to the cornfield?

Actually, I am not right wing.  I am far the opposite.  I don't dislike Obama either.  My point was that he was packaged, presented and supported by TPTB or whatever you want to call them.  This is the good ole USA.  And black men with Muslim names do NOT become President of the US unless some pretty powerful people want him to be.  His election is proof positive that the electorial process in this country is corrupted by repair.

 

And btw, I VOTED for Obama.  But I was never under any illusions as to what he is/was and how he got to be president.

I'm a 62 yo liberal who has been against every war of my political lifetime.

I had been thinking that Teddy Kennedy must be spinning in his grave so fast he has his own gravitational field.

I am among many liberals who watched the country sold out during the 'Health Care Debate', selling us out to the insurance companies, and the idiotic refusal to concentrate on the problem of unemployment.

The continuation of bushco lawlessness, war profiteering, unpunished fraud, and actual downright criminal collusion with the aforementioned fraud, and finally installing jp morgan as chief of staff.

The torture of an American soldier, who is unconvicted of any crime.

Especially if his first 'crime' was the  video exposure of this country committing a war crime, slaughtering innocent iraqis.

I would wish for him to be primaried but there is a dearth of anyone to rise to the occasion.  I don't plan to vote for him and think he may be reelected by default.

The republicans are totally pathetic, and anyone who would look back to wish mccain was there should know he had to crash a couple of planes before he could make sure he was captured, yeah he suffered, point stipulated, but he proved how down right stupid he was by cowering during the very meltdown his chief financial advisor, phil gramm, helped create, and picking the dumbest quitter in America as VP.

They have NO one who has the intellectual firepower and could capture the imagination of the country to be a viable alternative.

This president is regarded by most of the left as a corporate trojan horse. 

His economic team has never mentioned the 99ers,

they don't talk about the unemployed, young or old.

The Nobel Committee should ask for the prize back.

Finally the puerile chest pounding about fight club/zero hedge glandular disturbances are downright lame, and the casual tossing of racist epithets is beneath educated dignity, with the same testosteroid ignorance of haley barbour.

I don't care what you call your self.

i almost forgot what the headline was because so many people have lost theirs on this thread. why don't we start acting like betsy ross and sew the wind of change into the flag of liberty. otherwise we are left with "commit it then to the flames: for it contains nothing but sophistry and illusion." the beautiful thing about this country as far has i have experienced it is that if Socrates lived anew, he would not be made to drink hemlock.but to counterbalance my patriotism i would say that hegemony does not deserve a hedge.

Obama's response to the Japan disaster is despicable.  He will not be reelected, he is done.

Read this heartbreaking story and tell me that Obama is doing enough.

Obama is honestly a total joke.

Don't slam me for this, but... I VOTED FOR JOHN McCAIN!!!

Yep, that is correct.

I could smell the snake oil around Obama from a mile away!

I was 18, a freashman in college, during the entire Obama campaign. During late nights and finals, my friends and I would watch the presidential debates. 9/10 of them were PRO-Obama, I being the only dissenter amongst them supporting Ron Paul!

So sad this state of affairs. I know the average ZHer is at least 35+++, imagine me only 20 understanding the majority of what you all know!

the Univeristy today is such a joke! It is nothing but booze+sex+wild partying these days. Class is entirley secondary.

I work as secretary right now downtown Chicago, this whole degree/college thing will most likely go down as a unnessary expenditure. Oh well :/
