Obama, The 'Fiddling' Optimist

Having dictated to the citizenry - "Do not get cynical. Hope is the better choice," this week, we thought the following cartoon was particularly appropriate...

Fuck all pols, crat and banksters with a rusty pipe.

Watched the documentary called "Missing Links" last night, and I would recommend it to anyone interested in what really happened on 9/11.

I believe that they just covered the nine-tenths that is above water, both on 9/11 and the JCN.

I added Missing Links (2 + hours) to my unwatched documentaries list; perhaps it might become a fourth step in my 3-step plan:

As early at 2003, polls indicated only 25% of New York City residents believed the US government cockamamie 9/11 conspiracy theory; polls are now starting to show that less than 50% of the US population believes it.

 

Any of that minority that I encounter, I try to ease into the truth in 3 easy steps, suggesting (1) a 16-second investment of their time here:

[VIDEO - 00:16] ReThink911 Toronto Subway Ad

And then,

(2) 5.5 minutes at the witty, fast-paced, and information-packed video here...

[06:00] 911 Truth ~ 9/11 In a Nutshell

…that includes 33 seconds beginning at 05:00 of outtakes featuring NYPD, FDNY, and others who escaped from the Twin Towers.

And then,

(3):

Architects & Engineers for 9/11 Truth

Well, optimism and hope are preferable to cynicism and despondency. Admittedly, the Obama administration stretches credibility by making such a statement in the face of an increasingly volatile global economy and geopolitical situation.

Actions speak louder than words.

Optimism doesn't describe Obama. He is a psychopathic, malevolent entity existing in a human shell form. When ever I look at him he reminds me of the bug in Men in Black ( the bug being more attractive). But the fiddling part is apt. Nero reputedly did this because he wanted to clear space for his magnificent golden palace Domus Aurea and needed 100 acres. The little people burned alive for the greater good. Obama looks at the whole country as his plaything.

And we all know that this man Obama was a handpicked agent by our elite rulers to maintain the hoax of democracy, choice and the ability to change our rulers with the vote. This man became a funded candidate only after endless meetings with our elites and corporate military complex reprentitives. The Democratic Leadership Council is one of these filters that a candidate must pass through. The DLC brings together Bankers, Corporations, Military and Spy agencies and a handful of fake liberal organizations as front. Here Obama was questioned about his willingness to play ball with the Washington Elites, and his total surrender to the military industrial spy complex. And what the DLC does  is clears all candidates with the Banking classes. Obama passed all these tests, a total tool of the some interests that elected George Bush. He was handed written orders by the Deep State Eilites and told to follow it, or watch the "Zapruder film" of Jack Kennedy's planned state murder by the Deep State.

Why Obama you ask? Well he can be called black and liberal, this gives America and the world an impression that America is wide open to all types of peoples to gain office. When in fact this was a cheap fraud. He is white, conservative to the point of fascism and a total banker tool. Now you might complain and say Bull Shit, But I say Bull Shit to Bull Shit. He may offer a bone to social liberals in minor ways, but that is it. In all elese he is simply George W. Bush in Black Face. And he is half white, his mothers sex partners tended toward the black you never go back type.

But wake up, America is a one party state. Obama was the 8 year fascist in democrat guise, now we will get a republican 8 year president of white color and full fascist, banker whore and total war monger. He will throw a bone or two to social conservatives. As IF government has any right at all to get involved in our personal lives. This is a carry over from America's days of powerful church influence, where government, like church, believe they have a right to tell us how to live in our personal lives. Personally, Fuck the Churches, and Fuck the State. I'll live my life how I see fit.

57 years young. Been observing politics for umpteen years. Kennedy, Johnson, Tricky dick, Ford, Carter, Reagan, Herbert Walker, Clinton, Bush, Obama.....

The debt just gets bigger and bigger, the FED gov just gets larger and larger. Local police, State police, National guard, Coast guard,  FBI, Army, Navy, Marines, Airforce, DEA, CIA, NSA, DOD, DIA, DHS......what did i miss? ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME? Seems we are a wee bit top heavy with protection, but alas I DONT FEEL more protected, I feel more violated.

Ive never felt more NON- protected by so many entities, yet...i look around in my bedroom community and See nothing, just people attempting to get through their days wondering what this great experiment is all about.  and yet so called AMERICANS continue the boosheeit arguing over "their party", with Great gusto as we have slowly evolved from a creditor nation to a debtor nation. Its amazing to watch. 

Liberal, Conservative. Two titles that generalize all of us. Talk about myopic. At this point we do require a reset......In my life, i dont live in fear, but dayaaaaam....all of this protection is beginning to make me a lil nervous...

"Identity Politics.". Right out of the Nixon playbook. Loot the treasury, destroy the middle class, bankrupt the State. Don't call for sacrifice, explain " we've got it all covered so shut up and stick to the plan" (no questions please) and then see if you can start the absolutely wrong war in the absolutely wrong place at absolutely the wrong time. "See who shows up and make sure to pay yourself first."

You'd be surprised how many tag along.

Are you referring to "W" or Obama?  W - or Cheney, turned this country around the wrong way and flushed us all down the toilet.  Obama is merely the pawn of the bankers continuing the ruse.  This is why so many "libs" are leaning away from Hilary and Dem standard bearers, otherwise Ob would have a positive rating.   Remember "Won't Get Fooled Again?" We'll we did.

It seems the TEAs and ZHers are just setting themselves to get fooled again since they'll just vote GOP and someone a la Romney or Rand and think they're in on the secret Fox news sells.  Even Rand Paul would wind up being the "Obama" of the GOP.  

Unfortunately the TEA shitters are not the third party we need.  We lose with either D or GOP it seems.  But even ZHers don't get it with so much of the information pointing it out for them.

But you know there are repubs who'd let that shit happen again.  He could not have left the country so bad off unless he tried.  

And ya' think Ob is bad?  Not sayin' I like Ob but we haven't had any towers fall, still have the 2nd amendment.  But we've been losing the 1st and 4th under the last 5 presidents and Ob hasn't done anything about it.

You guys are blaming Obama for the wrong things, mostly shit that doesn't matter. I care more about my problems here at home than Iraq and Syrians. Let those people kill themselves. They don't need our help.

You actually think other countries think we're weak? How many other countries have cruise missiles and fleets of drones? That's stupid to think others think we're weak. Putin is a Putz scaring his neighbors. He ain't done shit. But you hear repubs admiring his strength! He fucking arrested girls for singing in a church! And those girls flipped him off.

Most people who post on this may own a gun, but don't seem to have any firsthand contact with military personnel. Rick Perry(the patriotic secessionist?) criticizes RP for wanting to stay out of war.

Bullshit, what "guys" are you talking about who are blaming Obama for the wrong things?  Obama bears a great responsibility for warmongering, military expansionism, and the continued implementation of the domestic police and secret surveillance state.  You say you care about your problems here at home: the spy state and militarized police forces are big problems -- government terror aimed at US citizens.

If Obama is a pawn, he is the big pawn that loves to sit at the control panel pushing all the buttons.

Why bring Putin into this?  Did Putin make Obama bomb Muslim weddings, occupy Afghanistan, and torture and imprison whistle-blowers after kangaroo court secret trials?

You on the other hand approach these issues as if the only solution is to vote for GOP. If so, you're brainwashed and do have selective memory. The GOP had the best opportunity in history with W and GOP Congress/House and Supremes, look what they gave us. The deficit was $1.7 trillion (yes, you must count the wars) we were losing 700,000 monthly jobs while Bush played with Barney and no end in sight for the wars, and no accountability. GOP does not govern.

Unfortunately, the closest thing to the reality you pointed described resides somewhere between Daily Beast and HuffPo(pre-AOL).  Someday these idiots who reside on this GOP standard bearer ZH will find that out and much like Columbus, proclaim they discovered America.

Not Obama.  He's a puppet.  He's worthless.  Its the puppetmaster that in control and calling the shots.

oddly enough (I did not vote for him) he has kept us out of Syria and Iraq). Who knows what is being said and done behind closed doors but on the war issue he is doing OK.."""

 

Lasvegaspersona,

Wrong Sir.

He was STOPED by the English people and the American People who have never wanted this war bullshit.

Remember the vote in England?

He is a New World Order puppet and will do as told.

Obama is ms-categorized by this piece, he is not some oblivious optimist. THIS WAS HIS ASSIGNMENT FROM THE BEGINNING, TO DESTROY THE USA AS WE ONCE KNEW IT. As soon as people can understand that fact, they will have a better grasp of our present situation.

He actually killed the hope thing personally. His rhetoric during the campaigh raised hopes that he and any rational person knew could not possibly be achieved  - in fact he had no intention of achieving any of them.

When it quickly fell apart, those who had latched onto the hope and change, were thrown into bitternes and cynicism.

It is hard to be optimistic about Washington when the President thinks it will cost 3.7 billion dollars to handle 52,000 children that have flooded to our southern border from countries like Guatemala, Honduras and El Salvador.

When doing the math this amounts to over $71,000 each. An American who has worked all their life and now lives on a monthly social security check of around  $1,000 a month the cost will most likely seem excessive. More on this subject in the article below.

Most ZH'ers take pride in thier cynicism but an cynicism of "the system" and  "Bush1,2, and the history of rino" are misplaced and non productive energy.  Why all the feigned defense of Obama with "Bush was bad"....and "It's the SYSTEM", "He's a tool"........Why keep harping that there is NO hope.  Obama has so dissillisioned America that we can't think there is a better way, a better ethos?  

Of course Obama is a tool.  A leftist tool.  He is happy to use the fed to enslave.  He doesn't have to raise taxes, just spend and put in on t he credit card.  Life is good, he is right, you are wrong, lets play golf.

If you can't understand why we are here and what happened it probably means you were stupid enough to vote for Obama or stayed home cause you had some sympathy for hopium and didn't know the difference between ideologies.  

Obama's crowning achievement is the destruction of faith in our own ability to govern.  We are in the twilight zone of leadership.  We need an adult, you think there is any Dem adults?  Then what's the options? Libretarian?  Maybe.  Then pitch for it.

I am an unabashed cynic when it comes to Obama.  My cynicism comes from all things Obama and leftist, not America and our entire system.  Granted we have some monumental problems, "fed,leviathon government" etc.

     I just have a healthy cynicism of all water carrying cynicism of the system which basically says.  OK, he's bad but don't vote R it will be the same.  So........you are basically saying we are stuck with this communist American hater.  Don't bother voting for anyone else or even thinking things could be better.  No thanks.

      Just say no to afro mative action presidencies.

It is not cynicism. It is reality. Do you believe we would be in a better place with Romney? I think not. Voting does not matter at this point. I am not saying it never had value or will never have value but, at this moment, there is absolutely no value what so ever in casting a vote. The SYSTEM is rigged and I refuse to participate it this. But, you are certainly welcome to continue the farce if it gives you some personal satisfaction.

When you realize there is a man behind the curtain you will start to ignore the Great Oz and understand the only thing you have is your own talents, resiliency in adversity, quality of friends/family and ability to survive in a multitude of scenarios. Everything else is a distraction.

Yeah, I voted Romney and McLame.  Both rino's.  If I had a better option I would have voted for another?  Take your ball and go home.  I'm cynical too, who wouldn''t be.  I just don't get carried away with it. You folk just don't realize your getting the kneegrow beatdown between your ears.  Screw him, I know the answer to his game.  Why don't you just see if you can live with the scraps or carve out a little niche in the empire.  Folks, I don't want Romney or Obama. I want something better.  I'm sure most here do too.  The no hopium no way meme..... Could it be a cetain amount of angst due hurt feelings just because rino Carl tried to shove rino mormon down your throat.  Try getting mad instead of hurt/disillusioned.  Dudes, this is the game the alinskites excell at.  They are in it for the long haul.
