Bush Lite 1.0

I am not sure how long will people will carry on giving Barack Obama the benefit of a doubt? I mean I can understand the main stream media is quite happy to dance to the drums covering every inch of their wardrobe and how cute as a couple the Obamas are and that's because people are dumb enough not to look through the fog white meaningless noise and filter it out. Not a lot (if any!) is being reported about what Obama is actually doing on the ground which is so far not much different than George Bush! I would say he is a Bush Lite version 1.0! Yes, the language is considerably different but the outcome is pretty much the same. Look on what is going on internally and externally and tell me what's the difference. Domestically, he has given billions of Dollars to Wall Street and he is pulling together a very complicated health care "reform" bill that would make it even more complicated for ordinary citizens to understand and I'm sure with bunch of lobbyist around, this bill will be dis-armed of any real benefits to ordinary citizens. Internationally, he is pulling out the cities and will stay outside which in other words were the oil fields are to protect "American interests". On the Israeli-Palestinian front, he has done almost nothing different than what Bush was doing. To give you an example, in his Cairo speech a few weeks ago, Obama said "the US does not accept the legitimacy of continued Israeli settlements", note the work "continued" which means what happened so far is good and you can keep but future ones will not be considered legit. So if the Israelis want to play along and show some good will, they will now simply issue building permits of a finished building for the future settlements that are planned and in a few years time will build these! that's it. Business as usual folks!
