Remember, collectively Americans get the government they deserve (or allow)!

Anyone feeling triangulated here?

Obama was completely for gay rights except for gay marriage when he wanted our votes. Now he won’t even sign an executive order suspending Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell and his staff stripped a lot of support statements for gay rights from the White House website until bloggers caught them.

Obama was in favor of releasing military abuse photos but now he is against that. He was against military tribunals for detainees but now he is for that.

Obama was in favor of restoring federal funding for stem cell research, but now there are reports that his funding may in some cases be even more restrictive than Bush was.

He has given billions upon billions of dollars of taxpayers’ money to the same corrupt CEOs and bankers which sunk our economy, allowing them to get big bonuses and throw extravagant parties until that came under the light of day.

So how is Barack Obama any different than a Republican?

Still, i must admit i’m not so sure this idea will work, but its much like Obama’s choices from campaign until now, and the reason i voted for him, he’s willing to try anything… although whether that’s good or not is still up in the air.

Obama looks worst then a democrat blue dog republican. He certainly talks like a blue dogs which follows Bush’s policies to the letter..

Obama has no intention of stopping the oil war in Iraq, renegotiating the free trade bill which is used to outsource American jobs, or lifting his finger to help American’s jobs , freedom or restoring their democracy , constitution , laws and putting “American workers” back on their feet..

Obama gave the auto dealers our tax money then told the auto dealer to partner up with fiat which will destroy our Unions.

Fiat (buys??) out Chrysler , “”without”" putting up any cash… Of course they use no cash Obama has used our tax money to pay for this..

Not to say the protection against prosecuting that Obama is given Bush and his criminal administration for their crimes and destruction to our country, while using their same criminal practices..

This pick doesn’t trouble me in the least, because of the way Superfund works. Superfund, passed in 1980, imposes retroactive liability upon companies and their corporate successors for acts of contamination that occurred prior to passage of the law, in some cases 100 years ago. Basically, hazardous waste disposal was unregulated or lightly regulated prior to 1976, when the companion federal law, the Resource Conservation Recovery Act, was enacted.

That means that most Superfund sites were created many years ago as a result of the customary waste disposal habits of all of industry and households. About twenty percent of the sites on the Superfund list are, in fact, landfills to which everyone’s industrial and household wastes were sent at the time. If those sites need to be cleaned up today because everyone was dumb back then, well, fine. But being identified as a potentially responsible party at a large number of sites doesn’t really mean one is an evil polluter. To a large degree, it’s merely a reflection of the age or size of a company, and the number of corporate acqusitions it has engaged in over the years. Indeed, the United States government probably deserves the title of world’s biggest polluter, because of DOD and DOE sites. G.E. is on a lot of Superfund lists because it is an old and big company that inherited a lot of Superfund liability, not because it is doing any intentional polluting today. Most Superfund sites are just fights about how cleanup costs get distributed among a roomful of large companies.

Finally, G.E.’s attack on parts of the law itself have been directed at a legal provision that EPA sometimes invokes unfairly and/or to shield its fellow federal agencies from liability. To make a long story short, EPA has authority to order cleanups. Those who contest such orders risk daily penalties and treble damages if they refuse. There’s no pre-enforcement judicial review, so the due process rights are limited. Further, EPA sometimes issues these orders at sites where the government itself is a lage contributor, and the orders don’t go to the federal agency polluter. That’s the unfairness G.E. has complained about, and rightly so.

Sorry for the long post and the legalese, but it helps for context.

On the other hand, Obama deserves to be lambasted mecilessly for his reversals on military tribunals, the state secrets privilege, and a whole host of civil liberties affronts that have been best chronicled by Glenn Greenwald and Scott Horton.
