He, like Bush, is squandering our resources on war and violence and, no matter what his words are, his actions and policies are what matters. Unfortunately, "Yes We Can" has morphed into "But, No, We Won't".

He no doubt gives a great speech that arouses all of the right emotions and the right hopes and the right ideals.  His Cairo speech certainly did that for millions of people.  But later, upon reflection and gathering of facts, my disappointment and anger toward him grows because it is all smoke and mirrors.  The violent policies continue, probably some forms of torture are continuing, prisoners are still being held without trial and many of the crimes and abuses of the Bush years are continuing, such as the immoral privatization of war and the lies and disconnect between words and action. The government continues to act like a government of the wealthiest, for the wealthiest, by the wealthiest.  Obama is putting an articulate, friendly, intelligent face on what are essentially failed and barbaric policies that continue to kill many innocent people.</blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/948BB1BF-473C-4170-8F26-FBAEA6DD09C9/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content7.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
