In this Age of Catastrophic Distraction--We Can See the Symptoms in the News...

Sometimes a story online will simply draw out the angst and frustration many Americans feel because of its oversimplistic and simple-minded reasoning in the ongoing attacks towards our President. I allow myself this rant today in defiance of the false arguments choking the electric lines of communication. See the article that set me off today: http://news.yahoo.com/obama-administration-under-siege-3-huge-scandals-why-130208768.html

UPDATE: You may as well see this article too, it is just as relevent as the above. Attacks on the President's Administration looks like it was orchestrated by complete blockheads filled with hate and a false impression of their own worth! http://www.forbes.com/sites/rickungar/2013/05/14/cnn-blows-huge-hole-in-gop-efforts-to-prosecute-benghazi-scandal/

This article is a Chicken Little "the sky is falling" bullshit attempt to act like Obama is personally responsible for every single thing that happens, whether or not it does, or only looks like it does, painted with the wide brush-strokes of sell-out, self-interested sources. Americans watch as the media is raping the minds of the public with fallacy, grotesque misinformation, hate-mongering and bloody finger-pointing at the President.

Hunkering down in the not-too-distant past are stories about George W. Bush's many abuses of power and irresponsibility to Presidential duties as if his crimes were cute little Walt Disney stories, despite the number of deaths caused by his lying, yet convenient, weapons of mass destruction myths. Media still sweeps under the rug the wide range of contradictory information regarding the 9/11 events, the records including W reading his cute little goat story without seeming like he really understood what was going on. Georgie didn't understand global warming/climate change so, of course, it was not real during the Bush regime, coincidentally benefitting big business and industry while bruising or gutting responsible regulations.

The Patriot Act stomped on more Constitutional rights than can be clearly even understood in one or more sittings based on the continued unfolding of its devastating impacts. The “Did You Know” list is one to weep over at many levels. Not so incredibly, the No Child Left Behind swept more children into the cracks of ignorance and invisibility in the educational process than can ever be said to have happened in this country before.

If we are going to talk about REAL news, we have to quit playing "outta sight outta mind" with GWB (and Anti-Christ candidate DICK Chaney). American’s attention span is bending and flexing like the heaves of mental vomiting in a state of overwhelm from the distractions generated by our bought-and-paid for sell-out conserve news sources. Objectivity would at least recognize huge progress Barack Obama’s administration has made right-up-to the point of GOP filibusters, Koch Brothers’ glutted hoard of ill-gotten –gain and wicked gold rivers being poured into demonizing this administration.

The continued poison of racial hating, gay hating, woman hating, immigrant America hating, and Barack Obama hating is like a shadow creeping out of hell to infect people’s thinking and is being fanned back into huge flames confusion, fear and sprouts out of historical seeds of WASP superiority through capitalist schism of resource concentration among the few…the 1%!

One of the REAL problems of freedom of speech rights is the REAL abuse of it by self-interested media kingdoms and moguls who try to buy up news sources to twist out an endless stream of corrupt ideas, slanted reporting, and to stomp, pervert and overrun anything to the contrary of their dark and twisted designs. (Koch Brothers, Rush Limbaugh, FOX News…)

You can fool some of the people some of the time, even many people many times, but the truth is still buried in the muck of partisan politics, the voracious appetite of exploitive capitalism, and social-stratifications that were also (unfortunately) built into America’s darkest tapestries a long time ago.

I support Barack Obama.
