The next line is my absolute favorite,
"Join us in the fight to keep building a better, more prosperous America. Are you in?"
Are you in? Poverty?
Are you in? Foreclosure?
Are you in? An unemployment line?
Are you in? The military on your fourth tour?
Are you in? A panic trying to pay increased tuition?
Are you in? Desperation trying to keep your family together?
Are you in? The street?
"Join us in the fight to keep building a better, more prosperous America,"
Wages for American workers are flatter than a pancake and this "us" has offered only tax cuts to big business to correct the situation. This "us" program is the same as Herbert Hoover's and Ronald Reagan. This "us' is Sphinx silent on assistance for organized labor. This "us" created a commission to cut benefits for the poor and elderly and now this "us" wants you and I to help him?
Maybe you and I aren't included in his "us" at all; perhaps when he says "us" it is Newspeak for those who have profited under his administration. Maybe when he says "us" he means Lloyd Blankfein who just got his $19 million dollar bonus. Or "us" could be the BP executives who earned a bonus for safety or the executives at GE or the other Fortune five hundred companies working inside this White House. I bet this "us" is the new millionaires because it sure ain't me babe!
"President Obama is working every day to keep changing America - and while he focuses on the job he was elected to do,"
It all depends on what your definition of is, is. You couldn't squeeze the truth out of this bunch with a wine press. The truth's just not in them, a planned one billion dollar campaign based not on ideas but adjectives and platitudes, forward, better and prosperous. "Yeah but,"
Yeah but, if we don't support Mr. Obama (F*ck You!) in his campaign for his corporate reappointment then you'll get a miserable Republican alternative. If you don't help Jerry you'll get Tom. If you don't help Tweety you'll get Sylvester. Truly, a Republican alternative would be far worse than Mr. Obama the same as polio is worse than malaria but it is all part of the narrative. Over three hundred million Americans and our choices are Barack Obama or some barbaric Republican de jour and with a straight face they call this a representative democracy.
A medicine show where ideas are written out of the script and warm and fuzzy feelings and stagecraft are written in. Barack Obama and the Democratic Party plan to spend one billion dollars and the Republicans plan to spend a similar amount but not to win an election but to convince you that there is an election to win. The Republican's are more extreme than ever because they are supposed to be, it is all part of the script. To make the faithful come out and vote for Brother Coy one more time or the devil will takes us all to hell. To make you forget your embarrassment and shame at being taken in by a side show huckster.
