Wake up America..... Hope is not working

Obama's first state of the Union address was more of the same Posturing that we have come to expect from our Government. As Noam Chomsky aptly put it "Well, one doesn’t expect to get much content from a State of the Union address, and there wasn’t very much. But that’s normal."

Perhaps most revealing is the Double speak about freezing government spending, revealing the true goals of this administrations works. Again Noam Chomsky discusses the freeze and how it reveals the USA real addenda.... More money to be spent not on at home problems but weaponry and more war implementation....
"On freezing government spending, it’s not—it’s certainly not—it’s partially, but not totally, in accord with the public will. So, in fact, the recent, most recent poll I’ve seen by Pew on people’s priorities, the highest for increase in spending, by far the highest, over two-thirds was for education. Well, that’s being frozen. The next was veterans’ benefits; that’s frozen. Next is healthcare, which is partially frozen. Environmental protection, not there. Energy, not there. When you get down to about, I think it’s eleventh or so, you get the military defense, which is increasing—call it “defense.” Anti terrorism defense is thirteenth; that’s increasing. So, by and large, the priorities are, I wouldn’t say the opposite of, but not consistent with the spending block."

Several days after the Presidents address of the Nation the following an excerpt from Democracy Now shows the double speak clearly....
"As part a record $3.8 trillion budget proposal, the Obama administration is asking Congress to increase spending on the US nuclear arsenal by more than $7 billion dollars over the next five years. Obama is seeking the extra money despite a pledge to cut the US arsenal and seek a nuclear weapons-free world. The proposal includes large funding increases for a new plutonium production facility in Los Alamos, New Mexico."

More of the same Double talk .... Democracy Now reported on the Obama's Posturing to even the UN.....
"The UN Security Council has unanimously passed a US-drafted resolution aimed at shoring up the international commitment to limiting the spread of nuclear weapons. But critics say it failed to include mandatory provisions that would have required nuclear states to take concrete disarmament steps."
How this Obama and administration can talk crap..... Nobel Peace Prize my ASS!

And while we are on it how is Obama's war doing? Well more of the same torture camps... drone bombings of civilians, and in general more spending on military scare tactics on innocent populations....few Americans seem to care though, just as with Iraq its kept from the public, and hell we have to worry about our jobs here....
