mr. obama hasn't stopped the war in iraq, has not a single line of a plan to stop the war in iraq, and, in fact, his policy on iraq has become indistinguishable from cheney's which was all about oil, baby, oil ...
mr. obama has approved 12 more coal projects to remove mountain tops and dump them in rivers...how could this possibly be? it is anathema to everything we stand for as environmentalists, if not as real christian stewards of ''the earth and everything in it...''
and mr. obama did not put the single-payer option on the table in constructing a health care plan--it was never there...how could it not be even there? it was the total focus of his 'plan'...
he has done nothing for darfur, not even words that would clarify a single policy on that genocide, certainly nothing was done in the ''first 60 days" as promised, and it is looking doubtful that there will be any work in this area...which is appalling to me.
appalling.
in the great cause to work with the 'other side' it appears he has lost the very principles he said he stood for--we are not naive, we knew damn well he wasn't a progressive, but we didn't expect him to come out with his soul so nakedly sold to big business as usual...
it is almost too much to bear...this was the vote to change at least a few important fundamentals...but not even one has changed...not even one...
is this where we yield the u.s. of a. to the corporatists, sell everything we've got, join the peace corps and get on with the business of learning the beautiful mystery of suffering? are we there yet?
when does it finally reach the point where it matters, by God, and you get up and go do what you know is right and not just sit here and hope for the best? are you there yet?
i think i'm gettin' there sooner than i thought, by God...and i'm just about there.
