American Power is not a mythical tale. it's not a story. it's not a transformational capability or capacity. it's not freedom. it's not a beacon of hope in this world. it is fucking ordnance.
how many multiples of 10 is Obama worse than WBush? I'd like to know. WBush wore the cloak of Myth that is American Power like a ten dollar suit; it did not fit him and he just looked bad in it. yes this is to accept that such a thing does fit a human being, but no this does not justify it. Obama is the full silk Italian suit, and he's pissed if it doesn't look good on him. people complained that WBush was a crony, that he was somehow a false leader, because he was just working for his pals at Halliburton and Enron, his daddy, the Saudis, etc. et al. ad. inf. look at the language that was put forth: WBush abused, misused and made a mockery of the power bestowed upon him. he wasn't cut for the throne, he was a hack, a C student at best who was a failed businessman that rode his family's coattails wherever they would take him. WBush was callous, a former drunk. he was a rank amateur dressed up in big people garb playing a big person part. well what's worse, that, or someone that fully believes in the rightness and necessity of American Power? someone that rightly fills the part? WBush used the power for his own devices, his own wars, his own debauchery, for his own constituency and his own people.
CHANGE.
Obama uses American Power because it is American Power. he doesn't need a reason, an excuse, because there is no justification for it, and that's all a Dear Leader needs to know. he's the worst - and by that I mean the biggest - purveyor of the falsehood that is American Power. I'll take the former WBush over the L-D Obama any day. when you embarrassed WBush, he looked a fool. when you took a peek under the cloak, he'd hide and grin sheepishly, covering his nuts with his scrawny, chicken-shit hands. Obama on the other hand gets pissed off and comes back at you for revealing his naked self. Obama is a worse purveyor of the mythology and singular teleology that is American Power and Primacy in this world, because he's a wholesale believer in it, and because he was popularly elected by a bunch of folks that want to believe in it, and that do believe in it. he's no skeptic of American Power. neither are his supporters. neither was WBush. but Obama is a worse leader because he wholeheartedly believes his own bullshit. WBush just thought it was a joke, like everything else: it was just a job, the best job he could get given his background, connections, and talents.
it's like your view of belief, Capn:
'Belief is, at its core, an emotional commitment to some claim or view.'
we have all this ordnance, now we must rationalize its very existence. we must now create the arguments for its existence, and its continued existence. hence the President and his Speechifying.
but it's just ordnance.
America may have saved those poor fucks (flaps arms) in that Libyan town that day, but honestly, America has only deflected the violence into other forms, and in other directions. people that want to kill each other want to kill each other.
what America is doing in that region in the first place, is all you need to know about American Intention.
Barry's doing his damnedest to spur the rahabilitation of Bush the Lesser.
Tell me again why we shouldn't choose political leaders by lottery? We couldn't do worse.
