I'm a small (read itty bitty) maker (manufacturer). I heard nothing new in the President's speech last night that makes me think my country backs my maker ideals and values nor will it ever persuade the banking industry here in the USA to give me any kind of assistance in solidifying or building ... they think better to leave me to my own 'devices' or have my creative business strengths adrift in a fiscal sea of venture capitalism that will surely give me a 'living' / after gutting my making into whatever profiteering mass production and quality standard knock down for cheap will achieve. They are sharks. And this fraud in the White House supports that business model. Make no mistake, Obama is a Goldman Sachs boy. I represent the REAL / ACTUAL 'mom & pop' main street merchants and makers who are the strength of a community and the support of the larger (integrity abiding) industry therein. I've a secured / through consistent sales and standard of product / a customer list that slowly grows (OH so slowly) all through one of the worst Depressions since the last century. He touted dirty coal, fracking for 'natural' gas, more drill baby drill and lets see, did he leave out anything that is guaranteed to extinguish the species within a next generation? He pretty well kissed their collective big oil, big energy, destroy the environment asses. He should, they filled his election war chest. Along with Goldman Sachs. What a mouthful; "reclaim American values"... which are those? The brutality on those would stand up and be counted among those redressing the government for answers and account of their wreckage? Asking for accountability from this President is an errand we are opting to take... listen again for the sound of our feet coming this Spring! This guy signed NDAA on New Years' eve! You think there is no accountability in the offing coming up his campaigning ass come Spring? Hide and watch.
He's using shades of gray to get where he needs to be to fool folks into believing him... or choosing him the less of two evils. He touts millions in increase in jobs levels... he neglects to extend the truth in that fact; they were seasonal jobs that have since begun to evaporate. There are over 45 million Americans living at the poverty level in this country. I am one. Are you? The American workers who have attained jobs are working for much less than they used to... the middle class was drone-ed in the deal to keep automotive industry in the US. This 'great Obama save' came at the cost of labor wages and benefits. And the GOP was too stupid to acknowledge it! This is the caliber of intelligence in Washington. While some may have been excessive, the majority of those wages and benefits were the hull to the ship of industry and community in making a middle class. And he still expects you to pay up or go to jail for health care in the next two years. There were smoke and mirrors all through Obama's speech... he lied to get elected, he capitulates happily or lies to achieve anything in office and he's lying to stay in that office. The powers that be, ie: WALL FUCKING STREET FOR ANY POOR SAP WHO'S NOT GETTING THAT YET, are just as happy with him as they pretty much have been all the Presidents since Reagan. Can we get a happy pappy BOO YAH here in the cheap seats?
He lied about Iraq... and he prostituted the military! They absolutely kicked us the hell outa town in Iraq! He basked in a glow of violent corruptions! The flag carried by the SEALS who killed Osma bin Laden? That's his treasure after 4 years in office?!? An open war monger? Drone director? I have friends in Pakistan and Afghanistan! I am appalled at the murder (collateral damage) committed in my name. With the money I pay in taxes! That IS NOT WHAT DEMOCRACY LOOKS LIKE. All so Obama can ride some fence of yes I support the arrogance of the Knesset / Israeli government old fucks that the majority of the Israeli People do not (btw). Is he looking for the 'educated' Indy vote? Hey, newsflash: they all kind of still stick him in a "but I wouldn't want my daughter to marry one", "not for my President" category, don't they? The only constituency that really ever would open their minds' to this President and is very one that put him in the oval office and he's done nothing more than piss on us like the corpses on the ground in Afghanistan, ala US Marine troops emulating X mercs our tax dollars pay for. Are you following me here? He uses the military as a campaign tool and 18 over used / abused among the throngs of homeless and jobless vets from THE LAST 11 YEARS OF NON STOP PROFITEERING FOR HALI BURTON, RAYTHEON, X, WACKENHUT, CHEVRON-EXXON-MOBIL-BP-SHELL, ETC. CORPORATIONS commit suicide every goddamned day in my country??? It's an outrageous hubris!
In his SOU speech the President spoke nothing of preserving the sanctity of life on the planet in community with all other countries...no. He spoke about the "opportunities for prosperity" = profiteering corporations to further despoil the planet and gear up to keep the hot smoking war machine on the ready for industry productivity and 'jobs plans'. He cares not at all for the environment. On October 28, 2011 we reached Ahau 13 of the long count haab in the Maya calendar, T'zolkin. On winter solstice, December 21st, 2012, we will achieve an astrological alignment that happens only once every 26,000 years... when our life giver, the sun aligns directly with the heart of heaven, the black hole center of the galaxy. Our solar system has traveled through each of the constellation neighbors of the galaxy. Each constellation has represented an 'age' or 'era' to the known history of our species. We have come to the moment that our Ancestors saw with their very responsive and responsible cosmic vision, a place of planetary evolution. So, we are done with a time of 'belief' ... aka the Age of Pieces. We are breaking in to the time of personal, authentic knowledge / experience... aka the Age of Aquarius. We are being asked to OCCUPY our Home with the cosmic vision of our Ancestors.
Obama took no responsibility for the brutality used in nationally organized force with metropolitan majors and police agencies together with Homeland Security's guidance and arsenal against OCCUPIERS. He just yoked the force and abiding service of our OWS message through innuendo. He has nothing more than outrageous hubris? We are the standard setters, the teachers of the future. Whom else is there? The question to ask: if not me, then WHO? If not Now, when?

This is beautiful,Gwen. It's classic Blender, classic 'stick up for the poor/working class and fuck what everybody thinks'.
Couldn't agree more, I enjoyed the post and am filled with pain at the suffering of the animals. Somehow that hits me most.
Wonderful work. Be well.
Ta Oso. It is back to basics for me, huh? Bitch bitch bitch... I do get out there and stomp for it too, tho. LOL There are strange things going on... I think it's all to do with solstice alignment ... so close to such heavy heavy cosmic influences. Ah, well. Obama is just more an more an oligarch's tool. Ain't he?
Basically, I've removed a couple of 'stalker' comments, here. Some folks have nothing more...
