Ain't no Jesus in Snowtown, detective.
Пока американское правительство охотится за Сноуденом американское общество выдает такие количества баттхерта, как мы на последних выборах.
Например:
"
“Obama told reporters his government was “following all the appropriate legal channels working with various other countries to make sure the rule of law is observed.”
With each passing day “His Majesty” in The White House, digs himself into a deeper and deeper hole from which it is hard to believe he will ever be able to extricate himself.
One can only surmise that the POTUS is so totally disconnected from all reality beyond the windows of the Oval office that he does not even realize just how insane his positions and pronouncements strike the outside world, beyond the gates of the Rose garden.
Or perhaps his election to a second term has convinced “His Majesty” that in another life he was King Louis of France whose wife, Marie Antoinette, upon hearing that the people in Paris were starving, famously quipped:
“If they have no bread, let them eat cake”.
More and more, with each passing day, the real personality of the POTUS gradually begins to reveal itself to the Nation. And to the world.
How he takes it for granted that only he possesses the supreme and infinite wisdom to steer the Nation in the right direction. That only he knows what is best for the 99 %. That only he is infallible.
When he stares in the mirror in the morning does he see Napoleon or Adonis ?
But in truth he is neither, more is the pity for the POTUS.
And as time passes, we see him for what he really is and in fact, for what he always was. And it is not a pretty picture.
His every gesture, his “body language”, even the tone and timbre of his voice, begins to grate on people, like a piece of chalk being dragged across an old, cracked blackboard in a one room school house.
The POTUS appears not even to be aware that events have gradually, or actually not so gradually, pulled back the heavy dark curtain and allowed America to see him for what he is.
But as the most powerful human being on Earth, because he is the Commander-in-Chief of the world’s most powerful Military/Industrial Complex in history, he has tasted and become drunk with the knowledge that as the POTUS, he is the great “Decider”- a term Bush of Iraq “Shock and Awe” fame once used to describe himself.
And of course, surrounded by endless rows and circles of adoring White House “Yes” men and “Yes” women and of course all the usual White House flunkies, sycophants, climbers and “gofers”, he doubtless basks each and every day in the reassuring glow of his all-knowing “perfectness” of which he is no doubt duly reminded on an hourly basis by his trusted “advisors” and always adoring staff, who probably respond to his each and every request with the words:
“Yes-we can”.
He must feel truly worshipped at this point in his political journey as the POTUS. And who among all the people who surround him on a daily basis would ever presume, nay even dare, to suggest to the POTUS that he might need to rethink a position, such as the Edward Snowden situation.
No doubt the POTUS goes through the obligatory ritual of “seeking out and requesting” the advice of those who are duly paid to supply such services.
But can any sane individual, based on what we have witnessed in just the past few days, have any doubt that this is a POTUS who could not care less about the opinions of others.
His latest statements, corroborate what many have long suspected.
That he is in no way, “a man of the people”. He is strictly for himself and what he likely believes is his Manifest Destiny as POTUS.
For what it is worth, I voted for him, believed with all my Heart and Soul in him, worked my heart out for him as did so many others, to get him elected POTUS.
But as they used to say at the old Race Track betting parlors, back in the day, using the broken vernacular of the Brooklyn streets:
“You pays yer money and you takes yer chances.”
We really had no other choice at the time this all began in 2008.
Could any sane person have ever imagined for even a second allowing individuals like Senator John “bomb, bomb, bomb” McCain or his side-kick from Alaska, Ms. Palin, ever getting within fifty miles of the Oval Office and that phone, kept under lock and key, with the bright Red Button.
So in 2008 we could either vote for possible, even likely, Nuclear Armageddon or alternatively for what we thought and were promised, would be “Change” with a capital C.
Well, we did avoid immediate Nuclear Armageddon- at least for the moment.
But instead we got “1984″ and “Brave New World” all rolled into one.
And we got a POTUS who in the midst of the most horrendous “rape” and desecration of the United States Constitution, in the history of our Republic, could talk about the “Rule of Law”, with a straight face, as if he actually believed what he was saying as the words issued from his lips.
And that, dear reader, will become a tale for the Ages. "
