Welcome to Gaia! ::

Like the title stated, what are your views on our new president, Barack Obama? Do you think he can do something great? Do you not agree with most he says? Let me know. I want to hear your opinion.

I think he's an excellent example of our governments unableness or unwillingness to run our country via a democratic means.

All he does is cater and pander to the capitalist rich fat cats that basically own the government as it is.

The majority of the nations we've attacked/warred with over the last 50-100 years? Nations we destroyed the government of, resistant or not, and subplanted with a puppet government to give us resources for next to nothing, their people being starved to death so that our capitalist society could produce more s**t people won't buy. Somehow, in our society, even without buyers, money is made. I don't get how this works, or where this money comes from, and I don't really care. I'm tired of our government allowing the wealthy to not only exploit it's own citizens but the entire nations of the world. It's bullshit and must be stopped.

I say down with the puppet of the "executive branch", more like a speaker to lull Americans into a sense of subservience so we stop talking socialist talks and continue to work for no REAL purpose, let alone a s**t wage.

Presidents have never done anything. It's not their place TO do anything. They make speeches and lull us into the fighting spirit or into a false sense of security, but never actually DO anything.
