Yup.

The digital age is being called the age of secrets.At least in the past a piece of paper was passed around and people signed it and it left a trail.Now things disappear at the push of a button.

Also, Trump, who is not yet a war criminal, talks about “nuking” ISIS and the media go ape. The accomplished blood soaked war criminal Barack Hussein Obama puts $1 trillion to develop mini-nukes which his uniformed thugs, er, generals, say can be “thinkably” used against Russia, and the media is deafeningly silent.

Actually some things may disappear with the push of a button but the plus side is a lot of the bad behaviour is immortalized in smart phone videos. It used to be one person’s word against another but a video is really hard to deny or ignore. Also, when a button is pushed to make things go away, often times they have escaped to the Internet and they often resurface to haunt people.

I’m a Leftist Liberal Socialist and a registered Democrat but I have to concede that this ’toon has a point.

Agree with Flash Gordon but is Obama much different than his predeceasers George I, and Bill and George II, and their predecessors going back to our 2nd president John Adams and the Alien and Sedition Acts.

As to @Friendly Neighborhood.. This most recent mess of a mesopotmia was started by George W. (“mission accomplished”) Bush. Obama has at least gone a long way to decreasing our involvement in Iraq.

Obama has been better than just about any recent president, but I keep thinking of what he should be doing differently. It really seems that being President changes a person. Maybe on the first day they’re in office, the CIA comes and tells them about Cthulhu or something.

Obama had to take on an unfair amount of crap. He has been very measured in his actions. All presidents have issues. They are human beings. He has done better than most. I can’t vote for someone who doesn’t at least start out with a reasonable plan, even if obstacles won’t allow it in the end.

And this is where we need to be uncivil and question authority, especially when a government can not act according to the laws that it set way back when the Constitution was adopted and ratified.We need a government that needs to be afraid of the people, not a government that the people are afraid of.

It will be interesting to see how historians view Obama’s reign come 30 years from now.

Bush/Cheney rejected far more FOIA filings of substance. I’ve seen some of those requests filed against Obama administration by “right wingers”, and ludicrous would be the kindest way. Typical is asking for about 50,000 pages of nonsense documentation, when they should be asking for a single page document. There ARE limits on what FOIA allows, and while I too find the Obama administration too “secretive” and punishing of whistle blowers, it’s nothing compared to Bush, Bush, Reagan, like well, the known knowns of WMD frauds and wars.

I really believe that in thirty years, Obama will be deemed to have been as high quality a president as Carter was. Not quite, but close. (Sarcasm).

Obama has just continued to expand the policies of past presidents. It is shameful what they do to whistle blowers. He promised open government but did not deliver. He went the other way. What do you expect from a President that gave us a Republican 20 year old plan for health insurance. .The government over classifies documents as secrets. .On this issue Bernie is our best bet.

The liberals think Obama is not liberal enough and the conservatives think he’s a liberal. This is without doubt the mark of a good President since her job is to represent the best she can (using the future tense here) the interests of all the people and the widely diverse constituencies in a very complex country. The President is not in office to represent any ideology but to find practical compromises and workable solutions between the disparate, sometimes desperate elements involved in the real world. America began with compromises between the polar elements and in reality nobody is usually completely satisfied with the results but lives with them. This is reality. Anything else is fantasy.

Matt seems especially eager to do some Obama bashing today!
