Obama and George W. are on the same path

Former President George W. Bush and current President Obama both enjoyed playing golf, dining in the finest settings all over the world, having a private staff and Air Force One to meet their every want and being the most powerful person in the world. Each involved himself in a war: Bush- Iran, Obama- Afghanistan. The Bush administration would not close Gitmo or reveal White House visiting logs and Obama's has decided to do the same.

Most Americans perceived President Bush as a bumbling speaker. The people on the political right initially thought he was a down-to-earth Texan who believed in traditional moral values. He pretended to be a free market conservative who believed in Americans being the best competitive workers in the world.

The left thought he was a sinister leader attempting to squash any opposition to a US empire. They deeply believed he was not intelligent and a parochial man who was a puppet to a right wing conspiracy ready to exploit other nations for the benefit of America.

Both the left and the right were wrong. G.W. Bush proved himself to be a big government advocate who passed "No Child Left Behind" and a very expansive and costly Medicare drug option. He wanted to gently move us towards a global economy. Many liberal administrative and ex-corporate executives staffed his second term. The staff assisted him in executing a softer policy and a too-big-to-fail TARP bailout. He stated, in conjunction with President elect Obama, he had to act immediately to stave off financial collapse by suspending capitalism. He is a global internationalist who attempted to use his world, political and corporate friendships to forge a world order based on money, not on national interest.

President Obama, not having these political and corporate family relationships is applying a different tactic to reach a similar goal. He is taking control of the US corporations to reorganize the United States down to the level of the rest of the world. By redistributing our assets and technology to other more underprivileged countries a more peaceful and fairer world with greater opportunities will be established for all world citizens.

President Obama is appearing to create a climate of good will with his adversaries. It does not matter that there are no substantive policy changes. Although he has made monetary pledges to foreign countries, his primary method to develop a more peaceful and harmonious existence for all nations is by persuading the multitudes about great changes to come in cultural and religious thought.

An editor of Newsweek, Evan Thomas, sums up his appeal. "I mean, in a way Obama stands above the country- above the world. He is sort of a god."

Obama took the baton from Bush with a burst towards an autocratic government controlled corporate empire and the burial of capitalism. He pushed his "anti-stimulus, reorganization" of America. This unread, $780 billion package has led to the transferring of billions of dollars to assist IMF, foreign financial institutions and nationalize some of our financial, insurance institutions and the auto industry. Chrysler has been outsourced with billions of our dollars to Fiat of Italy. The UFW was paid back for its campaign assistance and donations by becoming being major owners of auto companies.

Chrysler and GMC dealerships were dictatorially closed without any transparent criteria. These local dealerships received no compensation for decades of their blood, sweat and tears. The $780 billion (anti stimulus money) is being used as a political slush fund to pay back favors and quickly organize a shadow government. It is not being used as a means of job creation as stated.

The modus operandi of this administration is to override the constitution by appointing czars/dictators without congressional consent, decreeing major policies into law without congress deliberating, intimidating citizens to take pathetic offers they "cannot refuse." All of these changes are creating crisis and chaos in the hearts of Americans.

In the last electoral cycle European nations were moving away from socialism, America is speeding towards nationalizing industries. The transformation of the US into a centrally controlled government-corporate state has been noted by the infamous Russian government controlled newspaper, Pravda on April 27. The paper stated that America has a substandard education based on pop culture not on academic knowledge and skills. This disastrous educational system has weakened America's rugged individualism creating "sheeple" who are accepting without a fight the losing of freedoms and the imposing of Marxist governmental policies on our country.

Former President Bush's strategy was to blend into a global world order not to maintain America's exceptionalism. He understood that NAFTA, SPP (Security and Prosperity Partnership created in 2005 to form the North American Union) and amnesty are ways to undermine our sovereignty. Using this gradual step-by-step process our nationhood and constitution would be surgically dismantled.

President Obama has taken a different tactic. Instead of doing it piecemeal his approach is to make a frontal assault on capitalism and the American way. Everyday there is a different crisis he generates as an opportunity to make radical changes, to redistribute Americana's wealth and form a "new world disorder," with him as the new leader/statesman of all the world.

The difference between Bush and Obama is Bush was decaf coffee and Obama is super espresso but both are coffee.
