WHAT HAS OBAMA DONE?

Someone tried to point out all the postive things that Obama has done in the last two years.... and I asked myself "What has Obama done?"

1. Escalated the occupation of Afghanistan TWICE
2. Escalated the drone bombing of Pakistan to TEN TIMES the Bush level
3. Continued rendition
4. Continued torture
5. Continued secret prisons
6. Escalated the drone bombings of Yemen to THREE TIMES the Bush level
7. Followed the Bush SOFA to remove troops from occupied Iraq instead
of following his campaign promise to BRING THEM HOME a brigade a month
8. Increased the military budget
9. Continues selling arms around the world
10. No progress on Israel-Palestine issues
11. No closing of foreign military bases without opening new ones
12. No improvement in human rights records
13. Goes after the whistle blowers and leakers, while leaving the
war-mongers and torture enablers alone
14. Further deteriorated civil rights in the homeland
15. Expanded the number of foreign countries with special forces in
them from 60 (under Bush) to over 75.
16. Failed to correct the sources for the financial meltdown, and
failed to hold anyone accountable.
17. Made the financial crisis worse by kicking the can down the road,
while allowing the corrupt policies to continue.
18. Kept Guantanamo open
19. Started extra judicial assassinations, including Americans (so far, only in foreign countries, but just wait…..)
Not change I can believe in.

Yes, he has done a lot of nothing, and it is not looking good at all.....

Now Bush has a new book out, and he thinks that torturing people helped keep Americans safe.  I imagine one day Obama will justify his extra judicial assassinations in the same manner.

I WONDER WHY THEY HATE US???????  IT IS JUST SO DARN HARD TO FIGURE OUT!!!
