I know, I voted for him. What I voted for was not the man, but his campaign promises. Now it appears he is changing into Bush III. His continued and even enhanced Bush policies are starting to make me very afraid for this country, On the one hand he gives this wonderful speech about peace and harmony, while on the other hand he is hiring more Blackwater type private contractors for Afghanistan and Iraq. He says he'll have the military out of Iraq while manning a humongus embassy with private troops. How much will that cost us at 100K + per individual per year. He is continuing on with rendition and spending 600 million on expanding Bagram prison, the site of torture and abuse.
He has basically taken single payer out of the medical equation and allowed the Insurance and HMO corporations to rule on his medical plan. He gives eloquent speeches and then shuffles off to do more Bush type work. What the fuck. I realize it would be no better with McCain, but I certainly expected more from Obama, Maybe McCain would have even been better about prisoner abuses. I am getting real dissapointed with Obama. It is time to start holding his feet to the fire.
