It's Christmas Eve, and Barack Obama falls asleep in his cozy White House bed.
Soon he is visited in his dream by the Ghost of Christmas Past, who takes Obama back in time to Christmas 1940, where he sees the positive effects of President Franklin Roosevelt's New Deal. Taxes had been raised on the rich, and the government had spent money on programs to create jobs and advance labor rights. And it was working. The U.S. economy was rising out of the Great Depression. Obama awakens and mumbles something about how FDR should have spent more time courting the Republicans who opposed his policies.
He falls back to sleep and is visited by the ghost of Christmas Present, who shows shows Obama all the hungry children -- not in Africa, but right here in the richest nation on earth. Obama is forced to look at the fact that some 20 percent of American children are now living in poverty, with little hope that their parents will find good jobs in this economy. Obama awakens and mumbles something about how the extended tax cuts for the wealthy will really begin to trickle down this time.
He falls back to sleep and is visited by the ghost of Christmas Yet to Come, who shows Obama a scene from Christmas 2012 in Wasilla, Alaska, where President-Elect Sarah Palin is celebrating with her family. Will he wake up and save us all from this nightmare? Or will he have some other excuse?
People should understand the double standards of Obama. He is just another carbon copy of G.W. Bush, in full conscious recognition & support of this sort of subversive and criminal behavior. Just remember that Obama is a republican in sheep's clothing and the next 2 years will go easier for you.
