Barack Obama gives a state of the union speech -- calling for "a year of action" in restoring the dream of upward mobility. He could instead talk of 5 years of inaction, accelerating inequality by alternately sitting on his hands paralyzed with fear at the thought of actually making a single bank take the consequences of their criminal fraud, as Bill Black can inform you, or making matters much worse, stating " I am very good at killing people" as each week he decides who will be assassinated from robots flying over poor far away countries.

President Obama, I am sorry but a great man once said "What you are shouts so loudly at me that I cannot hear what you are saying." You are partially redeemable as President but the road of action will have to be well trod upon before one can feel anything other than suspicion of stark political manipulation.

The speech smells of posturing, of setting the table for a quick set of political moves to strengthen his power base, the Democratic Party through faint hearted attempts at righting the wrongs of a country stripped of its assets by the billionaires that fund both parties.

Is their anything more disgusting than manipulating the poor and the nations deep unease about becoming a giant banana republic for personal political gain. A giant banana republic we are, the US now leads the world in wealth inequality, especially when looking at momentum.

Barack Obama, a man able to run political campaigns, but unable to actually lead once in office. It is a sad spectacle. Apologizing for a secret government that has run amok, turning us into self-censoring paranoids. Comparing actions of a totalitarian national security to Paul Revere. Was he reading Ronald Reagans speech about the killers we trained in Nicaragua called the "contra's" that is the counter revolutionaries, as the "moral equivalent of our founding fathers". The vast majority of scholars and history buffs steeped in the American Revolution of Lockian propositions of the natural right of man and the enlightenment were baffled and outraged by such a comparison. Didn't Paul Revere seek to end tyranny?  And if you go back to the declaration of independence, I think you would find we have much greater cause today to demand a severing of ties with Washington D.C. than the founders had severing ties with London, England. This security state he has lamely defended is a vast monstrosity. Millions of people have top secret clearances. The majority of it is privatized. Reading the leaked emails of Stratfor and HB Gary, we learn of their plots to plant false information to destroy journalists and activists, of offers to charge the chamber of commerce 100,000 a month to sell top secret government information to private corporations to destroy their enemies. Of course the people who exposed these horrors or even linked to exposing these horrors now sit in prisons. In the case of Barrett Brown, facing 98 years for posting a link. The Judges husband was a client of Stratfor, yet the judge does not recuse herself, quite happy to destroy the soul and break the will of one of the few truly interesting and brash journalists in the spirit of Hunter S Thompson and William S Burroughs. Let us destroy him. The surveillance state being largely privatized suits those in Government brilliantly. As they award these companies huge contracts, and then go to work for them lining their pockets, and then return to government to award them more huge contracts, and then back through the revolving door. It is the real tragedy and crime that has sped our way to a large banana republic. The foxes plundering the hen house. And when Obama is not massaging the bankers and defending totalitarian surveillance, he is channeling Bush, invading Libya, murdering Pakistanis by the bushel, where the US is now the most hated country in the world according to a recent poll.

Michelle Obama comes to California to help fight poverty apparently. But no poor are allowed, the minimum price to listen to her pleas to fight poverty is 10,000 a seat. She says "Write as big a check as you can" -- to rich people -- not poor people or charitable institutions -- no the tune is set "wealth inequality' that will be the music to keep Michelle and Barack as major power brokers -- handing the reigns to others.  It is simply the musical score for attempting to return a powerful blue oligarchy to power. No discomfort will be inflicted on the wealthy and well connected.
