Obama originally won on Hope and Change.
At the time polls repeatedly showed that the vast majority of Americans were sick of our wars, sick of corrupt business control of government, sick of the lack of basic medical care, sick of the lack of a meaningful safety net for those in need and, most of all, sick of the erosion of civil rights and liberties under Bush.
Obama could have been one of our nation's most statuesque presidents. He chose, instead, to extend the abuses of his predecessor and has sealed his place for all time as among those who have done the most to destroy the basic civil liberties which underpin a democratic society.
Obama chose to destroy Hope by failing to deliver Change.
Our nation has degenerated into a surveillance society in which most of us have no meaningful role other than to provide money for the 0.01%. We are kept in line and obedient by a program of fear, fear manufactured and promulgated by our government for no purpose other than to frighten us into giving up our few remaining rights.
