Putin and Assad are trying save Assad's ass. That is not having an upperhand

31. Amazing!!

It never ceases to amaze me how the American public allows corrupt politicians and a media controlled by corporate interests to set their agenda.

We're in the midst of the largest income gap between the very wealthy and the middle-class in history and we're talking about spending millions maybe billions of dollars trying to control the Middle East. Think about it, are we going to benefit from getting involved in yet another war? Are you happy that your kids will still be paying for Iraq and Afghanistan after you're dead? They'll surely benefit from the $600 million embassy Bush built in Iraq!!!

Have we gotten to the point where we've forgotten our leaders are supposed to be representing our interests??? We're being told we're going to have to cut Social Security because we're broke but we need to pour more resources into another Middle East country??

Ooooh Putin has an agenda, we can't let Putin's dick look bigger than Obama's! Of course Putin wants to save Assad's ass. Just as we want to save House Of Saud's fat monarchy ass! And what f-ing difference is that going to mean here on Main Street?

Are Americans are so distracted and easy to manipulate they've lost touch with the fact that they're interests aren't being represented anymore.
