(2,720 posts)Claiming that Presidential figures are "owned by" pieces of pavement is poetic license on your part. The problem is that poetry often has very little to do with reality.
I strongly suspect that when you state that those you listed are "owned by Wall St.", you really mean just that they deal with them in a relatively cordial manner, while at the same time arguing for more effective financial reform. Meanwhile, some billionaires are equally as disassociated from reality as you are by whining that they feel like Jews under the Nazis.
As far as drone strikes are concerned, do you realize just how absurd this sounds in light of your lauding of FDR and Truman? Just the firebombing of Tokyo alone took one hundred thousand lives, basically all of them civilian. Meanwhile, drone strikes have the lowest civilian casualty ratio of all forms of war, resulting in less than 2,000 deaths over a ten year period.
Let me reiterate that for you. The combined deaths from all drone strikes, largely being militants, is 2000 people - much less than the Margin of Error from ONE attack while the President you love was in office.
Please understand that I'm not actually attacking FDR or Truman over this. I am convinced that Hirohito, who bore most of the responsibility for making Japan such a villain in the earth 20th century, would have never surrendered if we hadn't done what we did. Dropping the A-bombs, in particular (along with lying to them that we had hundreds more of these weapons ready to go) was the only thing that ended WW2 as mercifully as it did.
I'm just pointing out how much of a hypocrite you are in shitting on Obama while you laud people who were a thousand times more ruthless.
