19. I had an imaginary vision today- Obama's final presidential speech, to the people of the future
Fri May 9, 2014, 03:54 AM

In my little movie, Obama closed out his presidency with a fiery blockbuster speech to the people of the future.

He told the people to reflect on the conditions they see around them- drought, destruction, war, starvation, and calamity.

He laid out, in forceful and powerful terms, all the things Republicans did to create this dystopian future.

He laid out the sabotage, the betrayal, the treason and treachery, the lies and mendacity of the Republican world.

He laid the blame for the conditions of that future at their feet.

He itemized the efforts and proposals he and Democrats had made to change the hellbound course we were on.

And he made it clear, in no uncertain terms, that Republicans were to blame for the calamitous devastation that future populations endured.

You don't have to point out Obama this Democrats that "they're all complicit" millionaire congressmen kabuki theatre. I know all that

I'd still like to see Obama's "Speech to the Future" as a powerful, enduring, and historical document. A marker from a point in history.
