Meet the New War, Same as the Old War

32. President Obama needs to fire his entire team of

advisors, war mongers and those who have been bought and sold so many times before. I cringe every time anyone blurts out the claim of American exceptionalism. We are at the mercy of used car salesmen. There is nothing exceptional about buying that piece of junk.

"Our endless blessings bestow an enduring burden," said President Obama on Wednesday night, "but as Americans, we welcome our responsibility to lead."

Who is this "we," sir? You got a mouse in your pocket? I can only imagine the comforts that come with living in the White House, but for an enormous swath of the country you lead, the "blessings" you speak of turned to ashes in our mouths a long time ago. The money we are going to spend bombing the problems we caused by bombing the problems we bombed can be better spent creating jobs, repairing infrastructure, and educating our children to know better when a politician comes calling with platitudes about the excellence of the United States before announcing his intention to blow more stuff up.
