(245 posts)that aren't a continuation of stagnation. Like most here I listen to Thom Hartmann and Democracy Now every day, I don't remember hearing anything.
as Thom has stated many time before, Obama isn't a liberal, his administration has been center right the whole time, he's as far right as Reagan was. he whole reason I wen to work for him instead of the Green party is because at least he's not as bad as Romney, McCain or Paul. But voting for 3rd parties, especially in a battleground state like Wisconsin is just giving away the victory to the Republicans because our political system is broken by design to only ever allow 2 parties.
Oh, and with Obama's expanded surveillance program going after companies like Yahoo and Microsoft to violate the sovereignty of servers in there countries to the point of literally stating that all servers in the world fall under US jurisdiction, he's about to go down as the president that killed the American tech sector. http://yro.slashdot.org/story/14/08/30/220255/microsoft-defies-court-order-will-not-give-emails-to-us-government
Yahoo has already lost their court battle from the blurb I heard on my way out the door today, if Microsoft loses then thats more precedent to use a a bludgeon against Apple, Google and every other US based tech company to go down like Cisco already has. Every other nation on earth will no loner feel safe using any US made tech, with China, Russia and the EU already looking into building their own tech industries, by looking to have their own CPU designs and operating systems now because the world is fed up with the US government spying on everyone and everything.
But go ahead keep telling yourself everything is going to be A-OK...
