Oh, OK. So he's the best of an extremely degenerate bunch, then? :-D.Posted by JoshERTW (here)
I think the guy had good intentions when he got into office, and I still think he does - but I believe the system itself is so corrupt that even the so called "top" guy has very little power to elicit change. He did strike down the bill to allow banks to reposess houses they couldn't prove they held mortgages to, he has tried to implement some form of universal health care, albeit fairly scaled down, it certainly did help some people (I realize this is a contentious topic, but living in a country that has it, I would hate to have anything less).
What I'm trying to get at here, is he's not the most evil person in the world - I'm not claiming he's a saint either but I think the energy that the conspiracy movement is pouring into discrediting the guy is a bit of a waste - as you said, he's just a puppet - people would be better to focus on trying to expose the real men behind the curtain. Wasting energy on smearing Obama is just playing into their hands. Think of the alternative: McCain/Palin?
Would that be "better?" I can't see how it would. Is he worse than Bush/Cheney? I would certainly disagree with anyone who says he is. When I use the word decent, I am comparing him to the alternatives.
Personally, I don't think his behaviour has been decent at all. He's sold himself, for whatever reason. His actions have and are going to continue to harm his fellow man and play along with financially destroying the country.
Decent isn't a word I would use in regard to Obama.
IMO - if he were decent - he would come out with the truth, or he would step down from his position of puppet power.
What is evil? This could be the guy who drives the nail in the coffin of the free world.
When you think about what that entails - his doings could most certainly be put up there with the most evil actions of mankind.
This isn't meant to be any kind of Obama hate speech, I'm just dispassionatley stating things as I see them.
