Actually he's NOT.

He seeks to diversify business and hold down the corporate takeover that leads
to fascism.

In any case Barack Hussein Obama leads but does NOT make the law.

Obama has carefully followed the direction of the United States
Constitution and left the making of laws to the Congress which is
rather understandable given he's a constitutional scholar.

In fact there's absolutely no reason to call the recent passage of
health care Obamacare as he had nothing to do with the
crafting of that legislation, only forfilling his campaign 
promise of passing universal health care.    


I thought it a real hoot when the tea baggers showed up
to protest taxes when Obama led the way for the legislature to
CUT taxes for 95 percent of American, a step in the right direction towards
improving the economy.

Then too I found it absolutely HYSTERICAL when the pro-gun right fanatics
gathered
in a federal park in Virginia to protest Obama taking away their gun rights
when in fact had not Obama signed into law the right to carry in national
parks they all could have been arrested.

The news media for the greatest part in this country is NOT in the business 
of informing the public.

Just sensationalism, entertainment and yellow journalism.

An example of GOOD journalism was provided by Bill Moyers "Selling the War"
where I was very gratified to see that program focus a great deal of
attention on Knight Ridder news and their quite accurate assesment of the WMD 
threat posed by Iraq before the war.

I called it correctly BEFORE the start of that war and my source for that
correct call was Knight Ridder as well as some members of the CIA and first
months
certain cabinet members of the early Bush administration.

The date on Moyers "Selling the War", unfortunately 2005 and thus
rather too
late.

I just got around to watching it on pbs.org a few days back.

However it IS the reason I employ great diversity in the news sites
I visit.

Even Fox News and Al Jazeera are there however bookmarked under blogs.

FWIW I consider them both about equally inaccurate 
though the latter has persuaded me that Islam is NOT a religion of peace.
The general tone of the editorials makes that rather clear.

I recently added The Asian Times and boy are they hot we haven't hit
Iran.

They made some rather annoyingly good points for their case.

However they were very thin on making any case for reliable intelligence
of Iran actually pursuing nuclear weapons.

OTOH with the previous administrations saber rattling I would not
be the least bit surprised if Iran is now moving in that direction.
