He and Cheney have been protected by Nancy Pelosi and a Congress unwilling to stop unfounded wars of aggression, and it’s really sad how a good percentage of americans still don’t understand that the military complex is running the show at 1600 Washington.

Plus, the guy is a billionaire, so his money and power are not questioned.

Want to start saving our country? Ask not what your country can do for you, but what you can do for your country. Thank you JFK.

Check where our taxpayer dollars are being spent, folks. Apathy and a lack of protest against these useless wars, bailouts and even third term mayoral races is essentially killing our country.

Target: military budget
Where will Obama find the money for his ambitious programs? Look no further than the bloated Department of Defense

By Erica Etelson
November 26, 2008

…”The president-elect is very smart, but he’s not a magician. He cannot conjure from thin air the trillions it will take to fix our broken systems. Mr. Obama promised to raise taxes on the wealthiest Americans as a way of funding his ambitious programs; now it appears he intends to delay those increases. The most sensible way to raise revenue without raising taxes is to make substantial cuts in defense spending, starting with an immediate withdrawal of forces from Iraq.

Not one U.S. president has heeded President Dwight Eisenhower’s warning against the rise of the military-industrial complex. On the contrary, every administration has allowed the Pentagon and the defense industry to amass just the degree of “unwarranted influence” Mr. Eisenhower dreaded. And it just keeps getting worse; since 2001, defense spending has doubled, and President Bush has requested a record $711 billion in defense spending for 2009.”

A RECORD $711 billion in defense spending for 2009! Really! Why can’t that money be spent on healthcare, education, things that matter, not goose hunting for a guy who was in US Military employ for several years? Oh

It just goes to show how isolated he is from the reality based community.

Not being impeached is one thing, but the allowance of both crimes against humanity (unjust war, lying to the american people for the benefit of a few, and the subsequent death of many) and a total lack of accountability as it pertains to the financial sector (aka skimming, corporate greed/cronyism), are equally immoral.

DIck Cheney should have been impeached: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/US_House_Resolution_333
