Obama's Citizens' Briefing Book

Need a laugh? Then check out the Citizens' Briefing Book at change.gov.

Damned few post anything addressing the subject of the individual threads but rather want to spout their self-centered and all too frequently hair-brained rants all over the board. If the thread is about oranges then rest assured people will post about legalizing pot as that what seems to be on their minds (or clouding them). One knucklehead even offered a free donut to anyone who could guess the number of donuts he could fit on his "pole". Add in the angry, bitter right-wing hacks posting and voting down anything with which they don't agree and it gets funnier if not more pathetic (Sarah? Is that YOU?). And, of course, the most popular idea is making the US the "greenest nation on the planet", obviously posted and supported by those who plan to ride their unicorns over the rainbow bridge to the beach campfire to make smores with Smurfs. Apparently they don't live in the "real" world but are in college or high school and have copius free time to post idealistic dribble between bong hits and classes while sucking on the teats of both mommy and daddy.

Meanwhile, in the "real" world, people are losing their savings, jobs and homes. Thousands of disabled veterans are being tossed into the streets to fend for themselves. Banks are being emboldened with cash infussions from our tax dollars to cover their bad bets that resulted from their sheer, unregulated greed so that they can continue business as usual - which is screwing people at every opportunity. While the rich get richer the average American is tossed under the economic bus. Institutions are "too big to fail" yet we are "too small to succeed". None-the-less smoking dope, being green and mass transit are the "most popular" issues on the Citizens' Briefing Book.

Whatever may reach PE Obama from the Citizens' Briefing Book will appear as if it were written by a bunch of stoned imbeciles who deserve to be abused and ripped-off by government as usual. The PE would be better off if he were to poll all of his donors that gave $100 or less rather than have his staff wade through this endless stupidity. Then, perhaps, he'd know what his thinking supporters actually have to say other than "we want free twinkies 'cuz we're stoned". Unfortunately the only ones who donated that got "face time" with the PE are the select few that donated $100K or more. The rest of us are just voices in the wilderness to never be heard because we can't write out checks with a lot of zeroes before the decimal point.

For the record I voted for Obama being sick of being sold out by the Republicans (of whom I was never one) but I fear, the more I read and learn, that Obama has debts to pay and not to the voters that brought him to office.

21-50. Out.
