Obama![]() Obama: Hope and Change? President Obama was elected under the banner of change.
In this last, he even promised this change in his inaugural speech on that cold January day, and a very big thing was made of it too! Freedom CracksBarely 100 days had passed before Obama was revealed as the head of a United States, professing freedom for all while at the same time condoning torture. Guantanamo was promised to be closed and the abuses stopped. The guilty would face the full majesty of the law. Broken PromisesEven this bold Obama-ite sensed something was possibly wrong when the author stated back in January,
Then in July, the same author said,
The thing is when Barack speaks…The thing is, it all sounds great when Obama speaks. But as with everything, it’s actions that count, not words. And the latest action in America is not pleasant at all. Under direct command from Obama, Defence Secretary Gates has blocked the publication of any more images featuring Americans abusing and torturing people. Q. The Reason? A. National security, of course! These aren’t all old images, mind you! No! The images span the period from the Twin Towers’ collapse to 22 January 2009 – this year! Gates’ reason for blocking the picture releases is;
Germany CallingNow can you imagine the scenario if a German had said that at the Nuremberg Trials after WW2? What would the US and British media have made of that? Let’s see what it sounds like, should we?
It’s ridiculous, isn’t it? The whole point is that these people have done wrong. Obama and Opinion![]() Eye Swear, hope to die ....... Obama’s new response to the blocking of all torture images is wholly at variance with Eisenhower’s at the end of WW2. Eisenhower got all media and persons to visit the death camps and tell everyone they knew all about them. Obama? He said;
My opinion is that across the globe, people have been yearning for some leadership on this. A demonstration of the ‘right way’ to behave. A feeling that justice can be done. A beacon of hope to show that actions and attitudes really can change.
Q. Just what exactly did Obama learn when he lived abroad and elsewhere as a “normal person” as this author confidently states? A. It certainly wasn’t ethics and it certainly wasn’t honour. FranceShakespeare says in Henry V, “Done like a Frenchman: turn, and turn again!” So despite being cool about Sarkozy, Obama has definitely picked up lots of tips on his French trip on D-Day this year about how to behave like Frenchman and how to run a Republic.

Now, as the Yanks draw up the abuse drawbridge as Obama goes to tell the Chinese how to do human rights, the British Torture and Death investigation gets underway.

I hope, given what I’ve said, that Obama’s words when he reached China will strike the right sort of resonance with you! See:
Obama presses China over rights
To me, it’s just weasel talk to the wind. he said;
He then went on to say that freedom of information – including open access to the internet – was important. he said;
Obviously, he’s forgotten all about the Universal Declaration of Human Rights and the US Constitution….? Because he’s not examining that aspect of what he’s doing.
