The Lies of Reagan, The Truths of Obama

There has been a lot of press in the last week over the comments made by Democratic Presidential Candidate Barrack Obama concerning the mindsets of citizens in small towns and rural areas. Obama said he was not surprised these people had become embittered and were clinging hardfast to their values and traditions in spite of all the economic tragedies and hardships that have ravaged them and their communities in the last 28 years. As expected, the elites in the media, politics, and corporations have made an issue of his statements and tried to smear him on a number of grounds. All these smear attacks are absolutely baseless and without value. The government, mainstream media, and the vast majority of corporations have sold the nation and its future down the river and the folks away from the power centers and the money have paid the harshest costs. They were sold a bill of goods by the GOP starting with Reagan and have lost most of what was theirs as a result. Obama is absolutely right to say what he did, and although it could have been worded better, the point is that most Americans are much, much worse off than they were a generation ago and more recently, and these three greedy, foolish, incompetent entities are at fault for the widespread demise of middle class and working class Americans everywhere. False promises, deceit, and treachery by corporate America and their government henchmen and lackeys have paid a long, hard price on most every American and it will be a challenge that is seemingly insurmountable to reverse.
