If you liked the speeches
Biden and Obama delivered at the Democratic Convention I can
tell you why without having been an insider during their
formulation: the advertising agencies hired by the
campaign carried out a series of focus groups with the
objective of finding out why so many people feel so negative
about the Obama presidency, which provided them with the
inspiration they needed to draft those
speeches.
What they found in their
focus groups was that
Obama appears to believe in nothing that requires conviction.
One might say he's an opportunist. He hasn't shown
an ounce of courage or commitment to his oath of office since he took office, bowing instead to
his feckless corporate selected advisors who are from the same
school of thinking to which the Republicans pay
homage...
...that's why we still torture
people, particularly whistle blowers who try to protect the
Bill of Rights and the rule of law in an effort to hold onto
their honor and integrity;
...that's why we still use depleted
uranium ordinance that results in birth defects and cancers in
thousands of children living in or around where our soldiers
fire their weapons and in the process are required to commit
these egregious war crimes;
...that's why George Bush and
his gang
are not in prison for their treason and for ripping to shreds
the Constitution (you know, that "God damned piece of
paper") and for Obama's decision to ratify that treason
by keeping what they did in place and even expanding on the prior
administration's criminal acts by engaging in his own;
... that's why the rules of
habeas corpus, perhaps the main cornerstone of jurisprudence
and our Constitution haven't been restored... and why
Obama thinks he has the right to detain people indefinitely
without due process of law.
...that's why Obama believes he had
the right to kill Bin Laden and dump his body in the ocean (where's the honor in that?); and why he thinks he has the
right to send drones into areas where innocent men, women, and
children are regularly killed or dismembered "by accident."
...that's why there's still no
real investigation of 911 which nearly every structural engineer,
architect, and pilot in the country knows, and pretty much every
first
responder who showed up that day knows, was an inside job; hey,
Mr. President how come building 7 came down at freefall speed
when it wasn't even hit by a plane? Didn't you ever
wonder how that miracle happened?
...that's why we have Obama care
and not a decent universal healthcare plan like every other
industrialized country has;
...that's why none of the criminals
who took down our economy have been prosecuted; and why this
administration's economic policies are designed to reward
bankers and the military industrial complex while ignoring the
rest of the American People...
They were great speeches Mr.
Biden and Mr. Obama. Congratulations!! No
doubt your team will win another prize for the best
advertising campaign of the year. Congratulations to your
advertising team who put your speech together, they really
know how to write good copy and move the heart. Like me,
I'm sure the American people were so very glad to hear that you get your inspiration
from them. You sure do inspiring work and are a
brand we can almost believe in.
Too bad for the American
people that Romney and Paul feed from the same trough and bow
down to the same people you guys do... and won't be one ounce
better in office or any more honorable than you are if they
get elected instead of you.
