The power-brokers have falsely conned Pres. Obama into thinking that it was they who elected him into office.

They've made him believe that it was their influence, their money, their manipulations and machinations that put him in officce

When in reality they were minor players.

It was his mothers love that got him to where he is today.

It was the love of his wife and children, and grandparents, and friends and family and community.

It was his faith in God that brought him to the heights.

And finally it was we the people who saw reflected in him their goodness, their truth, their lives, this is why WE elected him.

It wasn't the MONEY. It wasn't the bankers. It wasn't the corporations.

THEY WERE BEHIND ALL THE CANDIDATES!

They will lie to and lobby you.

They will make you believe you can't be a great president without them pulling their devious strings.

Just the opposite is true.

They will wield their political tricks until they destroy you. Like they did with Clinton.

You have entrusted to you the awesome power of the American people.

With it you can:

End Poverty.

End Homelessness.

End the wars.

End the inequities that breed terrorism.

Bring an end to global warming.

Usher in the era of green power that will transform the planet.

Rebuild America and the world.

Educate every citizen to the utmost of their abilities.

Bring us single payer not for profit health care.


The power brokers, money lenders, war profiteers and bankers are only here for one thing.

To bend you to their will and make you powerless to effect real change.

They did NOT get you elected, they are NOT empowering you, You do NOT need them.

You only need us, and we need you.

God Bless and Good Luck Barack.

1. If you are being serious....
... then you completely misunderstand and understimate the man to whom you're speaking.

2. President Obama hasn't been conned and he hasn't lost his mind
Edited on Sun Apr-05-09 07:31 PM by firedupdem
either. I don't think he traveled this far to blow it all in 3 months. I'm confident Mr. Obama, the south side of Chicago guy that he is, hasn't forgotten who elected him and who he works for. He's not cut from the same cloth as some others.

5. Brace yourself - many here will only see that you have suggested...
...the President is not perfect.

I don't know if he believes they elected him, but it's an interesting idea.

8. I don't believe that is true at all. Nobody is perfect. Determining
that the President has been "conned" is something I would hope not many here would agree with. If that is in fact the case then I would assume someone would be pushing for an impeachment. 3 months in and he's been conned into not working for the people that elected him? You really believe that?

15. I'm not the one who said he was conned, just that it's an interesting idea...
His decisions regarding the financial crisis are questionable imo ~ but I don't know why he's going in the direction he is, or trusting the people he seems to be trusting.

13. Nobody
...gets to be the President without the PTB allowing it.

They control money, banks, the media. They can crush anyone they want. They decided that Obama would be ok. Let us hope Obama has conned them and he won't be their ok. Because, if he plays their game we are screwn.
