Saving America
Directed by President Bush, the CIA tortured numerous prisoners, some to death, which is unconscionable and a gross violation of U.S. and International Law. Mr. Bush accepts no responsibility, saying his actions were justified and legal.

The situation is so bad, President Obama now opposes releasing dozens of pictures of this torture afraid it will set-off a huge wave of anti-America sentiment abroad and anger and shame at home. It will also trigger strong widespread demands for prosecution of those who conducted it, starting at the top, President Bush.

Meanwhile House Speaker Pelosi claims Congress is not responsible for she didn't know it was happening, but documents show she did.

Giant U.S. financial institutions collapse from massive greed and crazy investments. Do they accept responsibility? Not at all as they demand and receive bailout money. Whose money? The money from America's vast number of working people whose financial security they jeopardized.

Violating U.S. and International Law, the U.S. invades Afghanistan and Iraq, selling it to the American people with titles such as "Operation Iraqi Freedom," when in fact both nations are under U.S. military occupation. Vast numbers of their people have been killed, injured or orphaned. The U.S. has even spread the war to Pakistan.

President Obama is elected after blaming President Bush for all these horrifc actions. He then forgives the CIA torturers, expands the corporate bailouts, continues the war in Iraq, while escalating the one in Afghanistan and Pakistan.

1. I like this part...
"If you want change, if you want fairness, if you want to end the wars and stabilize the financial and political systems, you're going to have to get involved. The political system won't fix itself and it belongs to you, not to the people who have taken it from you. Only in your silence could they have done this. So speak up and demand your rights and you'll rock this corrupt system to its foundation."
