Early this morning I watched the first ad President Obama's favoring Super PAC for re-election has thrown out there against his potential rival Newt G, who is doubtful to even become the Republican nominee in the first place. So what is the point of these ads from Obama's camp then?
All current polls in Iowa show ole Newt has already dropped off considerably due to Mitt's Super PAC funded verbal assaults on him being visualized in reoccurring television ads last week.
Talk about a waste of money and air space, as if Newt needs any help looking bad, unless millions of citizens here have contracted amnesia. What a hoax it is that we are said to be in such a state of great debt nationally. Yet, politicians receive millions overnight to fund their corporate-centric political appetites with desires to build campaigns around bashing other candidates rising in the tide; instead of building their campaigns on issues the populas insist need be addressed like creating Green Jobs and significantly cutting back on Defense spending.
With Barack Obama's new ad pointing out Newt G's corruptive behavior as being something that has been gathering baggage for years, and that it makes President Obama "HAPPY"at the thought of running against him...leaves me utterly shocked that our nationally elected leader can openly state and advertise himself as being glad about the corruption in Congress because of the frail caliber of opponents it produces to potentially challenge his re-election.
These ads focused on Newt's many flaws, no doubt, are a method where Obama's camp hopes to point out how the President's policy failures during his first term have been merely a result of the bunk Congress he has had to work with...and who better to point to than Newt G?
After all, he is still wearing his out-of-style Fannie-Mae cash pack from serving time as a consultant to them while his cohorts there were running the US real estate market to a point-of-distant-return, if it returns at all...?
NO eye opening realizations there, only the cold and uncomfortably humorous depiction of the fucktarded Brady Bunch-like, staged bickering of our Congress men and women on Capital Hill, District of Corruption, as we ride along with their dysfunctionality.
Yet, what is most concerning is their elitist whimsical wills being driven by the wealth and interests of large-scale private contributors, who care much more now-a-days about company profit than they do about the wellness of those people who are using their products and/or affected by their practices.
Thanks to the existence of what many consider "unconstitutional acts", private interest groups/corporations are allowed to utilize their financial means to "LOBBY" politicians into favoring their specific firm's benefit when creating United States policy and law, in order for the politicians to continue receiving campaign funding and super pac snacks....thus, sounding much like "lawful bribery".
These corruptive temptations need to end by being replaced with a completely different paradigm. One that does not so heavily favor potential life-time terms in Congress, which often grants them great ability to make huge personal financial dividends from kick-back rewards for pushing Big Corporate agenda through into law.
Another common temptation is when a congressional member is working to create policies which benefit them personally via "lawful insider trading"...where they are allowed to trade on stocks within the specific industrial sectors they are sitting on committees for...where they frequently receive insider tips and can trade stocks personally based on this information via their smart phones when taking a piss after drinking too much coffee during their committee meetings which are funded by United States citizens mostly.
These practices by elitist based United States' interest are placing great burden onto the backs of the less fortunate ones by asking for those who have less to pay more so to bring our financial institutions and defense spending into balance again.
And even more importantly, we need a new political shift that reflects a system of true checks & balances, so to protect United States citizens from these corporate cronies and their wretched wishes for the 99%'s quality of life.
