Tax Dollars At War. 

Last night the 44th President of the United States Barack Obama delivered his final State of the Union address where both houses of Congress attended Mr Obama’s annual address. Yes, It was a powerful speech and Obama wanted to leave his legacy with three quotes I really liked: 

“Food Stamp recipients didn’t cause the financial crisis; recklessness on Wall Street did.”

“I will keep working to shut down the prison at Guantanamo" 

Protesters call for closure of Guantanamo Bay by Al Jazeera America News | January 11, 2016. 

“But my fellow Americans, this cannot be my task – or any president’s – alone. There are a whole lot of folks in this chamber – good people – who would like to see more cooperation, would like to see a more elevated debate in Washington but feel trapped by the imperatives of getting elected, by the noise coming out of your base. I know; you’ve told me. It’s the worst-kept secret in Washington. And a lot of you aren’t enjoying being trapped in that kind of rancor.”

  • The transcript of President Obama’s final State of the Union: What he said, and what it meant. By Washington Post. 

But the rest of it was an arrogant statement from Barack Obama to new economies like China, Russia, Indonesia, Middle East, Philippines, Sri Lanka, Africa (Kenya, Tanzania, Zambia, Bangladesh), Latin America, India, Japan, South Korea etc. and especially to old Europe (Remembering Rumsfeld’s Foolish “Old Europe” Insult) I did not like it at all…. Really, in 2016….Obama?”

Feel like refreshing your mind? Watch ‘The War On Democracy’ (2007). John Pilger brilliant doc about current and past relationship of Washington with Latin American countries such as Venezuela, Bolivia and Chile. 

RT, originally Russia Today, is what we all know a Russian government funded television network … but they released this article this morning that nailed it folks… 

10 Obama quotes that will make you chuckle here….

  • "The United States of America is the most powerful nation on Earth. Period.
  • “Leadership means a wise application of military power”
  • "With TPP, China doesn’t set the rules in that region, we do” (LEARN MORE ABOUT THE TPP)

A simple War speech? Pro-war rhetoric? Looking for a new conflict with Iran are we? Looking for a new Gulf of Tonkin incident?

Tax Dollars At War. 

  • “US troops as the finest fighting force in the history of the world.”

“Yes we learned from former U.S. Secretary of Defense that “Rationality will not save the US” and that it’s important to set up a strong intelligence service and military to project your nation but…. Really Obama??” – Tax Dollars At War – (VIDEO)
