@Charles and the other 237 people who, as of this morning, have messaged me with a similar comment...
First, let us be very clear about this: These wars are now Obama's wars. George Bush and the Republicans started these wars with overwhelming support from the Democrats in both the House and Senate and with the full approval of the Democratic Party.
Second, Obama has CHOSEN to OCCUPY Iraq for the long term... I would note that the United States has taken control of the Philippines for over 120 years and continues to have an occupying force in that country still at war with the people who want the United States OUT of their country. For what this occupation of the Philippines alone has cost the U.S. tax-payer, we could have been providing socialized health care for the American this entire time. Now this long-term occupation of Iraq that is Obama's doing, and Obama's alone is going to cost us the ability to fight hunger and malnutrition growing by leaps and bounds along with the poverty brought on by Obama's Wall Street agenda.
Third, it is a lie that Obama cannot end these wars because he inherited these wars from George Bush... I have never heard such a stupid argument in my life. You end the wars, put the troops on the same boats and planes that took them there and bring them home... simple as that; this is what Obama needs to do--- not expand the war in Afghanistan nor occupy Iraq.
Fourth, either Obama is the president of this country or he is not. What takes place on his watch is his, not George Bush's, responsibility.
It is a disgrace to hear Richard Trumka stand up before this entire nation and the whole world and fail to articulate the fact that Obama's wars are killing jobs the same way they kill people.
Richard Trumka had the responsibility to ask the people attending this march and rally and all those around the country and the world watching and listening:
How is Obama's war economy working for you?
Most people would answer:
Not very well.
That so many people would write to me calling me "stupid" (and much worse) for calling these wars "Obama's wars;" I ask them to tell me:
Who is in charge of this country right now?
