Funding the Israeli killing machine is helping to push us off the "fiscal cliff."

Barack Obama can continue funding the murderous and barbaric Israeli killing machine engaged in genocidal pogroms against the Palestinian people forced to live in what amounts to a concentration camp every bit as evil and pernicious as the Warsaw Ghetto was yet there isn't enough money to fund a national public health care program, quality public schools or adequate child care nor create the kind

of huge job creating programs required like WPA and CCC.

While squandering our tax dollars on this barbarity in Gaza Strip these same politicians hypocritically talk about preventing our Nation from taking a dive off this "fiscal cliff" when their immoral policies are shoving our Nation crashing onto the sharp, jagged rocks below the "cliff."

How much more of this senseless, cruel, insanity paid for with our tax-dollars are the American people going to take from these Wall Street bribed politicians like Obama and their puppets in Israel before saying "ENOUGH!"

Does anyone really believe Obama and the Democrats were not aware Israel was going to go on this rampage and murderous killing spree in Gaza Strip? How goddamn stupid do these barbaric and demonic monsters in power think we are?

Militarism and wars are what is shoving our Nation off the "fiscal cliff."

And then we get this from Obama--- at press conference in Thailand; this from the man who is engaged in killing sprees and drone attacks across the globe:

"Let's understand what the precipitating event here that's causing the current crisis and that was an ever-escalating number of missiles that were landing not just in Israeli territory but in areas that are populated, and there's no country on Earth that would tolerate missiles raining down on its citizens from outside its borders,”  at the start of a three-nation tour in Asia.

With Obama just weeks after the election we got:

* A sleazy sex scandal involving the head of the CIA and a four-star general.

* Notice we are about to fall off the "fiscal cliff."

* And now this genocidal carnage in Gaza.

We are off to a fine post-election beginning; one can only surmise and wonder what the next four years of Obama holds in store--- another scandal and war every week as foreclosures and unemployment continue with more working class families being shoved off the "fiscal cliff" crashing onto the rocks of poverty?
