Have you people forgotten Bush's trip to Germany? He had a 'town hall meeting' planned there, and it got cancelled.
Why? Because although it was being advertised as a spontaneous interaction between him and the audience, his advance team demanded that all the questions be submitted for approval before the meeting. The German government refused to go along with the charade. They said Bush must either take unrehearsed questions from the floor as billed, or skip the event.
Pretty bad, when the children and grandchildren of Nazis have to give us lessons in honesty, transparency and democracy....

There have been major wars between good and evil. And before that? Another history lesson? We should focus better? Look beyond any historical problems recent or ancient. Help with current solutions or remain part of the problem.

That's obviously not true. And for people to support or attack the current administration based on such false claims is hardly helpful, or good for the country.

troy2000,
Look at the last two comments in my prior post. "Look beyond any historical problems recent or ancient. Help with current solutions or remain part of the problem."
Why are you posting beyond that? Help with solutions. Period!!!

Claiming the Obama administration is evilly manipulating public opinion and events in a way that's never been done before is hardly a solution to anything. All it does is promote unwarranted fear and hysteria.

I am very dismayed about what I learned about our current White House. The amount of control and manipulation was unbelievable. I felt I was not living in the United States of America , more like the USSR !! | The irony is deeply thick on the ground, here.
So, lemme see if I understand this. If people object to it, but have professionally made signs, they're salt of the Earth and really oppose it. If people do the same but support it, then it's astroturfing. So apparently, the Right is incapable or would never do that, but the Left always does.
When Bush II created "free speech zones" it's good, if Obama has designated areas for protestors, it's bad.
Am I following all this correctly?

Remember, if your opinions aren't consistent based soley on whether it's "your side" doing something or not, that makes one a "hypocrite".
So, if any of y'all ever supported Bush II's tactics when he wanted public perception on an issue to go a certain way (and he did), then you have little right to complain now.
"As ye sow, so shall ye reap." or something like that.
I mean really, acting surprised because any politician moves to control a message using marketing techniques? That is SOP for any of them.
"DUUURR, it's like da USSR!". That is one of the most pathetic things I've ever seen written. I'll guarantee you this person never said jack-all about the free speech zones or message control the last POTUS used. Hypocrite. Hypocrites really push my buttons.

Ohhhhhh bahhhhhmmmm aaaaa.......Ohhhhhhhh baahhhhhhhh mmmmmm aaaa.
I think this is why the approval ratings are dropping so quickly; some folks are coming out of their trance and "sobering up" so to speak.
Cult-like appeal and information manipulation is a very real threat (like Josef Goebbels in Pre WWII Germany or on a micro scale Jonestown) and one must be vigilant not to get suckered in. In some cases these were fairly normal folks who did some extremely horrific things and the progression wasn't readily apparent to them until it was too late. It's tough because sometimes your own intelligence can work against you--you get just enough info to get "hooked" and your mind relentlessly tries to fill in the puzzle. You're fed (or see) information just enough to keep you moving in the direction the "leader" wants and your mind tries to make things fit and make sense. This is why the full-court press of propaganda by the media has been and is a sinister thing and we have to ask "why would someone do this" to push an agenda ? It's obviously not to make our country a better place. This is why the "czars" and mad scientist background of some of the advisors is so problematic--it doesn't seem like something that would be directed at helping one's fellow man OR fostering liberty. It seems to me like the "rule the world" complex which has always turned out poorly and needlessly killed people.
Cult-like figures (or maybe more appropriately those actively exploiting this concept to attempt to push an agenda) are obviously unsuitable for public service.

how can an eye witness to an event be called false claims- they dont care what happened in the past - It happened to them and it happen now - obumma isn't doing anything but opening eyes as to the fact he's all show - what happened here was wrong and he was responsable for it . Gary

Why is it OK to bash Dubya but it is a SIN to say anything against Obama. I don't really care for a lot of things Bush II did. I don't think we should have gone into Iraq. I do support our troops no matter where they are.
I don't think Obama is the Savior of our country. I don't get all warm inside or all Touchy Feely when I see him on TV. I didn't get all warm inside when Dubya was on TV either. I wouldn't jump up and down and scream and faint if I saw Obama in person like the girls did back in the 60's when the Beatles were in concert. He's just another Politician just like all of them that will do or say anything to get elected.
I have one question also. Is there anything that Obama would do that you make you stop supporting him?
