Six months of O'BS, the current president, is more than enough time to make the promised "change" and the only change is for the worse for the workingclass. There are now daily news reports of the horrors perpetrated by the Democrat O'BS.

Just a look back of one day since what we heard yesterday was enough to make your hair stand straight up!

US Extends Blackwater Contract in Iraq

"The Nation magazine reports the Obama administration has extended a contract with the company formerly known as Blackwater for more than $20 million for “security services” in Iraq. Since President Barack Obama took office in January, the State Department has contracted with Blackwater for more than $174 million in “security services” alone in Iraq and Afghanistan and tens of millions more in “aviation services.” The latest contract was extended just days before two former Blackwater employees alleged in sworn statements filed in federal court that the company’s owner, Erik Prince, views himself as a Christian crusader tasked with eliminating Muslims and the Islamic faith from the globe."

"U.S. battling CIA rendition case in 3 courts"

"The Obama administration is fighting on multiple fronts - in courts in San Francisco, Washington and London - to keep an official veil of secrecy over the treatment of a former prisoner who says he was tortured at Guantanamo Bay."

"He and four other men have sued Jeppesen Dataplan, a San Jose subsidiary of the Boeing Co., for its alleged role in arranging their flights for the CIA. A Council of Europe report in 2007 described Jeppesen as the CIA's aviation services provider."

"The Ninth U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in San Francisco reinstated the suit in April, rejecting arguments originally made by the Bush administration that the case posed grave risks to national security. Obama administration lawyers endorsed those arguments at a hearing in February and have asked the court for a rehearing."

"Locked in a health-care debate that is claiming much of his energy, President Obama acknowledged Monday that a push to overhaul the U.S. immigration system would have to wait until 2010."

1a. Obama continues brutal immigrant detention policies, By Jerry White,

7 August 2009 at http://www.wsws.org/articles/2009/aug2009/dete-a07.shtml

"Obama has made clear that he will continue the “zero tolerance” policy in charging and jailing undocumented immigrants crossing the Mexican-US border and will resume construction of an $8 billion high-tech “virtual” fence along the border. The White House is also vastly expanding the Bush administration’s program to identify and deport undocumented immigrants held in local jails."

"Under the program, known as Secure Communities, virtually all people booked in local jails—even for the most minor offenses—will have their immigration status checked for the next four years. Previously, they could only be checked for a criminal history in the FBI database. If a person is found to be undocumented, they will face deportation as well as criminal charges."

"The Obama administration is spending millions of dollars to expand the program—which now operates in San Diego, Phoenix, Dallas, Miami and Durham, North Carolina—into a nationwide dragnet against immigrants by 2012. In addition, the administration is augmenting a program to check the immigration status of workers, which was widely criticized during the Bush administration.'

THE ONLY VIABLE IMMIGRATION REFORM IS TOTAL AMNESTY for every undocumented immigrant who has been here at least 1 year, and giving them a green card so that they can become citizens. After all if Republican Reagan did it in 1986, the Democrats ought to be able to do the same.

2. "Obama Reverses Campaign Pledge To Renegotiate NAFTA", August 11, 2009 at Democracy Now,

http://www.democracynow.org/2009/8/11/obama_reverses_campaign_pledge_to_renegotiate

"President Obama has wrapped up a two-day visit to Mexico for talks with Mexican President Felipe Calderon and Canadian Prime Minister Stephen Harper. The three leaders met in Guadalajara to discuss issues including immigration reform, trade, Mexico"s drug war, the crisis in Honduras, and the swine flu outbreak. It was Obama’s first official summit under the North American Free Trade Agreement, or NAFTA. On the campaign trail, Obama had promised to open up NAFTA to re-negotiations. But he"s backed off that pledge since taking office, blaming the global economic meltdown."

IT IS NAFTA THAT HAS CAUSED MEXICAN FIELDS TO BE EMPTIED OF THEIR LABOR FORCE AS MEXICAN CORN, FOR EXAMPLE, CANNOT COMPETE AGAINST US CORN, and caused Mexican farmers to flee to "el norte," the US, in the desperate search for work to feed themselves and their families.

You never get BS when you vote Peace & Freedom or Green Party. If you want change, you have to vote for the candidates of these parties only in California.
