The Wizard of Lies

Who is the Wizard of Lies, Bernie Madoff or Barack Obama?
Let us not be fooled by the title of the recent book on Ponzi Scheme Master Bernie Madoff, for even the billions he stole do not match the trillions Obama contributed to the bankers and Wall Street global bandits. And yet while massive unemployment and housing foreclosures continue, we hear hardly a peep out of our President, even as he prepares for his second term as chief of the United States. With the state murder of Osama bin Laden, his second term may be assured, since to those addicted to the world of make believe now see Obama as the hero who slayed the bogeyman, the dragon.
But we must think hard and long about how many trillions the bogeyman Osama generated for the US military/corporate/university complex. Think of the military budget since the first Gulf War that was the catalyst for Osama when the US stationed troops in the Muslim Holy Land of Saudi Arabia. Then the second invasion of Iraq under Bush II, then Afghanistan, then Pakistan.
The bogeyman Osama has now gone to bogey paradise, we must assume, although we have seen no body, supposedly disposed in the ocean. No one in their right mind believes anything from the mouth of politicians, for sure, the change Obama promised has not come during his first term, so who can believe change is gonna come during his almost certain second term?

Do you believe prosperity is just around the corner, that there will soon be a chicken in every pot? Let me sell you the Brooklyn Bridge.

At least Bernie Madoff schemed you by making you believe in yourself, but Obama convinces you to believe in him as your savior, although before the words leave his lips his actions contradict his lips. The Native Americans taught us about those who speak with a forked tongue.
What we have is a liar and mass killer who far surpassed the murders committed by Osama and his death angels We need only total the deaths due to the US military since the election of Obama, the killing from Iraq, Afghanistan, Pakistan, Yemen and Libya, the drone attacks and other "black" acts in the name of Democracy and freedom.

Most thinking persons do not envision a complete departure of troops from Iraq, especially not the 200,000 contract killers and the 16,000 embassy workers. We doubt the US will depart from Afghanistan by 2014, after all it has taken 30,000 additional troops to search for 100 to 500 Al Quida. Bernie Madoff is thus a baby liar, Barack Obama the Master Liar. Take your pick.
Again, at least Bernie made you feel good about yourself.
