..he must have, otherwise why would he bother with this shit...
In case any of you were still labouring under the impression that the 'D' after the name of the guy in the Whitehouse meant 'Democrat' and not 'Dildo' (hey we're all getting fucked, deal with it) this should shatter that illusion once and for all. Today the President proposed sweeping new revisions of U.S. copyright laws that would make illegal streaming of audio or video content a federal felony, and allows the FBI to wire-tap those under suspicion. Apparently there is an epidemic of teenagers illegally streaming episodes of 'Glee' across the nation, and that just has to be stopped. Whew! Thank god we have O-Man on the trail, to wire-tap those future felons as they sit around watching a group of over-amped and far too-talented teenagers sing and dance on the teevee machine...
I for one, am very glad that Obama has taken care of all of the other important shit on his plate so that he can focus on this sort of problem. It adds such a personal touch to his Presidency I think, especially now that he has brought to justice the torturers from the previous administration, and held accountable the Wall Street executives that single-handledly and without so much as a shot being fired, robbed the US Treasury of all of our money. Not just that but we can all rest easy now that meaningful health care reform has been enacted and all Americans have access to free medical care anytime they want it. We can breathe cleaner air because he shut down all of the formerly grandfathered coal-fired power stations and they can no longer pump their filth into the air, and we can all enjoy the coastline safe from the knowledge that deep-water drilling has been permanently stopped and that there will be no more oil spills......
And then I woke up...
Some of you may have detected a slight tinge of sarcasm in my post today, and you'd be right. At a time when we have at least three rogue governor's in WI, OH and MI that are busy ripping apart their respective State's for the benefit of their campaign donors/owners, when we have a young private, not yet convicted, being treated in direct contravention to the Geneva Conventions AND United Nations standards on prisoner treatment which Obama calls "appropriate", and you have the rethuglicans threatening to gut the Environmental Protection Agency, and make us the laughing-stock of the planet by officially denying the existence of Global Climate Change, the President and his team of crack political tacticians have decided that criminalizing Youtube viewers is the way to go....
Funnily enough the talk out of D.C. the other day was that the President was trying to figure out how to fire up his base for the next election just as he had done in 2008. Well Sir, I think it's fair to say that you've certainly got us fired up again. Just not the way you had "hoped" for...Methinks you'd better "change" your priorities, and pretty damned quickly or the only future you will be winning, is on the lecture circuit starting in Jan 2013.
