Your post is sobering.
I haven't been following Obama as you have.
My head has been lasered in on Canada's BUSH, and how much of a Delusional Criminal he is.
Politics is still a Vipers nest, full of disappointments.

You have your hands full up there.
Besides it's hard to follow Obama. He's a slippery customer. Aren't they all?
They are.
I'm taking full credit for Justin Trudeau being the new Leader of the Liberal party.
I said it many moons ago that they should start grooming him, and they did just that.
Trudeau is now Leader, and he's accusing Tom Mulcair of the same divisive politics that Harper is a master at.
It's a bunch of @#!*% . Mulcair is smarter than Trudeau, and Trudeau knows it.
The election is on NOW.
Every party is in election mode, and it's 2 years away, that's how intense this situation is in Ottawa.
I have grave fears that Harper's elite buddies will rub Mulcair OR Trudeau out within six months of either man winning the election.
I suspect that they will kill any opponent that gets in their way.
Our voting system has been compromised, Elections Canada is almost powerless, and the people are so ignorant and uninterested in who leads the country that Canada is truly @#!*% . We were a Banana Republic in 2006 when Harper won, and we remain a Banana Republic in 2013.
I'm not crying foul. I'm Raging @#!*% ANGRY.
Change our flag's colors to yellow and change that maple leaf to a @#!*% Chiquita Banana.
Anybody wanna debate me?
I've been ready for you for a long time.
Sign up and let me UNLOAD.
That sounds depressing. Let's hope Canadians will wake up and get involved.
It is.
It's profoundly depressing.
We have another problem: almost every single ethnic group here in Canada (especially new arrivals) will vote for whoever is currently in power.
They are a Major hinderance to our democracy. They do not take the time to understand our political parties. Not all of them, mind you, but the lions share of them don't. They are even more ignorant of politics than your average Canadian.
They vote, as they feel priviledged to do so, and that's great. But they vote for who is in power because they think Canada is Beautiful and almost a Utopia compared to wherever they came from. Whoever is in power MUST BE the ones Canadians truly want! Right?
WRONG.
And to head you off at the pass, I'm not racist. If I was, I would never be able to live in a city like Toronto, which is the most multi-racial, multi-cultural, Avenue-of-Nations city on Earth.
If I was racist my head would explode at all of the "foreigners" sucking up space. LOL
I love the culture here. LOVE IT. I love exotic foods and exotic foreign ladies and foreign films. So label me a racist and I LAUGH AT YOU.
I'm just pointing out that there is a big problem with our landed foreign friends who are aiming to be Canadian Citizens.
They split the vote worse than any political party...
That has to change in time. Latino voters in the US have a very different effect. They do not vote for right-wingers. But in other ways from what you say I fear that a political contagion is spreading from the US up to Canada of cynicism and corporate toadying in politics.
Exactly. Lobbying is worse here than in the U.S. I admire those Latino voters. That is the model for ethnic groups expressing a vote. UNITY
The people can do it. It depends on popular action. That's how things happen.
Disgraced Conservative MP Peter Penashue is running in a by-election that Harper has just called for May to "legitimately" win his seat in Parliament.
As far as I'm concerned, he has to pay back every dime the taxpayers gave him in salary and perks until he was found guilty of illegal campaign fund solicitation and acceptance. He has paid back in excess of $40,000, but who gives a shit?
He should be disqualified from ever running in an election again.
Guess what I'll prophesize?
That he will win his fucking seat in the By-Election.
Why? How?
Harper is a Delusional Criminal.
He will buy Penashue's victory "correctly" this time.
The Newfie voters can vote for the Easter Bunny. No one except a Tory will win.
Tory Scandal Radar is going berserk again....
Foreign Affairs Minister John Baird just committed a serious sin and has just proven for all-time how unqualified he is for the job.
He met with Israeli officials this week and pissed off every single Palestinian by meeting with those officials in an off-limits part of the country.
What did Baird say in response?
"I will not get into semantics over meeting someone on which-side-of-the street"
HUH?!?!?
Semantics? Time for another file, JOHN. You have no idea what you are doing. And if you do, you don't care.
That is Dangerous and Wrong for Canada. Give Baird another file- this time something a little less prominent and far less damaging to Canada's reputation. Which is in tatters anyway...we have a massive Tory Oil Spill to clean up KIDS....
And remember that Robo-Call scandal? That scandal that won Harper the election in 2011? (among other things?)
Well, "Pierre Poutine" (a/k/a Michael Sona- 23 year old Tory campaign staffer) has been formally charged with wilfully directing voters to another polling station. He has been traced to the cell-phone fraud and we'll see what happens now. Will he take one for the team? Or will he sing like a bird about who ordered him to make those voter suppression calls.
Why doesn't the Harper government pass legislation that makes robocalls illegal?
BECAUSE IT WON THEM THE ELECTION, IDIOT!!!!!
Why would they pass legislation like that? No way! It helps them maintain corrupt control, dummy!
Also, remember: it's all about money. Not who's in power. It's about who's funding them.
"The Voter" is irrelevant.
Harper is well-funded.
Good luck unseating him.
Canada is a sad banana republic at the moment, and nobody has balls to fix it.
Sorry to ratchet up the depressing state of affairs, but it's Harper himself who ratchets it up every single day, like a Psychopath.
I just give it to you.
I can't keep up on this, but thanks for all the information.
Banana republic? What about the free health care system? That is a huge advantage over the US. Obviously the country's medical system is not controlled by private health insurance conglomerates they way it is down here.
Health care isn't quite free here. You pay by waiting for hours and hours to get seen.
We're still a banana republic, regardless of the health care.
I don't care if I'm offending anyone on this. Our Corrupt, Criminal, Illegitimate Tory government has turned this fine Nation into a banana republic.
All free health care means to me is that I don't have to get sick. And I haven't had any ailments in 38 years (knock on wood).
I haven't been to a doctor since I was released from the military.
Free health care is just insurance to not get sick, that's all.
Peter MacKay (CORMORANT PETE!) has just announced that Canada will buy more submarines. What, to augment our current fleet of 2? LOL
Justin Trudeau is now officially the Liberal Leader and Harper welcomed him to Parliament with several vicious attack ads, saying he's not qualified to be PM.
OH THE IRONY....................
Liberal Leader Justin Trudeau is likable, and he definitely poses a threat to Harper and NDP Leader Mulcair.
Personally, I think Trudeau is in it for himself.
He's more qualified to be PM than Harper, that's for damn sure. Trudeau has been on Parliament Hill since he was a tot.
He could be the best PM we've ever had, that's how much potential he has.
But I happen to believe with all my heart and soul that Thomas Mulcair and the NDP will provide public administration that is unmatched.
And not only that, but Mulcair, once he's in 24 Sussex Drive, will prosecute Harper and any Tory who has done anything treasonous or in the name of corruption. And only a new Prime Minister will be able to ferret that out. Only Mulcair would prosecute to the fullest extent of the Law. Trudeau would let it slide.
Here's another horrible fact about Harper:
You know all those prisons he's building?
He built them for his WIFE.
For saving his political career.
Laureen owns a company that makes meals for prisons.
I just read that Harper is very close to having a backbencher Mutiny on his hands.
Several backbench Tory MP's are extremely upset at being muzzled by Harper. They are not allowed to put forward ANYTHING unless it meets Herr Steve's approval, and apparently, nothing ever meets his approval.
And they've had enough of it.
Here's an idea Tory backbenchers:
CROSS THE FLOOR. To the NDP.
What a statement that would be!
What a BEAUTIFUL statement that would be!
What would Harper do?
He would shit his oily pants!
I will vote NDP for the rest of my life, but Liberal Leader Justin Trudeau said something I agree with 1000%:
Canadians want to be LED, not RULED.
Amen to that Justin!
We would like some LEADERSHIP. Sometime this decade please. If only we can remove the Criminal PM we have now.
I can't believe Harper dropped everything he was doing this week to go to Maggie Thatcher's funeral.
Actually I can. Thatcher would be a HERO to Harper. A Conservative who Ruled with an Iron Fist...and had no testicles.
Harper loves her.
England is still feeling the repercussions of her Reaganomics Rule.
Wasn't Reaganomics awesome? LOL
Thatcher told Rotten Ronnie that she would stick by him till the end of the world.
Ronnie said he would organize it.
Glad both of those cretinous "heads of state" are fucking GONZO.
But I'm not glad my tax dollars pay for Harper to go to Thatcher's funeral. You didn't ask my permission Steve.
Don't you have more important things to do? Thatcher died in 1992 anyway, as far as I'm concerned. LOL
More proof that Harper is an out-to-lunch IDIOT:
When Trudeau was asked on TV about the recent Boston bombings, he said that we should look at the root causes of such a thing, because obviously the one(s) who did this were marginalized in some way and felt they had to do something horrible to get their anger out.
Harper went berzerko, saying that the State should NEVER look at the root causes, that we should just condemn it outright.
Right.
This is coming from a man who could BE the root cause of such an act.
Government policies create angry citizens sometimes. WAKE UP HARPER! You are a perfect example of a ROOT CAUSE.
