Leftist blasphemy.
Via Politico:
Monday’s presidential debate focuses on foreign policy and Cindy Sheehan has been a vocal critic of American foreign policy following the 2004 death of her son, Casey, while he was serving in Iraq.
Sheehan tells POLITICO in an email that, if the president claims to have had a strong term with regards to foreign policy, she’s not going to buy it. […]
“As to the issue of war and peace — he has not been an improvement over Bush. The health care ‘reform’ was just another corporate giveaway and written by the industries that profit. Obama has expanded oil leases and been a failure regarding the environment — he is pushing charter schools and set up traditional schools to fail. Of course on the jobs’ front, Obama has been a dismal failure and many very progressive steps need to be taken to get us out of that hole, but I am afraid Obama will not take them,” she said.
“I see Obama as another able servant of the 1 percent despite some rhetorical nods to issues that I care about (mostly for votes). I was giving a talk the other day and I said that I ALMOST feel sorry for George Bush — there was so much hatred and invective flung at him (I know, I was guilty of this, too), but he must notice that Obama is continuing most of his policies and has been even congratulated by Dick Cheney, for example, and he must be wondering where’s the call from the left for Obama’s impeachment or trial for crimes against humanity. To my credit, I have been calling for these things for Obama as hard as I did with Bush.”
