http://irregulartimes.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/saulalinsky.jpg

Barack Obama was ten years old when Saul Alinsky died. Ten years old. Get it? Obama was just at the right age to have been taught to ride a bicycle by Alinsky. Bicycle – the very word causes shivers to run down the spine of every red blooded American capitalist.

Rocky Anderson Compares Barack Obama To Gerald Ford

http://irregulartimes.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/rockyandersonshirtbrown.jpg

The comparison Rocky Anderson makes is apt: Like President Ford, Barack Obama helped the President who came before him evade legal responsibility for serious crimes that were committed in the White House.

We spent a great deal of time here at Irregular Times during the summer and autumn of 2008 discussing Barack Obama’s support for the terrible FISA Amendments Act – a law that gave immunity to telecommunications corporations for breaking federal law by providing government spies with information about millions of Americans’ private communications data.
