Politics

last week, here in Scotland, a Scottish international rugby player was criticised for tweeting that Obama was a "whore" of wall street. Ok, the language was a bit choice, but the sentiment behind it was entirely true. Obama is a whore of wall street. Not only that, but he is also a whore of the military industrial complex, the big pharma companies, the big agricultural companies and basically any person or company that will pay him money. I read that the GOP favourite for the nomination, Romney is being funded by the likes of Goldman Sachs. Obviously he sees what Obama is doing and thinks, "I'll have some of that, thank you very much." The sordid face of US politics rears it's ugly head again. If the truth be told, politics here in the UK is just as sordid and greed induced as the US.
I look on with interest and hope common sense prevails and the GOP nominate Ron Paul.
