Our work is not done

So says President Obama who has done all he could to make the work undone. He accepted the Nobel peace prize with a warmongering speech justifying war since he wanted to tell his constituency he was worthy as a commander in chief although he had already won the election and he was free to be his own commander in chief. He didn't realize he was president since he acts like a constant candidate. He chose to be a clone of a Bush example of a commander in chief. He was elected on a strong antiwar get out of Guantanamo and get out of Iraq and get out of Afghanistan ticket. Rather than turn away from Bush policies he immunized Bush from any legal responsibility for his lies and deceit and promptly picked up on continuing torturous war even escalating it to invade Pakistan and deployed a new policy of assassination by drones regardless of civilian casualties.
No, President Obama, Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.'s work is not done in large measure because of you. I doubt that you will pick up the peace vote, the antiwar vote, or the change vote. You may win with the corporate vote and you may buy the election with your war chest. You may continue the American way and continue to oppose everything MLK stood for. Our work will be done in spite of you.
