Obama "wolf in sheeps clothing" - Assange

Further to my assertion that Obama is full of rhetoric which doesn't match his actions, we have Julian Assange coming out firmly critical of the re-election of the president. It's widely known that the Obama administration has been the one that has been involved in persecuting the news organisation Wikileaks for nothing more than publishing the facts about what's really going on, have labelled Assange and Wikileaks the enemy, and have presided over the hysterical public discourse in the US where people seriously went so far as to call Assange a terrorist deserving of the death penalty. This has all happened under Obama, who sees fit in crapping on about the US being some light on a hill for everyone else to follow (um, no thanks).

So Assange has come out pointing these small little fact out, despite the Democrats jumping for joy about their victory.

WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange on Wednesday described re-elected President Barack Obama was a “wolf in sheep’s clothing” and said he expected the US government to keep attacking the anti-secrecy website.

WikiLeaks said in a statement that Obama’s administration had built a “state within a state” in his first term, “replete with secret laws, secret budgets, secret bailouts, secret killings, secret mass spying, and secret detention without charge”. It added: 

“Four more years in the same direction cannot be tolerated.” more

Oh, and how's it going with closing Gitmo and stopping those drones? I see Obama has begun his bla about the Republicans, stating they can't expect to have no tax increases when people are getting cuts to gov services. Note he didn't say there'd be no cuts to gov programs. He just said basically that he expects the rich to contribute to the effort to reduce the deficit. Did he mention any of this during the $2billion election campaign?

“We can’t just cut our way to prosperity. If we are serious about reducing the deficit, we have to combine spending cuts with revenue, and that means asking the wealthiest Americans to pay a little more in taxes,” he said.

“I’m not going to ask students and seniors and middle class families to pay down the entire deficit while people like me making over $250,000 aren’t asked to pay a dime more in taxes. I’m not going to do that.” more
