Obama has not been the president of the USA. He has only represented union bosses, big business like GE and BP, Wall St and George Soros.

The Ku Klux Klan is still operating in 21st century USA,The Ku Klux Klan is still operating Articles just in another mode: they cannot bear having an African-American as president of our country. Especially one who is deeply intelligent, humane, and principled. They spread lies that he doesn't have an American birth certificate. They lie, claiming he's a Muslim. They conveniently forget facts when it's convenient to forget them, such as the fact that under false pretenses two Republican party guys--Bush and Cheney--, and their toadies insisted that we go to war and that fiasco then led to more war. Bush even boasted: "I am the war president!" They invited the banking giants to do as they please, which led to the financial meltdown. They click their heels and open their purses to lobbyists who don't give a hoot about fairness for all as they widen the chasm between rich and poor. They hold back on unemployment checks for those whose jobs have been erased. They follow and lap up the progaganda of deceptive foxes like O'Reilly and Beck, and the scheming Karl Rove and Koch brothers. They promote tea partyers who are clueless that the separation of Church and State is fundamental to our country's Constitution and democracy. They preach government austerity while being war hawks and extending tax breaks for those at the top of the wealth heap. They cheer as the Supreme Court hands endless power to corporations to spend as much as they like--don't tell, don't ask--to fund elections of candidates who to do their bidding. And they want to dismantle Obama's bill that was passed for a more equitable health care system.

But what exposes the resentment, prejudice, and destructive intent of these modern day Ku Klux Klan types the most is their goal that they announced when Barack Obama was elected president two years ago: the Repulican Party's grand fromages preened that their motive was "to make Obama fail." They won't make him fail, even though he's made mistakes and many of us who voted for him are not in accord with some of his decisions--Guantanamo isn't closed, drones continue, no national moratorium on foreclosures,e.g. But failure isn't in his bones. He lives and works in the house that was built by his ancestors. A connection that testifies to our country's progress. And this symbolic House--our country--will crumble if we go backwards and empower a Klu Klus Klan mentality.
