There are some here in Kansas City that are complaining that President Obama is being hypocritical of African democracies when he said that their governments need to worry about the rot of corruption. Now, as anyone who follows politics can tell you, he was talking about how money can make new fledgling governments do things that go against the will of their people and overlook laws. Is that what the Obama Administration is doing? Get real!
No matter what side of the scandals a person takes, and I think most are basically just the GOP hating the President, there is no doubt that big money does influence governments in the country. Now, as far as anyone can tell, there is no scandal where money changed hands to change anything. Now, money does go into campaigns to influence votes on both sides, but that is not corruption like the President was talking about in Africa. Here in America, at this time, almost all big money is on the side of the GOP and against President Obama and every-day Americans. Wall Street backs the GOP, but gives money to Democrats to try to keep a voice in the process if they get elected. ALEC simply takes their money and their ideas into State Legislatures and hands bills to GOP State Congressmen and Senators to get enacted into law. People like the Koch Brothers are getting local laws passed and attempting to buy newspapers to quiet anyone who disagrees with them. Not one of them would back anything the President would try and get enacted.
Some people are saying President Obama was hypocritical of African corruption when there is so much here in America. But here, it's actually the GOP that uses big money, and vise versa, to attempt to subvert the American people's will.
