奥巴马江河日下

[sunfarstar]

两周前，我写了一篇“奥巴马的困境”，说他在医疗保健改革大辩论中，陷于被动。没过几天，他就在舆论压力面 前，表示有可能放弃政府办的医疗保险计划，声称那不是医改计划的全部，也不是核心，只是一小部分。这不过是 一块可笑又可怜的遮羞布！
政府办的医疗保险计划，为的是跟私营保险公司竞争，以便压低医疗费用。当然是真正医改的核心内容。奥巴马要 放弃这个计划（所谓的“公家选项”（public option），考虑代之以非营利性的合作社，是大退步。即使这个退步也不能安抚一心一意要挫败奥巴马改革 计划的共和党人。他们立即宣称，他们也反对合作社计划。而奥巴马还在那里做“两党共识”的白日 梦。
奥巴马的无原则让步使把他送进白宫的进步选民们大失所望。《纽约时报》专栏作家弗兰克.瑞奇问道：奥巴马是 否在对我们耍无赖？保罗.克鲁格曼说奥巴马已经失掉了进步人士的信任。他有必要赢回信任。鲍勃.赫伯特问道 ，放弃了“公家选项”还算医保改革吗？他说，当大公司利益跟公众利益冲突时，总是前者占绝对优势。看着医疗 保健改革的走势，哄抬药价的药物公司和掠夺成性的医疗保险公司笑逐颜开。
奥巴马扩大阿富汗战争也不得人心。据最新的《华盛顿邮报》和ABC新闻联合舆论调查，认为阿富汗战争值得打 的公众已经不到一半。七月间的的一项《纽约时报》CBS新闻联合调查表明，百分之五十七的公众认为阿富汗形 势对美国十分不利。阿富汗之对于奥巴马，犹如越南之对于约翰逊—不但战争不利，而且波及国内政策，到头来， 毁了约翰逊的总统职位。阿富汗战争会毁了奥巴马吗？
奥巴马继续为他的阿富汗政策辩护。他对国外战争退伍军人年会说，跟伊拉克战争是一场选择性战争不同；阿富汗 战争是必须打的战争。但是仍然支持这场战争的前布什政府国务院政策计划负责人，对外关系理事会总裁理查.哈 斯在《纽约时报》上写道，阿富汗战争已经成为一场选择性战争。他主张如果无法取胜，把美军撤出阿富汗不失为 一个可行的选项。奥巴马为阿富汗战争辩护的逻辑（拿“九.一一”恐袭吓唬人）跟布什的战争逻辑没有甚么两样 。
阿富汗美军司令麦克里斯朵尔原来说，塔利班已经占了上风。后来又被迫改口否认。无论如何，阿富汗战况不利。 自从2001年美国入侵阿富汗以来，美军已经阵亡七百九十六人，加上其他外国军队（主要是英国和加拿大）的 五百三十八人，北约占领军一共战死一千三百三十四人。而且阵亡人数呈直线上升趋势。去年，北约军在阿富汗阵 亡二百九十四人。今年才过了七个多月，已经有二百九十六人战死。尤以刚过去的七月份为甚。美军和外国军队共 阵亡七十五人，创月最高纪录。（阵亡数字见icasualties.org）其中许多人死于土制爆炸装置。 塔利班越来越多使用路边炸弹袭击。今年五月份共四百六十五次，比去年同月多一倍以上。参谋长联席会议主席穆 伦承认，塔利班战法越来越精明老练。阿富汗局势严重，并且在继续恶化。
整个人类历史证明，外国占领从来不受欢迎，而大多遭到被占领国家的人民殊死抵抗。为了扭转在阿富汗的不利形 势，奥巴马政府加强了争取民心的宣传战，在国务院下面设立一个专门机构，负责对阿富汗和巴基斯坦宣传。其实 这是徒劳的。最近负责公众外交和公共事务的副国务卿朱迪.麦克黑尔会见十七名巴基斯坦记者，八名非政府组织 负责人和几个政党的成员，企图说明美国关心巴基斯坦。
但是她被巴基斯坦记者安萨尔.阿巴西数落了一通。他说：“妳应该知道我们从灵魂深处恨所有的美国人。我们恨 你们。”他说，美国人不再是人，因为他们的目标是消灭别人。他们为了找到本拉登，杀了数以千计 的无辜平民。
奥巴马上任七个月，他的成绩单当然不只是医改和阿富汗战争。他和他的经济班子带着丝绒手套抚摸大公司，拿纳 税人的血汗钱为华尔街谋利益。早就引起在衰退中挣扎的普通老百姓的不满。
他还继承了布什切尼的践踏宪法，无视人身保护令，无限期关押嫌犯，不予审判；在海外绑架嫌犯，送往第三国关 押和审问；侵犯美国人民权，等等错误政策。
总之，他正在失去他的权力基础的信任。它所宣扬的“变革”已经没有多少可信度。

Obama, from bad to worse
Two weeks ago, I wrote an article entitled "Obama's dilemma", said he was the great debate in the health care reform, and are in the passive. A few days later, he was in the face of pressure from public opinion that it might give up government-run health insurance plan, claiming it was not all the medical reform plan, nor is the core, only a small part. This is just an absurd and pathetic fig leaf!
Government-run health insurance program for the competition with the private insurance companies in order to drive down medical costs. Of course, the real core of medical reform. Obama should abandon this project (so-called "common option" (public option), consider replacing non-profit cooperatives, a big step backward. Even this regression can not appease the single-minded Obama's reform plan to defeat the Republican Party people. They immediately claimed that they are opposed to co-operative program. but Obama is still there, do "bipartisan consensus" daydream.
Obama's unprincipled concessions to make the progress he was entering the White House, voters disappointed. "The New York Times" columnist Frank. Ratchet asked: whether Obama on us playing rogue? Paul. Krugman said that Obama has lost the trust of progressive people. He must win back the trust. Bob. Herbert asked to give up the "common option" is still considered the reform of medical insurance do? He said that when the big corporate interests conflict with the public interest is always the former dominant role. Looked at health care reform movement, driving up prices for drugs, drug companies and the predatory nature of the medical insurance wreathed in smiles.
Obama to expand the war in Afghanistan will be unpopular. According to the latest "Washington Post" and ABC News a joint public opinion survey that the war in Afghanistan is worth fighting has been less than half of the public. Between July of a "New York Times," CBS Press Association survey showed that 57 percent of the public that the situation in Afghanistan is very unfavorable to the United States. To Afghanistan for Obama, like Vietnam for Johnson - the war is not only harmful but also affecting the domestic policies, in the end, destroyed Johnson's presidency. Afghan war will ruin Obama do?
Barack Obama continued to defend his policy on Afghanistan. His years of veterans of foreign wars say that with the war in Iraq is a selective war are different; the war in Afghanistan is the need to fight a war. But still supported the war before the Bush Administration's head of State Department Policy Planning Council on Foreign Relations president Richard. Haas in the "New York Times" wrote, the war in Afghanistan has become a selective war. He advocated If you can not win, the withdrawal of U.S. troops in Afghanistan may well be a viable option. Barack Obama's logic to justify the war in Afghanistan (using "9. 11" terrorist attack to frighten people) with the logic of Bush's war is no different.
Doyle Maikelisi U.S. commander in Afghanistan had said that the Taliban had gained the upper hand. Later, forced changed to deny. In any case, Afghanistan fighting the negative. Since 2001, the U.S. invasion of Afghanistan since the U.S. military has killed 796 people, together with other foreign troops (mainly the United Kingdom and Canada) 538 people, NATO occupation forces killed a total of 1300 34 people. And the number of people killed in a linear upward trend. Last year, NATO forces in Afghanistan killed 294 people. This year for just over seven months, 296 people have been killed. Especially in the last July staggering. A total of U.S. and foreign troops killed 75 people, the highest on record. (Killed in action figures in icasualties.org), many of whom died from improvised explosive devices. More and more the Taliban use of roadside bomb attacks. In May this year, a total of 465 times, more than the same month last year, more than double. Joint Chiefs Chairman Mullen acknowledged that the Taliban are increasingly savvy tactics. Gravity of the situation in Afghanistan, and continues to deteriorate.
Throughout human history shows that foreign occupation has never been popular, but most of the people of occupied countries were desperate resistance. In order to reverse the adverse situation in Afghanistan, Obama the Government to strengthen the fight for the people of the propaganda war, in the State Department following the establishment of a specialized agency responsible for Afghanistan and Pakistan propaganda. In fact, this is futile. Recently in charge of public diplomacy and public affairs, Secretary of State Judy. McHale met with 17 Pakistani journalists, eight non-governmental organization leaders and members of several political parties in an attempt to explain the U.S. interest in Pakistan.
However, she was Pakistan's Ansar. Abbasi reprove a pass. He said: "You should know that hate us from the depths of the soul of all Americans. We hate you." He said, Americans are no longer a people, because their goal is to eliminate others. They are to find Osama bin Laden, kill thousands of innocent civilians.
Obama took office seven months, his report card and not just medical reform and the war in Afghanistan. He and his economic team with a velvet glove touching large companies, to take the taxpayer's hard-earned money as Wall Street's interests. Has long been struggling in an economic recession caused by the common people's dissatisfaction.
He also inherited the Bushenqieni violation of the Constitution, ignoring habeas corpus, indefinite detention of suspects without trial; kidnapped suspects abroad and sent to detention and interrogation of a third country; violation of American civil rights, and so wrong policy.
In short, he is losing his power base of trust. It advocated "change" has little credibility.
