It does not surprise me in the least.
I have always suspected Obama is part of the problem, not a change for something better.
I truly hope I am wrong, because I voted for him.
The reason is this:
Look at the back of a dollar bill
It says Federal Reserve System
How many of you know that system is privately owned?
How many of you know that the Federal Reserve System is controlled by a few banks and a handful of very rich people?
How many of you know that the chairman of the Federal Reserve System is probably the most powerful man on the planet?
The Federal Reserve System controls our money supply
Prints our money
Interest rates
encourages you to be in debt
lends money to our government while you the tax payer are paying interest on that debt.
That our money is not backed by anything tangible, such as gold or silver, but only backed with a promise.
In short, they control just about every aspect of your life, your money, your credit cards, your mortgage, your car loan, student loans, your retirment, etc.
Including having their hands in getting us involved in money making wars.
The smartest thing I ever did was chose to live debt free about 20 years ago. It is amazing how much of our money is eaten up by the Federal Reserve System, and how much more disposable income I had because I made the right choice.
