My disillusionment came later, when I became convinced I'd been conned and the attempt to capture Bin Laden had been dropped in favor of the President embarking on an undisclosed agenda. Here's a list of other recent presidents who pulled major con jobs on the American people: Kennedy-- phony Cuban crisis, Bay of Pigs, Nam, assassination of Diem, election fraud; Nixon--election fraud, criminal conspiracy, Cambodian bombings, phony peace plan; Reagan: refusal to act on aids, Iran-contra, sponsorship of death squads in South America; Clinton-- phony civil rights activist, phony civil liberties advocate, phony supporter of the working class.
I also think that LBJ probably had a hand in a number of outrageous acts/cons that history will eventually nail him for; and that the elder Bush had a background in racism he was able to submerge, as well as a connection for the Saudis that has had a huge effect on our world-- but these things are yet to be established.
Suffice it to say, I'm tired of being suckered by Commanders in Chief and am quite ready to call our current miscreant to account.
Every president since Truman has made some sort of deal with the Saudi's (oil).
