It’s amazing how the politicians try refocus our attention from Wall Street crooks, unemployment, etc. Sure Osama Bin Laden is big news, but we can’t blame him for everything.

• Osama Bin Laden didn’t cause the mortgage crisis.

• Osama Bin Laden didn’t foreclose on folks and kick them out of their homes.

• Osama Bin Laden didn’t ship our jobs to China and Mexico.

• Osama Bin Laden didn’t tell us Iraq had weapons of mass destruction.

• Osama Bin Laden didn’t cause the after-tax incomes for the top 1 percent to raise by 281 percent.

• Osama Bin Laden didn’t make us cut spending on food for pregnant women and their children.

• Osama Bin Laden didn’t propose to put Medicare in the hands of insurance companies.

• Osama Bin Laden didn’t tell General Electric they didn’t need to pay taxes.

• Osama Bin Laden didn’t invent off-shore tax shelters.

• Osama Bin Laden didn’t cause our unemployment problem.

• Osama Bin Laden didn’t keep us from prosecuting Wall Street crooks.

Are you getting the picture?

Yes Osama Bin Laden was a terrorist and I’m happy he’s out of the picture, but I suggest we might be straining the gnat and swallowing the camel when it comes to putting too much focus on folks like Osama Bin Laden and allowing our home grown pseudo patriot over paid corporate CEO’s and corporate stooge politicians to re-distribute our wealth to the top 1 percent.

Osama Bin Laden didn’t really need to attack America because our own home grown pseudo patriot over paid corporate CEO’s and corporate stooge, draft dodging politicians already had a plan to destroy America and we are seeing the results of their plan come to fruition.
