The title could apply to my own mother perhaps, but it is a quote from this bio video about Barrack Obama: President's Biography
Well here we are a few years later. Where is the son of, in the President's words, the single constant in the President's life.
I ask, sincerely, what would Ann think of predator drone strikes against American citizens without trial, the holding of prisoners without trial, force feeding political prisoners participating in hunger strikes, wholesale undermining of the Bill of Rights by systematic, comprehensive spying on every person on the planet, the prosecution of whistelblowers with the harshest means available, the debasement of international law by subversion of the Geneva Convention, piddling away the last chance to counterbalance global warming, embracing the destruction of a free press in America, the strong arming of our Allies to violate international laws and common decency to attempt to apprehend a conscientious objector to the encroaching fascism in America, the abandonment of the America's youth by suppression of the Occupy movement and the allowing tuition rates and loan rates to increase, the protection of war criminals and wall street banker thieves and allowing the planet to slide into climatic crisis to avoid political inconvenience.
I know my own Mother would be appalled at the erosion in our democracy that has occurred in the last few hundred days.
What about Ann?
What would she think?
