"What do you mean "we", white man?"

As the old joke goes about the Lone Ranger and Tonto when the Lone Ranger said to Tonto, "Looks like we are surrounded by the Injuns, Tonto"...

So it must feel with the Lone Ranger we now have in the White House? Former CIA Director Bob Gates and long-time Republican is now the Secretary of Defense. Former General in Iraq, David Petraeus, is now in charge of the entire Central Command, including the combat operations in Afghanistan. Even the present CIA Director, Leon Panetta, was a former Republican.

The drone bombings in Pakistan are not coming from the office of the Lone Ranger in the White House. The military tribunal decisions did not come from the White House. The CIA is not a Democratic organization.

Even the economic decisions are being made by former big shots of the Republican persuasion. Timothy Geithner is no Democrat. He was the former head of the New York Federal Reserve Bank. The Fed is still being run by Bernanke, a Bush appointee. The Lone Ranger is surrounded by people that cannot be trusted to operate in the interests of the people. But he said he was going to put Republicans in his Cabinet, and he did. We are surrounded by those "Injuns"...
