Cindy Sheehan Protests Against Obama War Policy-Ignored By Media-UPDATED

Remember Cindy Sheehan? She won national media attention for camping outside President Bush’s Crawford Texas Ranch protesting Bush’s war policies. She’s back, this time calling for protests against what is now Obama’s war, and taking members of the anti-war movement to task for putting party politics over peace.

sheehan“Many elements of the anti-war movement have stood down cause Obama is President, and that shows me that some elements in the anti-war movement are more concerned with the Democratic Party than really bringing true peace.” Cindy Sheehan

The anti-war protest Sheehan called for actually happened in Washington March 21, 2009, but received scant attention in the American media. This plays to Sheehan’s point that many are more concerned with the Democratic Party’s agenda than actually ending the war. Here is an excerpt from a news outlet in China that did cover it. Notice the lack of Obama signs:

It was also covered here in the Washington Times.

Bush Redux? As President Obama looks less and less like campaigner Obama, criticism has been mounting. Though much of it has been dismissed as the ranting of the Right Wing, many moderates are becoming disillusioned with Obama’s unexpected Federal power grab and crazy spending. The Left Wing is also getting in on the act as Obama’s war policy looks more and more like President Bush’s.

Update: Obama to send 4000 more troops to Afghanistan

obamaWASHINGTON – President Barack Obama on Friday ordered 4,000 more military troops into Afghanistan, vowing to “disrupt, dismantle and defeat” the terrorist al-Qaida network in Afghanistan and neighboring Pakistan……..

…….Obama called the mountainous border region of Afghanistan and Pakistan “the most dangerous place in the world.”

“This is not simply an American problem — far from it,” Obama said. “It is, instead, an international security challenge of the highest order. Terrorist attacks in London and Bali were tied to al-Qaida and its allies in Pakistan, as were attacks in North Africa and the Middle East, in Islamabad and Kabul. If there is a major attack on an Asian, European, or African city, it, too, is likely to have ties to al-Qaida’s leadership in Pakistan.”

The president added: “The safety of people around the world is at stake.”

  2. Republicrat says:

    It is amazing that nobody heard of this. Why was it kept so quiet?

  3. David Hinz says:

    I pride myself on staying informed, and this is the first I have heard about it. Thanks.

  4. Thomas B says:

    No one I know has heard anything of this. The double standard is apalling.

  5. Daniel says:

    Hey everyone I am getting tired of this bullshit that is going on in Washington. Ever since the new president has come into order there has been nothing but bad economic plans and more spending. What is the idea behind spending more of what we don’t have. Its like looking at personal finance of your own money. Why on earth would you spend more money when you are already in debt. I am a college graduate from a major university and have now been on over two months and cannot get a job. EXPLAIN THAT OBAMA!!!!

  6. Daniel says:

    I am also thinking of staging a protest against the current economic plan and what is going on in this country. I am thinking of traveling to Washington and sitting in front of the capital and asking why I don’t have a job??? What is happening to this country, every day I see more people on welfare checks who if given the chance could work and yet the country keeps adding to the fire. Give me some feedback I would like to know if there are people out there willing to set up another tea party!!!!

  7. Bruce Smith says:

    Wake up America!
