12-12-18 Obama - 'great opportunities in the midst of the great crisis'...

The crises of the past decade were not gone to waste.  Between Bush II and Obama, the crises were exploited to incite war, killing, and descrtuction world-wide, to deprive the People of the United States of their Human Rights, to impoverish the People of the United States, and transform the United States into a third world nation by common standards (poverty, hunger, child mortality...) jz

"Rule 1: Never allow a crisis to go to waste," White House Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel told the New York Times right after the election. "They are opportunities to do big things." 

Over the weekend, Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton told members of the European Parliament, "Never waste a good crisis." 

Then President Obama explained in his Saturday radio and Internet address that there is "great opportunity in the midst of" the "great crisis" befalling America.
