It's important to post the public statement of Tim Thomas so everyone knows what he said:
"I believe the Federal government has grown out of control, threatening the Rights, Liberties, and Property of the People.
This is being done at the Executive, Legislative, and Judicial level. This is in direct opposition to the Constitution and the Founding Fathers vision for the Federal government.
Because I believe this, today I exercised my right as a Free Citizen, and did not visit the White House. This was not about politics or party, as in my opinion both parties are responsible for the situation we are in as a country. This was about a choice I had to make as an INDIVIDUAL.
This is the only public statement I will be making on this topic. TT"

It's nice to know that that there is at least one pro athlete with a brain who actually has an interest in the way his nation is governed. Most probably don't give a shit about the management of the country just as long as they get their million dollar paychecks and you keep coming to their games. A totalitarian government is YOUR problem, not theirs.
Thomas' statement is an indictment not just of Obama - but of your entire political system which operates under one-party rule (demopubs). You fools who argue on behalf of the democrat or republican parties have fallen right into their trap. No matter who your president is nothing will change. Wall Street will continue to rape you financially, as will the government unions. You are mere serfs and your purpose in life is to please the oligarchs.
Go back and watch some of Obama's 2008 campaign videos. He told you that he would protect you from the Wall Street thugs. He told you that he would restore your freedoms and liberties. And in the last 3 years he has continued to bail out Wall Street and indefinitely extended the Patriot Act and signed NDAA.
Thank you, Tim Thomas. You are a man of principle and honor, sir.
