Repeating time                                                                                     

  They say history always repeats itself. History maybe repeating its self right now, President Barrack Obama our 44th president, our youngest president, and our first black president is in almost the same position has our 26th president Theodore Roosevelt. Roosevelt also the youngest president of his time at 43 years old was almost overthrown while in its second year in office. There are two similarities, one possibility, and one group of people involved in both presidents terms.  

    To start both presidents was elected in to office under the same circumstances, in the middle of a war. Both presidents came into office during a debatable war. Roosevelt was World War one and Obama is unfortunately is in the middle of The Iraq War. Both wars created a bad economy casing a depression.

Roosevelt tried to balance the interests of farmers, workers, and businesspeople. He also preferred continuous regulation of giant corporations. To translate this in to modern day Obama is trying to balance the interests of the poor, middle, and small businesses. Obama also prefers regulations and raised taxes on the rich and large corporations. Raising taxes and regulations did not sit right with large corporations in the 20th or 21st century.

    Corporations in the 20th and 21st century used the poor to do their dirty work for them. In the early 90s, Singer Sewing supported nervous solders to try to overthrow President Roosevelt and replace him with a dictator. They would use unemployed World War I veterans has their power. They chose Douglas MacArthur title a great general in American history to lead the soldiers and to be the successor of Roosevelt if over thrown. The people trying to overthrow FDR saw that Douglass would be easy to control and he would get the support of the veterans.

     Douglass often got in trouble when he publicly criticized Roosevelt’s foreign forums. Douglass later retires from his military duty and takes up being a professional speaker. Protected by the constitution Douglas was able to speak more freely about more subjects.

    The Koch brother’s owner of bounty paper towels has given the teabag movement and the war against 

Obama over hundred million dollars to the tea party movement alone. The Koch brothers are much like Singer Sewing; Sara Palin is the modern day Douglas MacArthur, and the tea baggers are the soldiers. Sara Palin easily controlled acting as the face of the tea bag movement while big power and corporations are controlling behind the scene. The only different thing about Palin and Douglas is that Douglas McArthur questioned who was trying to control him.
