1. "Capitalism is great"? Perhaps once, before greed ran amok but not now. We are back in the age

of robber barons. Corporations with no concern about anything but their boards and leaders making more money. Screw the environment & the workers.

3. He talked about its downside: income inequality

And how the countries of the UN needed to attend to "the least" and to spread economic opportunity to all. Especially focusing on women.

But nobody should actually get the real gist of what he said. Just believe nine-word summaries from venomous posters. I fully expect the OPs header to become the "truth" at DU.

Clearly, I've given up. I mostly live in the reality based community these days. Don't quite know why I'm bothering to post this.

4. Thanks frazzled. I will go find his speech. I wasn't criticizing Obama, just the idea capitalism in

Its current form is great. But i sure did not make that clear.... My bad. You were right to call me out on it.

2. Yes, it was.

I missed the beginning, but he was taking a lot of people to task!
