He is not. This is what the man IS.

And he wants to destroy the Great Society and New Deal to bail out his Wall Street backers for having ruined the economy.

Just four days before his inauguration in January 2009, a Washington Post headline blared, “Obama Pledges Entitlement Reform,” and detailed “a wide-ranging 70 minute interview with Washington Post reporters and editors,” in which the president-elect endorsed efforts by congressional Republicans, and “the Blue Dog Coalition of fiscally conservative Democrats,” to cut Social Security and Medicare. A small group of progressives were disturbed at what their friends in Congress were leaking to them about Obama’s commitment to doing this, and a few blog posts were issued to ring alarm bells publicly about it.

People here can deny it all they want, but truth is truth.

In 2016, if we still have a country, I expect another puppet to be picked for the Democratic nomination.

It's all a win-win for the financial elites in this country, while it is a lose-lose for everybody else.
