63. Okay what if I concede and stae that the Congess IS INDEED the problem.

Well ya know what? In that case, if Mr Obama really wanted to provide stability instead of disaster for the middle class, then perhaps Mr Obama shouldn't have given the Chief of Staff position to one Rahm Emanuel to reward Rahm for all "his hard work." It was this hard work of Rahm's back in the mid 2000's when he flew around the nation and saw to it that it was ALWAYS the more conservative Dem candidates that got the sponsorship of the party. And it was Rahm who that discouraged and prevented progressive Dems from having a chance at running for office on the Democratic ticket. So instead we got ourselves a Congressional majority in the House circa Jan 2009 -but so many of the crucial players were people like my Congressman, Mike Thompson, who believe that Single Payer HC is socialism and that Social Security needs to be ruined in order to be saved.

My point in mentioning the above is to point out the Obama pattern - he doesn't fight for the middle class. Rather he rewards those who have worked the hardest to rid the Democratic Party of any remaining vestiges that remind us it was once the party of FDR, Kennedy and Jonson.

BTW, the Department of Justice has plenty of money. Plenty of it. Oodles and oodles and oodles of money. And unfortunately Obama appointed a man, Eric Holder, (he who had once defended Death Squad members), that man runs our DOJ currently. And while California could not get any loans to stave off the financial ruin brought about by the Big Bankers, as Tim Geithner stated that such loans would be a disaster for the nation's deficit, Mr Holder has plenty of money to spend on people coming here and harassing med marijuana smokers, their clinics, dispensaries etc.

So while HSBC has been out there laundering the drug cartels' monies, despite the violence of those cartels, and socking away billions in profits, without so much as a slap on the hand of any HSBC executive, the people in California watcheda s 6,000 good paying jobs were destroyed, clinics and dispensaries were closed down, and one very decent man from the Central Valley was sentenced to ten years for his crime of doing as we the California voters had asked: keep a medical marijuana dispensary up and running in the Central Valley.
