In reply to the discussion: Paul Krugman: In Defense of Obama (Rolling Stone) [View all]Dustlawyer
(10,539 posts)15. I will acknowledge what Krugman says, but what he didn't say was Obama is owned by the
financial interests, look no further than his selling out the BP oil spill victims. He knew Feinberg was hand picked by BP but went along with calling him "Independant" and blessing the imaginary "20 billion dollar fund" while at the same time giving BP control over the Coast Guard. The CG sprayed the Corexit for BP! In 4 1/2 years the victims are still being screwed, BP has a lock on the media, the Gulf is worse, and Obama is nowhere to be found!

True, but the President's under the radar reforms include trucks, buses, and SUV's.
