74. She has hit DIRECTLY on Obama administration doublespeak.

Thu Nov 20, 2014, 08:16 PM

Nov 2014

Obama says he wants a certain policy to be more populist---But he appoints CORPORATISTS
again and again, as with Geitner in Finance, Wheeler at FCC and Duncan in Education.

And now this.

Obama seems unmistakeably dishonest in this way---He repeatedlyTALKS sort of populist upfront, firing up the base temporarily,
but APPOINTS CORPORATISTS NEARLY EVERY TIME.

This does not constitute honesty, IMO.

Obama TALKS for The People, BUT...
ACTS for the Corps and banks. Repeatedly.

.....................................................................................................................................................

Warren is right-on.

Obama is wrong as can be.
