(13,409 posts)Obama provided a MASSIVE bailout to Wall St. with pretty much no strings attached while homeowners didn't receive even 1% of what Wall St. did. Homeowners are still struggling, but Wall St. is doing pretty damned good with all that NSA money given to them.
Obama has given the health insurance industry a HUGE gift as well, he's mandated coverage for everyone while doing almost nothing to control costs, not even a watered down public option so that health insurers might actually have to provide something relatively approaching value. So everyone is now forced to purchase health insurance, but the ones who most need it now, typically can't even afford to use it.
These are actions of a corporatist. If you're so blind as to not see it, don't blame me. Just keep up with your cheerleading.
