39. spare me
He wanted exactly the Health Insurance Reform that he got. He gave away public option behind closed doors, before even sitting down to the negotiating table and while his PR people were ostensibly pushing for it. He chose his economic team and he chose to ignore all advice to the contrary. He wanted the smaller stimulus; didn't even try for one large enough to actually help. He chose to extend W's worst policies, and added in assassinating citizens without due process, based on suspician. He extended spying on citizens.

He did differentiate himself from W in one way. When the state attorneys general tried to stop the bankster mortgage fraud early on, W quashed it, saying it banks are federal juridiction, not states.

Now that millions of people have lost their homes and everything, millions more are at risk, and the fraud is blatant and in all our faces, Obama has finally chosen to distinguish himself from W by saying it's a state problem, not federal.

Links not needed. This stuff has been hashed to death and all over DU for months, and you know it. :eyes:
