Can it be Obama's fight against Democratic corruption?
Edited on Mon Oct-03-11 01:24 PM by Hutzpa
It is easier to see why some within the Democratic Party are using prejudice and discrimination
to Distance themselves from an effective democratic president for the past decades.

Let’s take a look at the Occupy Wall Street protest, we have just learned that JP Morgan Chase
http://www.jpmorganchase.com/corporate/Home/article/ny-13.htm has made a bribery
/donation to the police organization in order to help them fight peaceful protest/crime.

Their claim is that this will help them in the purchase of 1000 vehicles and laptops to fight crime
in New York City. (if you believe that, then I have a bridge to sell you), but that is not what I'm
upset about, what has got me more upset is the thought that New York is predominantly a democratic
state and has been voting with democrats for decades now, yet the biggest crime in America is being
perpetuated in a democratic voting state supported by democrats and enforced by democrats, (yes I can
also hear the argument being made that Republicans vote too)

New York State Assembly is dominated by democrats http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_York_State_Assembly
and most of them came from impoverish neighborhoods where most people out in the street protesting
came from, yet the state cannot produce a bill that can curtail Wall Street? Why is that?

When you look at scenarios such as this it is easier to see why it is extremely difficult to fight
corruption within the Democratic Party. In my opinion what good is it fighting corruption on the other
side when you have your very own allies supporting the very same thing you are fighting against.

It is for these reasons that I strongly believe that the push back that President Obama is facing from
Democrats is based on him fighting corruption within his own party. It is institutionalized and has
infected a lot of people that are not willing to let go of such corrupt trade.

Why not protect the people that put you in power instead of representing an organization that has no
loyalty, but to continue the destruction of the American middle class aided by democrats claiming
to represent us.

The fights got broaden.
