Obama, please, don't go to the dark side.

Get ready to cheer/protest Obama

WASHINGTON — Orlando residents looking to cheer — or jeer — President Barack Obama when he comes to visit Orlando on Oct. 11 may want to stake out a spot at the downtown Sheraton, one of two spots the president plans to fundraise that day.

According to his campaign, Obama will be at the Sheraton and also at the Lake Mary home of prolific Democratic donor John Morgan, of the law firm Morgan and Morgan.

3. Yep, the second he appointed the Biggest of the Banking Crowd's friends
Into places on his economic advisory team, the deal he made to his employers was cemented.

And the patern continued, as he put Monsanto people in places of importance over our food and agriculture.

And then when the Oil Spill came about, he was quite good to BP. With his EPA approving an untested product, Corexit. This approval came about wven though people from other companies outside BP's purview knew Corexit was much worse in terms of harm to marine and human life and less efffective at cleaning up the oil than the usual products.

But Corexit helped the oil from staying on the top of the Gulf's surface. And so it allowed BP to pay far less in penalties - as most of the oil "disintegrated" to the bottom of the Gulf's floor, where the many bottom feeders consumed the oil - tainting the marine life such that there is now no market for Gulf fish, shrimp etc.

And the added bonus for BP is they owned the Corexit product - so every time it was sprayed - they receive another monetary bonus!

4. The Morgan law firm plays both sides of the political spectrum.
When asked why they do this, people are quick to defend them, saying they do it for survival. His wife is Republican and among the lawyers in his firm you'll find at least one Republican fundraiser, rainmaker, with an incredible jaded past. In my humble opinion, the man should have been disbarred ten years ago. The only way he's survived is through typical Florida networking and good ole boy politics. And now Obama is about to enter the web.
