Your problem is you believed that bilge water... (none / 1)

Obama was pushing at campaign time.  The bankers paid for his victory.  The banker are the ones calling the shots.

Obama wanted to be President more than anything.  People don't run for President to change things.  They run for President because they are on an ego trip.  Obama doesn't give a shit about anybody but Obama.

He made a deal with the devil (Congress's leadership) and now he has to play the hand that was dealt him.  He has what he wanted, he's the President and even the birthers can't take that away from him.

If you expect anything more or less then you don't understand politicians.  Obama isn't going to run again in 2012, the birthers will crucify him so he is free to do what he wants,  play golf, hobknob with royalty, pretend to be presidential.  He can't fix the economic crisis, Bush completely fucked that up before Obama took office.  It's going to take 10 years to fix the economy.

There it is.

Don't waste your vote, vote Green or Independent in the next election.

Ok, I am really willing to listen (none / 0)
I kind of belive that too. But how do we know that is what it is that explains his behaviour. What did he do that tipped this off. How do we know he is not just an opportunist? I am not inclined to give him the benefit of the doubt, but I want to be sure that I have read him right.

What can you tell me to understand this? That is why I posted this. I am not criticizing, but I just want to understand this. Can you give me some more info that will help me get a grip on this. I sincerely would welcome anything you could offer. Thanks for takng to reply as you have.

Cheers!

You answered your own question in your ... (none / 2)

original posting.  He hasn't done anything he promised and appears to be acting more Republican than Democrat.

He didn't support a single payer plan at all.

He gave the bankers their new regulation plan.

Healthcare reform was gutted and delayed so it will never be implemented.

He is cutting taxes.

He has increased US troops in Afghanistan to support the drug trade and neo-con agenda.

He has left Robert Gates as Sec Def.

He has ignored the military and followed neo-con advice.

Rahm Emmanuel is his chief of staff.

He fired liberals for mere infractions and ignores conservatives gross mistakes.

He gave the bankers more than $5 trillion when you throw in the money for Freddie.

He is giving more money to the bankers when they are swimming in cash.

In short, he works for Wall Street.

In short he works for Wall Street.

Don't waste your vote, vote Green or Independent in the next election.

Great tune.... (none / 0)
we should start every progressive campaign with this and end with "We get fooled again."

Don't waste your vote, vote Green or Independent in the next election.
