Krugman What happened to the inspirational figure his supporters thought they elected? Who is this bland, timid guy who doesn’t seem to stand for anything in particular? Au contraire. Obama fought ferociously hard to give the big banks whatever they want, whether that be huge bailouts, changing the accounting rules for them and [...] The president with no past: Part II About the first thing Obama did upon becoming president was issue an executive order sealing all his previous records. Golly, now why would he do that? It’s almost like he has something to hide. The president with no past Obama’s parents, maternal grandparents and stepfather – [...] With liberals currently foaming at the mouth about the Koch brothers, Bought and Paid For; The Unholy Alliance between Obama and Wall Street, by Charles Gasparino becomes even more significant. The book details how Obama was backed by Wall Street very early in the 2008 election and with much more money than they’d ever [...] From Steve Hynd at Newshoggers Crowley had called Mannings detention, naked and in solitary confinement, “ridiculous and counterproductive and stupid”. Which it is. It’s also criminal. I will not be supporting Obama’s re-election bid. Ditto. Matt Damon, who narrated “Inside Job” which is about about the banksters and the frauds perpetrated on the country and who originally was a huge Obama supporter, now says Obama has “rolled over to Wall Street completely.” He should read Charles Gasparino’s “Bought and Paid For.

Obama got elected. That’s what really ended the anti-war movement, which at its peak brought millions into the streets worldwide in opposition to the [...] Fear not banksters, Obama will be sending you many billions more So implies Obama, in the WSJ where he mandates that foolish regulations will be henceforth banished to the netherworld. Observers are unclear as to whether this includes regulations he has in fact ushered in himself. Look, dumb and stupid regulations can indeed be [...] Cartoon by Martin Rowson for the British political zine, Tribune via casadelogo.typepad.com At the White House on Dec. 15, business executives asked President Obama for a tax holiday that would help them tap more than $1 trillion of offshore earnings, much of it sitting in island tax havens. Executives including John T. Chambers [...] Obama has made it clear that, for the most part, his administration isn’t seriously interested in deploying this massive grass-roots list – which was once heralded as a force that could reshape politics as we know it – to fight for sweeping legislative change.
