Yeah obviously he's not going to get ousted in a Primary.
They might hold their noses and vote for him but they won't drop everything and work for him like they did in 08.
He is rumoured to have amassed a war-chest of nigh on a billion dollars mind... what a coincidence that the Wall Street bankers got their bonuses.
I have no doubt that President Obama has collected an enormous amount for his campaign. When I went to see him speak at Bowie State College, a tiny school, back when he helped raise money for the democrat mid-term races (2005) - he spoke about amounts of the millions of dollars as if it were chump-change.
Not long after that, Obama and McCain co-authoured a piece of legislation to reform campaign finance. The bill amounted to nothing after it got shredded by congress. The Washington Post tagged it as meaningless legislation...
His chatting up the crowd the way he had and walking away from the campaign finance thing with no fight in him, it gave me the impression that he is a good bullshitter with a hunger for money and power like the rest of the politicians.
Oh... I need to interrupt my comment to apologise to Red Dreams: I know you wanted me to return to the CE to help defend Obama, but he doesn't leave much to defend.
Yeah, you're absolutely dead-on Plech. President Obama didn't go after AIG. In fact, Sen. Dodd went down holding the bag on that deal, in order to silence media. The Rolling Stone Magazine journalist Matt Taibbi has outlined in several ways that Obama quickly shifted to the dark-side of the lobbyist/corporate interest, it spun the heads of the campaign crew that got him into office.
It's business as usual I'm sure: The Wall Street bankers, the joke of an 'Afordable Care Act' that favor the insurance industry, and it is likely that private military industry have been flying under the radar with Iraq still on and Afghanistan's conflict with no end in sight.
I am already feeling the rumbles of the Obama money kicking into gear. Marcos of Dailykos now has a satelite radio program bashing progressives in defence of Obama. All throughout the internet there are teams of pro-Obama thugs jumping on conversations like a pack of rabid dogs.
It's more than domestic money, as well. As I've predicted ~ Obama is going to roll out the Clinton agenda soon. Remember NAFTA and GATT and Fast-Track... the foriegn money now have loop-holes the size of the New York harbor to benefit candidates like Obama ~ so, Obama team is now turning on the 'Open for Business' sign with the following developement:
Quote from The Business Insider website:
His top economic advisor, Gene Sperling, is pushing for him to pursue things like tax breaks for corporations that hire.
Snooze.
On the other hand, his political folks like David Plouffe and Bill Daley want him to pursue pragmatic, passable policies like free trade deals and better protections for patent-holders. Supposedly the premise is that these issues appeal to independent voters. This can't possibly be real. If there's an independent, undecided voter out there who will tip towards Obama because he gets a free trade deal with Korea passed in the next year, please show him to us.
A Devastating Look At Obama's Economic Policy Strategy
Money from India and other countries he went to go visit, recently will be funneling money in by the 10's of millions.
Summary: Obama and his team are going to feck the American workers even harder than before because the few jobs that remain will be sold off to the highest bidder. His team is cashing in by sacrificing more American jobs so that he can get enough favor from the business community to stay in the White House for another term. ~ all the while traveling the countryside saying he wants more jobs for Americans.
It's poetry, I tell ya'.
but here is the crazy part... it's either a Judas in Obama or a Batshit Bachman type.
