O kowtows to his own 1%

Answer the points in the post rather than throwing a rock.
Obama is a narcissist with obsessive ambition. And as with any ambitious narcissist - they do not see or appreciate the importance of connecting with other people. Nor do they want to to the actual work of a position - they just want to hold the position.
Obama is stuck in the "Presidential bubble". He goes through the motions of a President far more than BEING a President. He doesn't lead, he doesn't consult, he travels and collects money.

Oh hyperbolic bullshit. Well except the collecting money part.

And "Citizen's United" guaranteed that part and parcel of the job is raising funds.

I think they had high hopes they could just walk in and buy the election without interference.

Well they are trying.

The first part is done. Wealth has unmitigated access to media..anonymously.

Second part is voter suppression. Along with drying up Democratic donors..mainly Unions.

Plutocratic Oligarchy..here we come!

I guess it's better to try to buy it than to steal it, with fraudulent votes from illegal aliens.

So Obama listens to the pro-business types? While being anti-business?

Man..you guys got some interesting talking points.

Corporate profits are at record highs while corporate tax revenues are far below the historic average. For a committed socialist, he's pretty bad at it.

Well lets see the numbers. And yeah GE paid ZERO tax (friend's of Obama's hmmmma and a company with a HUGE interest in BIG government, well well)
My point is Sallow and you and all these libs, talk about how evil corporations and rich people are yet he sure does hang around and listen to alot of them, that MIGHT be a touch hypocritical, just sayin)

Again..it's not a good or evil thing.

It's an assets vs. liabilities thing.

You guys think in biblical terms.

We have a tendency to be less focused on fantasy.

Obama is bought and paid for by corporate interests.

Sallow is on here pretending otherwise, just like republicans pretend their politicians aren't.

Nothing new here. Politicians put those who bribe them over us lowly citizens, Obama included.

What led you to believe that?

As for bought and paid for? Sure..but his agenda includes building up the middle class. Same with Clinton. Which in the long run is like cod liver oil for the wealthy..they don't want to take it..but it's good for them.

And in any case..this is the result most of you wanted..when you determined that money is speech.

Like it?

Building up the middle class by passing Obamacare which benefits big pharma, big insurance and big drug companies the most. Building up the middle class by using american taxpayer dollars to give to green tech companies owned by his billionaire pals only to quickly go under.

No, he's bought off by big oil, big banks, big insurance etc, so he's acting in their interests. Don't you act in the interests of who pays you at your job?

Which President would sign a bill limiting the amount of corporate and special interest money in our political system?

I don't think it would be Willard.

Not sure Obama would either, he gets a lot of special interest money.

I thought that repubs knew that Obama has to raise funds to compete with the ultra corporatist Mitts.

Pub 1%ers are greedy, polluting, screw the workers, add a layer of speculators, a-holes. DUH.

You're crazy if you think Big Health, Oil, and Pharma love being regulated...Only 2 of 38 Tech projects have gone under, dupes. It's called keeping the USA competitive in new industries. Pubs are just greedy and incompetent.
