In the last Presidential election, this country overwhelmingly voted to put Obama into the Whitehouse. However, there were a group of people, who were discerning enough, to see through the haze of fancy words, campaign promises and therefore subsequently voted again him.
Now as it turned out, it appears as if we were right. Obama poll numbers have been sinking faster than The Titanic. His stimulus plan was poorly executed. And he is having trouble selling his healthcare plan. There is growing discontentment with the Obama administration, even within his own party.
Is this starting to be a case of, "I told you so"?
1) ALL partisans are witting or unwitting agents working toward the destruction of the nation. All of them deserve tarring and feathering, none of them deserve reprieve.
2) Obama received nearly a $million from Goldman Sachs in campaign contributions. His largest donor. Yet still a small fraction of what Goldman's elite bonusees received.
3) Goldman Sachs received special attention from this and the previous admin in two very important ways: First the "save the banks first" approach to the econ crisis did indeed save the banks that were "too big (as donors) to fail". But those banks didn't resume commercial lending, they re embarked into even more speculative investing, which is what caused the financial crisis. While the real goods and services economy burned and is still burning.
And the democratic congress ( who received an additional $4.45 million from Goldman Sachs) coupled with Obama, assisted Goldman Sachs in inflating the next bubble in the economy:
Inside The Great American Bubble Machine : Rolling Stone
"Fast-forward to today. It's early June in Washington, D.C. Barack Obama, a popular young politician whose leading private campaign donor was an investment bank called Goldman Sachs — its employees paid some $981,000 to his campaign — sits in the White House. Having seamlessly navigated the political minefield of the bailout era, Goldman is once again back to its old business, scouting out loopholes in a new government-created market with the aid of a new set of alumni occupying key government jobs.
Gone are Hank Paulson and Neel Kashkari; in their place are Treasury chief of staff Mark Patterson and CFTC chief Gary Gensler, both former Goldmanites. (Gensler was the firm's co-head of finance.) And instead of credit derivatives or oil futures or mortgage-backed CDOs, the new game in town, the next bubble, is in carbon credits — a booming trillion- dollar market that barely even exists yet, but will if the Democratic Party that it gave $4,452,585 to in the last election manages to push into existence a groundbreaking new commodities bubble, disguised as an "environmental plan," called cap-and-trade. The new carbon-credit market is a virtual repeat of the commodities-market casino that's been kind to Goldman, except it has one delicious new wrinkle: If the plan goes forward as expected, the rise in prices will be government-mandated. Goldman won't even have to rig the game. It will be rigged in advance."
Yes that's right, carbon credits are the next bubble economy that Goldman Sachs will profit on immensely. At the direct expense of every American. It's gas price gouging gone federal.
I mean, sure, Goldman Sachs is on a par with both political partisans and Beelzebub.
But the democrats are on that same plane, and Obama ain't much better.
He could be if he only had a spine. But when it comes to advancing single payer or doing anything he promised he would do he just proves once again that democrats are spineless.
I wish Obama had kept half his promises. I would have loved to really respect his presidency.
But he left me once he won the election. He's as typically useless as all politicians are today. Which places him on par with fresh dogshit stuck between the lugs on your boots and you just seated yourself in the truck.
Seriously left wing partisans, I wish Obama would have been half of what he said he would be, change and all that. But reality is that dems are every bit as destructive to America as the repubs have been.
And that's quite a statement!
Poor Guy.
