O kowtows to his own 1%

[Sallow]

Yeah, you pretty much owned yourself. Trying to back out of this just makes you look worse.

Um..no.

I didn't introduce anything about being "bad" or "good".

That would be the response to the post.

So I ain't walking anything back.

And I look forward to your response to this post being some sort of insult..

Yes, you were hoist by your own petard~

Why, then, exactly do you want to introduce one party rule into this nation?

It really doesn't work...you know.

I don't like oligarchies..and I think people should have a choice.

Why are you against that?

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.

Ok Sallow...I could just as easily say you post is hyperbolic.
Let's go quickly thru some points in his past...

1) He wrote an autobiography at age 29 before he had accomplished anything at all...who does that?
2) Despite everyone around him telling him both the timing and the chance of winning a congressional run against a VERY popular opponent - he lost in a landslide and placed his family in precarious debt. He opened a campaign office and hired a couple staff members without telling anyone - including his wife (reportedly). - again I ask - who does this?
3) He spent several years trying to fufilll a dream of organizing area churches in South Chicago to form a powerful political force - with him at the top - he is not religious, and had no connections with area churches at the time - again - who does this? And what kind of person thinks they could accomplish this?
4) As a lecturer at UC he did not attend faculty events, according to his peers never asked for advice, rarely met with other staff members. Interviews with staff members - all said basically the same thing. - students love him, but I don't really know him. - who does this? Who works for 12 years and never connects with his peers?

5) He flat out abandoned and ignores all of the folks in Chicago that he spent years with. His personal physician, his mentors, pastors, lawyers etc. etc. etc. - who does that?

Plenty of authors have written autobiographies. Plenty of people have failed spectacularly before a success. And what makes you think Obama is not religious? And why wouldn't he get involved with organizations that help the poor..if that's his agenda? Personally, I've done work with the Red Cross, God's Love We Deliver and other religious organizations and I'm an atheist. And this is relevant how?

This is the problem with you guys..you get into some really non-sequitur stuff and try to relate it to public performance.

Then you get mad when the other side does it.

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

Man..you guys got some interesting talking points.

as u can see his being anti business totally stops him from accepting their money.

 

[asaratis]

Likely Obama will have at least one official meeting on each expensive trip to have dinner with the stars...so he can have the whole trip paid for by the taxpayers as "official business" rather than make his campaign fund suffer for the cost of his incessant campaigning.

Obama...the worst that has EVER occupied the White House.

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.

LOL is right! I hardly call the Hollywood types business types- but I digress- the hypocrisy of his hanging with the 1% and claiming the private sector is doing fine is more out of touch then the young adult out on his own for the first time. But 150 fundraisers- wow the stamina of all that hob-nobbing is impressive.

Warren Buffet is a hollywood type?

Really? What film did he act in or direct?

And are you saying hollywood isn't a business?

Hollywood is our top export industry. People should like that.

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.

 

[Polk]

As for comparing Obama to previous presidents, how many of them were running in a world of unlimited corporate spending on elections?

An equal opportunity cynic, at least. And Citizens United is only going to make it worse.

Which is something the right NEVER addresses. The also never address the fact that taxes haven't gone up..or that new ones haven't been introduced.

They also never address the fact that tax cuts didn't lead to higher wages or more hiring. What they led to was corporate executives cutting bigger checks for themselves.

Amazing..isn't it?

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?

Admitting those things would require admitting their ideology is wrong.

 

[Katzndogz]

Business tries to buy favor with obama in the futile hope that he really isn't interested in destroying them. They are optimistically wrong. obama is an economic scorched earth guy.

 

[Sallow]

Admitting those things would require admitting their ideology is wrong.

Basically..it's a fantasy agenda.

Business generally, overall, does worse under conservative administrations.

But money does pool upward.

Weird how average people (aka consumers) doing better means businesses as enterprises do better.

Well it's kinda like plumbing.

If water is flowing everywhere your faucets work better and the pipes don't burst.

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

Wait so you're saying listening to the 1% amounts to listening to buisnessmen and that is good? Did I read that correctly?

Good or bad has no bearing on the meme that Obama is anti-business.

Unless you are Solyndra, GM or GE, he is all for them.

But the lowly middle class is doing so well, Obama said it... So it HAS to be true.
