When you see Obama "getting tough" with Wall Street, just remember it is not Obama taking on the oligarchs. It is merely his oligarch backers picking which oligarchs are the winners, and which are the losers.
Some heads will roll, no doubt. Just don't confuse that with revolution. It is a smoke screen. |

Sorry Cali, I knew that article would be upsetting to you. Maybe it is something that you and Tex can actually join forces on in condemning.

Obama has taken a big step forward by detaching Wall Street's welfare from main street and by recognizing that finance-led growth cannot lead to true prosperity. But still. The election business is nonsense, Waters' imagination is quite amazing.

Only a socialist who fellates Obama would see hyperbole in your post.

Obama is Cali's savior. And apparently Chino's too. The two parties simply listen to different parts of the oligarchy. The author's take on how nobody will really squeeze those who should is spot on. The truth is, Obama plays for the team and the Dems can't afford to not play ball with the oligarchs as they are bigger than anybody. LSAT/ACT problem Cali is to the Dems and Obama, and Tex was to _______. a) Dems and Obama b) Reps and Bush c) Reps and McCain.
