In reply to Badtux. Oh, yeah, I'm sure that Karl and Fred would have voted to bail out Wall Street, rather than letting it crash because of its uncontrolled greed :twisted:

Y’know, I’ve never heard of people like Tim Geithner (Goldman Sachs), Michael Froman (Citigroup), Lewis Alexander (Citigroup), Diana Farrell (Goldman Sachs)… heck, the entire Obama economic team… described as “socialists and Chicago mobsters” before. They seem more like crony capitalists from Wall Street to me. Funny how suddenly they mutate into “socialists and Chicago mobsters” amongst right-wing hyperventilators the moment they quit working for Wall Street and start working for Obama ;). Just another example of right-wing Obama Derangement Syndrome, I suppose…

Yeah, right. I voted Green, not Democrat, on the Presidential line, because I know a Republican when I see one.

Obama has never, in his entire political record, voted for anything that was left of center – nothing, zero, zip, nada, ничево.

He was raised by his grandmother, a bank executive, and attended the best prep school in Hawaii, and attended Ivy League universities. He worked as an editor for a financial news service before attending Harvard Law.

He is a Democrat only because of that is the party identification of the Chicago political machine, and that machine was the quickest road to the top.

News flash for you, Bush had a Republican Congress, and things got so bad that the Democrats carried everything. Bush could have gotten Kyoto approved if you had wanted, but he didn’t want to, because he was an oil company executive.

Copenhagen is more smoke and mirrors because Obama wouldn’t/couldn’t lead, and has no firm convictions about much of anything.

Obama refused to enter into the formation of the bill. He made the decision to have it done this way, and he got what he wanted, a gift to corporations. He isn’t just the President, he is the nominal leader of the Democratic Party, but he refuses to lead.

Those of us who saw this early are normally labeled as racists, because too many can’t get their minds around the reality that skin color is irrelevant in politics: it’s the recorded votes that count. Rhetoric is meaningless; again, it’s the way people vote that matters. Obama votes like a moderate to conservative Republican.
