as long as Obama keeps kneeling down in front of fortune 500, this will continue.

Instead of investment in jobs creation, we have more war, more blood from innocents. Democratic leadership happily escalated this.

We gave the rich tax credits, we are negotiating free trade agreements. Geithner promised India outsourcing will continue.

Instead of holding Wall Street accountable for world wide disaster, we break apart teacher unions, cut their wages, spend tax money building school corporations with CEOs who skim off all of the cash and beat down the staff.

We let corporations write public health policy.

Our banking reform proposal is a neutered bit of political theater.

And we capitulate to the right wing of both parties. Liberals are scorned and shut out of the debate.

The right wing knows Obama is weak because he is "bi-partisan" an academic above principals and ethics, always seeking the most expedient route to avoid conflict. Wing nuts think all they have to do is apply some pressure and he will cave in. For the most part they are correct.

We are dead as a democratic republic and are operating in a new form of fascism or feudalism where (as someone pointed out) if I make my lords happy by working 14 hours a day, I get limited health care and a place to live and a chance to die with a huge amount of debt owed to the banks.
