47. He is sincere about what he does, but he does not go far enough.
He should be calling on people to help pass a constitutional amendment to clarify the definition of persons and associations in the Bill of Rights.

It's a great speech, but it doesn't say anything concrete. So now we know that Tim Geithner talks to Wall Street crooks several times a day. What is the President himself doing about that?

And it simply is not true that President Obama's administration has done much to restrain the excesses on Wall Street.

President Obama should come forward with a plan for a constitutional amendment. That is so obviously just about the only way to stop the impact of this Supreme Court decision. He is just stalling for time. Another day, a different crisis and we will forget about this decision. And then business can go on as usual.

After all, President Obama received enormous contributions from Wall Street and lots of boosts from the Mainstream Media -- more than any candidate except maybe Hillary. He is sincere but about what really? And is he going to put his efforts where his mouth is?
