The Democratic party use to be what it claimed to be. Remember JFK, FDR, Johnson, even Cater saw we needed to get off the big oil drug.

Ever since Clinton, the Democratic party has tried to be a party of Pro- Monopolies and corporate favors. But it can't do both. It can't be the party that looks out for corporate and monopoly interests and protect the people. It can't cater to Big Business, ensuring they pay NO taxes, ensuring the uber wealthy pay NO inheritance tax, ensuring tax breaks for shipping jobs out of the country, while fighting for social justice and democracy.

The Democratic party has to make up its mind. Does it want to represent "We The People" or does it want to represent the interests of monopolies and corporations. Obama is trying to do both. That is where he is failing.
