...although someone needs to get on Cenk's case about always interrupting his peers, it gets old. And I say that as someone who mostly agrees with Cenk's analyses...

I hope Cenk is wrong here, but I fear he is right. From where I sit, our government looks like it exists mostly to serve the interests of the wealthy elites, and that is true whether we are talking about Democrats or Republicans. Unfortunately, Obama seems to fit right in with that thesis.

Again, though: I will be thrilled if Cenk is proven wrong in this instance.
