24. Yeah, that's why insurance companies & the Chamber of Commerce spent billion$ trying to defeat HCR
And that's why Wall Street and the Chamber of Commerce is doing their best to kill financial reform. I must've missed when "the Corporations" supported the following Obama Administration decisions:



"Obama administration has issued tough gas mileage standards for new cars and trucks hitting dealerships in the future...
President Obama suckered the GOP into showing that they are so obstructionist they would oppose their own agenda, if only it were proposed by the President. They were all watching one hand, which he was waving around to attract all the attention. Meanwhile, his other hand was doing something else entirely.

"This is the biggest step the federal government will have ever taken to save oil, cut greenhouse emissions and save consumers money," said David Friedman, research director of the clean vehicles program at the Union of Concerned Scientists."

And just wait until President Obama tackles the immigration reform bill next year! Oooh, that'll make "the Corporations" happy!

:sarcasm:

24/7 Obama critics who push tired old memes have yet to explain why, if President Obama "has no choice but to do its bidding" these reforms have engendered so much resistance from "the Corporations".
