ifthethunderdontgetya commented on the blog post Bain Capital Debate Busting Larger Story About Role of Business Leaders in Job Creation
I don’t think anything will be different, except he won’t have to face the voters again. Some of the worst things Bill Clinton did were done in his 2nd term.
B. Clinton has made what, $75 million in speaking fees in the last decade? This is where Obama is headed.
Wall Street bought Obama’s election. It was a good investment for them.
The Wall Street plan for the Obama-bubble presidency is that of the cleanup crew for the housing bubble: sweep all the corruption and losses, would-be indictments, perp walks and prosecutions under the rug and get on with an unprecedented taxpayer bailout of Wall Street.

My vote was wasted on Obama, because he did win, and then did so many things I abhor.
I live in Ohio, but I won’t have Obama’s murders of women and children in our so-called “War on Terror” on my hands again.
Or his related suppression of the press.

I think you can expect the next President to go after Social Security, whether it’s Obama or Rmoney.
I’m voting for Jill Stein. I voted for Obama last time, but he’s lost me.

Protecting Social Security ought to be a huge campaign issue for the Democrats in every election.
Thanks to our Democratic President (Catfood Commission, attempts at a “Grand Bargain” through SuperCongress™, it is not.
I voted for Obama last in 2008. I’ll be voting for Jill Stein this November.

I remember him from right here on FDL back in 2006, when all those Blue America candidates would be on.
Rahmbo only gave money to the blue dogs like Heath Shuler.
Then the Cheney-Rahm White House would say, “We’d love to do these things our voters want, like put a public option in health care reform, but the darned blue dogs won’t let us.”
They have nothing but contempt for their base.

It should be no surprise that this is happening in Bush-Cheney-Obama America.

Chief Justice John Roberts laughed at the lawyer for the family, Jeffrey Fisher, during arguments in Court.
He’s a fascist, and it shows.

And we’ll hear about how very hard it is to bring prosecutions against the banks.
Especially when you aren’t interested in trying.
Par for the course for President Drone Strike.
But watch him go after journalists and whistle-blowers like the Furies of Hell.

This whole “War On Terror” is a sham.
It’s simply taking the place of the “War On Communism” as an excuse to fund the military-industrial complex.

We’re caught between Scylla and Charybdis.
On the one hand, we’ve got cold-blooded, lying Republicans. And on the other, a Democratic party controlled by those whose sole goal is to compete with the Republicans for the corporate payola.

“The only way Keystone XL could be considered in the national interest is if you equate that with profits for the oil industry,” said Kretzman, who wrote the report.
We’ve got 50 years of history in the Middle East (I’m counting from Operation Ajax onwards) showing that is exactly how our government operates.

Does he really believe that?
He believes it’s a story they can tell, and one the corporate media will embrace.
That’s all the ‘belief’ you’ll get from the likes of Chait.
