I take offense to that.

Assuming you are a new poster, there a lot of people who've been banned and they come back and make accounts or otherwise troll. Everyone is skeptical of people with a low post count if they make theads like this especially. If you are for real, don't take any offense.

I think anvikshiki said it about right. Too many people on the left are thinking Obama is really "one of us," when really he's thoroughly neoliberal, a pro-war internationalist and generally cozy with power elite on Wall Street. He never could have raised the kind of money he did, especially from big banks, if he was really anti-capitalist or interested standing up for the poor beyond token resistance. He knows how the system works and has always worked by its rules.

He's merely sticking to the strategy that the Democrats had since the late 70's/80's, which is to stay close to Wall Street and use the power of government to create a good regulatory environment for the big guys. Sure he's done a few things that I would call positive, but he can't really go after the people that created this crisis when they contribute to Democrats and depend of corporate welfare.
