I believe that all politicians do is ride of the fat cats, give them what they need and reap the earnings for their conceivable work.It's not a huge surprise that Obama has not greatly supported OWS movements, question is why would he?
Also... any chance of minimising the personal attacks/remarks. I enjoy reading this politics sub-forum, just don't want it to be banned temporarily again. Just a thought...[/QUOTE]
I agree he's not the first, but he's one of the most hypocritical about it with the way he throws his base crumbs about social inequality and injustice and stoking the flames of class warfare and other thinly disguised commie mumbo jumbo (and he did express verbal support for the occupiers...how can the useful idiots among them who have pledged their support even give him a second glance or ounce of respect knowing the above?), and I suppose we can use the excuse of inflation as to why he was the recipient of the greatest amount of Wall Street campaign cash leading up to the 2008 election when compared with any of his predecessors, but it would appear he's upping the ante even further now. Nothing would be sweeter than for it to blow up in his face and turn us into the next Zimbabwe because NO ONE is holding these criminals accountable. I've only seen one candidate even touch upon this problem, but HE's apparently the kooky motherfucker.
[QUOTE=clintlove;1008743]Jesus Res, as absurd as you may think it sounds, he just has a different opinion of our current president than you. Lay off the racist thing, it's old and all you're doing is proving his point. Try opening you eyes a little and look to see that republicans aren't the only "bad guys" in Washington.[/QUOTE]
Well, when you see the world through colored lenses, the entire argument can be diminished to race. Rez can keep playing the Al Sharpton/Jesse Jackson game, but I suspect a rude awakening is coming. Maybe if I called Herman Cain an Uncle Tom, I would have landed in Rezzy the Race-Baiter's good graces.
