My understand­ing is that wikileaks tried to work with the US govt to redact sensitive info but was rebuffed

Yes, and most interestin­gly was the reason given for the government­'s refusal, that it would be akin to cooperatin­g with hostage-ta­kers.

Not weeks later, Obama said of his 'deal' over retaining Bush's tax cuts for the richest 1%:  

THE PRESIDENT:  Well, let me use a couple of analogies.  I’ve said before that I felt that the middle-cla­ss tax cuts were being held hostage to the high-end tax cuts.  I think it’s tempting not to negotiate with hostage-ta­kers, unless the hostage gets harmed.  Then people will question the wisdom of that strategy.  In this case, the hostage was the American people and I was not willing to see them get harmed.

No wonder the American people are confused about the true nature and character of Barack Obama, and keep his approval numbers relatively high.  Relatively­, that is, in that the numbers keep Obama working against the best interests of the American people and on behalf of the transnatio­nal corporatio­ns and the richest 1%.

Until Michael Winship and others in positions of influence stop coddling these corrupt politician­s and political parties by showing deference and respect, we can expect the US's continued slide into ruination and obscurity.  It shouldn't be too much longer now.
