Your head is so filled with spin, it's going to be difficult (if not impossible
) to cut through it, but I'll give it another try.
I'll start with the rhetoric that Obama's team fed to the media these past weeks, that "85% of his agenda has been achieved".
I'm sure that's true -- But it's not 'our' (the American people's) agenda, but rather the agenda of transnatio
nal corporatio
ns. It's not what Obama ran on, it's not what Democratic voters put Obama and Democrats into power to do on their behalf.
A health insurance bill that doesn't do what Americans put Obama and Democrats into office to achieve (affordabl
e, quality medical treatment for everyone), but instead institutio
nalizes or concretize
s the problem (insurance companies that add nothing to the medical treatment model, only subtracts, siphons money from Americans' pockets into private corporatio
ns), protecting insurance companies as the gatekeeper
s to Americans getting medical treatment. The only "accomplis
hment" in that is if Obama's and Democrats' goal was to serve the insurance and pharmaceut
ical industries
.
Finance reform legislatio
n that wouldn't have prevented the economic meltdown (nor prevents it from happening again) isn't any accomplish
ment on the People's behalf.
