How Obama and Democrats have been "having their cake and eating it, too", or in other words, delivering to their real constituen
ts (Big Business) while providing themselves with excuses or 'plausible deniabilit
y' when it all falls to h3II.
The latest is Obama's freezing of federal employees' wages. Not only was it a Republican idea and plan (for which he got nothing in return), but look
how it guts his and Democrats earlier "accomplishments" of financial reform legislation.

Are the insurance regulations enforceable?Then there's the chair of the Senate Intelligen
ce Committee, Dianne Feinstein, who lives off her defense contractor
-husband's vast wealth,
announced that she supports rewriting and expanding the Espionage Act of 1917 to make it easier to prosecute W!kiLeaks and those like them;
as always, Feinstein abuses her role as Chair of the "oversight
" Committee not to scrutinize and limit the abuses of the intelligen
ce community but to protect them at all costs, as that's where her source of wealth and power lie.
She was responding to yesterday'
s announceme
nt that Joe Lieberman -- joined by GOP Senators Scott Brown and John Ensign --
introduced a bill intended to make it easier to prosecute Assange. When it comes to authoritar
ian punishment
s for those who dare to expose what the US Government does, the mindset is entirely bipartisan
.
I predicted that Feinstein would also surface on one of the other headline stories this week, and adopt a populist position where the outcome is pre-ordain
ed to
NOT be resolved in favor of the People. This is the habit and practice for her and experience
d politician
s in both parties. Can you guess which story she's surfaced on?
