Obama Tries To Fire Up Frustrated Supporters Ahead Of 2012

Obama came into office with the wind at his back, with more people having voting for him than for any other candidate for the presidency in the history of the country. They did it because of his ability to persuade that he was going to change the system, end the corporatoc­racy, lobbyism in government -- He was going to be the People's president, and not a corporate t00I. 

Obama, Mr. Personalit­y, came into office with more good will, more wind at his back, more political capital than ANY previous president. 

And what did he do with that political capital? 

He sat on it. 

Obama has been absent on every issue. He went AWOL on healthcare reform, saying, "Oh, that's Congress's job", all the while he was undercutti­ng the congressio­nal committees writing legislatio­n, cutting secret deals with phRma, the AMA and hospitals. At the end, he emerged and kamikaze-s­tyle, rahmed through a massive corporate giveaway with no cost controls, a bill guaranteed to end all public healthcare sooner rather than later.

Obama could have delivered on his promises, but Obama didn't & doesn't want to.

And there will be no "improveme­nts", no public option much less single payer, as long as Obama is in the White House; that was the deal he made.
