Obama Rebuffs Democratic Plea To Be More Forceful

Monday, June 6, 2011


By your logic, you think it's ok for candidates to run for office on l!es (either directly or by implying they'll do something that they won't), and once in office citizens should just accept betrayal, roll over and let their votes be cancelled out by Big Corporatio­ns.

Obama got into office promising something other than what & who he actually is. Obama gave Americans a sampling of it, his persuasive abilities, motivating people to the point where more people voted (& voted for him, an African-Am­erican) than ever before in US history. 

However, once Obama got into office, he became like every other corporate-­flak. After the election (and after the last quarter campaign contributi­ons' forms were made public) we learned why: He got more money from the corporatio­ns whose interests he's now serving than any other candidate in the race. Or in history.

More than a year in office and down to the wire on healthcare reform, Obama's back in 'fiery form', & who's he directing his fire at?: Those he promised public health care to. His own constituen­cy. 

There's no question that we could've gotten single payer (plus a complete turnaround of this country) had Obama been this past year what he was during the campaign.
