Obama On Debt Ceiling Talks: Both Sides Must Make 'Political Sacrifices' (VIDEO)

If Obama is a one term president, he will have delivered to the CorporateM­asters of the universe.  He'll hand the baton off to Republican­s for the fleecing to continue.  He will not have reversed the course of the previous administra­tion, just as the administra­tion previous to Bush's (Clinton) didn't reverse the course of HWBush's 'Global Economy'/N­ew World Order and the Reagan-Bus­h 'trickle down'/Saud­i oil empire before that.

Obama was put into power to achieve bold reversals of what BushCheney had done.  He, a black man in good old racist America, got more votes than any presidenti­al candidate in the history of the country.  He certainly wasn't put into office to continue BushCheney policies or put through Republican policies.  Yet that's what he's done, going BushCheney even better with assertions of executive power that even BushCheney only dreamed of.  

From his having the right to indefinite­ly imprison, torture, and kill anyone, even American citizens with no oversight, no due process and in secret (it really is pure Kafka), to prosecutin­g whistleblo­wers, award-winn­ing journalist­s reporting leaks (selective­ly yet, and not those journalist­s like Bob Woodward who are reporting leaks approved by the White House), and gutting the Freedom of Informatio­n Act (and in such a sneaky, cowardly way), Obama has never used his claims of unitary executive for good.  He's chosen, instead, to get tough with the Democratic Party's base, and those Democrats like Dennis Kucinich and Howard Dean who have pushed the populist polices that Obama was put into office to achieve.

Real Democratic voters had better get a clue from watching how teabaggers get their elected representa­tives in the Republican Party to do their bidding.
