You can choose to think of Obama and his intentions in whatever way makes you happy. What you can't do is explain how any of what Obama's done these past two years has been in the People's and not the Corporations' interests.
What's gotten lost in the news cycles these past months is Obama's new NAFTA-like treaties that means more Americans' jobs will be outsourced overseas, on top of his failure to fulfill his campaign promise of renegotiating NAFTA. And EFCA. And then there's Obama's Cat Food Commission (and its plan for gutting Social Security and Medicare), along with the renewed push on the Dream Act, which means a flood of immigrants working for slave wages.
You can choose to believe what you will about Democratic politicians, but the fact is that the DLC controls the Democratic Party (the DLC is referred to as the Republican wing of the Democratic Party, the pro-corporate branch), and Democrats in Congress and in the White House have signed on to privatize public resources and utilities and deregulate. Democrats in Congress, despite all their campaign promises, have refused to regulate or perform their Constitutionally-required role of oversight, both in the Bush and Obama administrations. What little regulating they've put in legislation the last 2 years is ineffective for a whole array of very sneaky moves. But as a result, wars are still being fought off-budget with defense contractors robbing us blind, insurance companies aren't complying with healthcare reform laws, banks are continuing as huge profit-making machines for their officers and leading the nation into one bubble and crash after another.
We The People are being transformed from sheep into sacrificial lambs.
