This really isn't rocket science.
Corporate CEOs have a fiduciary responsibility to make profits for their shareholders.
If that means outsourcing Americans' jobs because corporations can make their products cheaper overseas, so be it -- With emerging markets worldwide, corporations don't need Americans as customers, so who cares if American workers have the money to purchase these products anymore? Jeff Immelt, the head of GE and Obama's Job Council, said as much last night on 60 Minutes (although it's not really news).
If that means polluting the environment (because the costs of disposing of toxic materials would cut into profits, and as 'persons', corporations are protected from the same Constitutional protections against unlawful searches as real people are), so be it. By the time Americans get it together, realize the truth and fix the mistake of 'corporations are people', Congress will have eliminated the regulations on toxic waste dumping (or the White House won't implement or enforce the regulations, or refuse to prosecute corporate criminals).
Obama's in the Oval Office to mellow-talk us into accepting that which we'd never stand still for if we had contentious, fire-in-the-belly real Democratic leaders actually fighting on our behalf. Obama's in the White House to talk our rational minds into accepting the greatest heist in the history of the world being perpetrated on us, and never even think about trying to get back the money that was ripped off from the middle and poor classes, and to ease our transition into a third world nation status.
Obama is the grifter leading off the second half of the con game, which is to squeeze the rest of the dimes from the poor and middle classes. It began in earnest (and on steroids) with part 2 of Bush's Medicare Reform Act of 2003 (high-priced junk health insurance that has no cost controls), and has continued with his push for more NAFTA-like treaties (outsourcing more Americans' jobs) and the Deficit Commission and now with this 'Super Congress'.
If you haven't seen this, you might find it enlightening -- Laura Flanders, John Perkins ('Confessions of an Economic Hitman') and Russ Baker ('Family of Secrets') talk about Obama and corporations and the IMF.
