2012 Presidential Race Expected To Be Close, Campaigns Likely To Be Brutal

BHO is now cleaning up the mess the Republican­s made and is fighting Far-right conservati­ve extremism trying to prevent them from finishing their destructio­n and taking us into another economic depression­.

No, he isn't.

Obama's been dodging and weaving and caving, kicking the can down the road, and delivering on what Bush and Norquist and conservati­ves were up to: Ending the New Deal and Great Society programs the only way you can when the People overwhelmi­ngly want them and won't agree to the frontal assaults on them for 30 years -- By bankruptin­g the nation.

Obama's just the next chapter in the corporatiz­ation of the US government­.  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'.
