It's all about money. We are a capitalist nation, so it's always going to be the well-being of the rich over the poor.

There is a video on youtube, which is a collection of quotes from former Presidents and powerful people throughout history where they spell out that the Government has been owned by the financial institutions since the days of Andrew Jackson.HELLO & WELCOME!https://www.blogger.com/profile/02705250944026984999noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3942755444285547250.post-53094377722924891902010-03-23T11:12:27.054-07:002010-03-23T11:12:27.054-07:00First of all, it's not blasphemy to speak out ...First of all, it's not blasphemy to speak out against Obama. I voted for him but mostly just because I didn't want McCain. I actually had a preference for Clinton but I digress. It is not the president's job to just sit pretty and look good for the rest of the world. (If that were the case, I'm pretty sure Bush got a pretty big fat F as did many others.) The president's job is to be the executive branch. Some are weak, like Obama. They let people bully them around and spend too much time being everyone's friend. Then there are others like Andrew Jackson who flat out said "John Marshall has made his decision, let's see him enforce it." Granted Jackson wasn't doing a friendly thing but the point is that not all presidents sit on their hands the way Obama has. You could even turn to FDR for someone who did a lot in the executive branch. He pushed more legislation through than any other president.<br /><br />Furthermore to say it's the same shit, different asshole is bullshit. You are right in that there are greater forces at work than just the executive branch. It's mostly congress, something that rarely, rarely changes (look at how long a lot of them have been holding their seats), so obviously nothing new changes if there isn't a strong executive branch. May I just say "hurrdurr"? And no, that's no a defense of Obama. Like I said, so far, he's been a very worthless/lame duck president. It's a defense of the executive branch. And that's about my biggest bone to pick with what you've written here.<br /><br />Corporations are dirty and always will be. Do you really think employers wouldn't lay people off regardless of whether or not it's an economic slump? Naive if you don't. Even if we were in a booming economy, they would still find any and all excuses to lay off workers because that's just what they do. They'd rather outsource jobs than keep them here.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
