Obama To Occupy Wall Street!

Although I suppose it's not a bad price to hear a President speak in structured sentences for the first time in over 100 days.
More seriously, under Obama's Administration, millions of Americans were rapidly pushed through foreclosure and bankruptcy, while the very rich bankers who made $$$$$ helping to create the disaster were let off scot-free and got to keep their money. So when, shortly after leaving office, Obama takes huge sums of money from Wall Street bankers for effectively nothing - no-one actually cares what will be in the speech - it's seen for what it is, Obama getting paid for services rendered. Payments Obama will have known he could expect all along.
But as I said originally- merely the least worst option, if the other choice is a Republican. I often hear people don't for FOR parties in the US, they vote AGAINST them. It's turning that way here in the U.K. actually, so America isn't unique in this.

I think he was more center-left. He is definitely liberal but he did have some conservative moments.

Originally posted by guacamole View PostI could kiss you right now. And this is to be expected, and which I warned people about, because the Chicago (where I live) political machine produces conservative Democrats. Hence, this is why Arne Duncan, an ardent school choice advocate, was Obama's secretary of education; it's why, if you follow Chicago news, the wretched and evil liberal Rahm Emmanuel has repeated attacked public unions (of all sorts) and been closely allied with the governor, Republican Bazillionaire and professional half-wit Bruce Rauner.

It doesn't get much more "progressive" than rubbing elbows with Wall Street billionaires. Some of the richest people in America are liberals.
Although I find it interesting that you equate wealth with conservatism. I wonder why that is?Last edited by Mountain Man; 04-26-2017, 01:04 PM.Some may call me foolish, and some may call me odd
