Obama Did NOT "Fix" The Economy; He Did Not Even Try. [View All]

[JFN1]

Simply restoring the system of greed, corruption, and social imbalance that Wall Street truly represents, does not "fix" the economy.

All this does is patch up the status quo - and this is not the same as fixing the economy. And all I can see that Mr. Obama HAS done, is to ensure the old system gurgles back to life.

Because the TARP bailout, the bank bailouts, the AIG bailout, all of these "fixes" worked to ensure the people who brought our economy to its knees, remain where they are, doing what they do.

If Obama truly wanted to save failing banks and Americans, he would have given Americans the bailout money directly - which would have TRICKLED UP to the banks, the brokers, and the insurance companies.

But this was not the choice our President made, was it?

Instead, he bailed out the big shots, the greed warriors, and the corrupt. He bailed them out without so much as a guarantee that the people who did this, would not be able to do it again. And wrung even more concessions from working Americans while he chastised the auto manufacturers, who's losses are a drop in the bucket compared to Wall Street.

So quit pumping sunshine up my ass and telling me Obama is working for me in his efforts on the economy. I LOVE Obama, I do. He's a good man, I supported him, and still do. But these things do not make his actions inherently correct, so stop pretending they do. Obama is as human as you or I, subject to the same frailties, faults, and episodes of poor judgment. So stop acting like he walks on water.

Because I think it is pretty clear that We, barely factor into this new economy - which looks an awful lot like the old economy.

And I'll tell you right now - you flame me because I dare to question a Democrat (it is our JOB as citizens to question), I am going to flame back. Being a loyal Democrat does not mean being BLIND.
