What could Obama have done to make him not be a disappointment?[/quote]
I dunno…maybe keep some of the promises he made during his campaign?
Obama has done more to destroy the middle class than Bush did. The financial crisis gave us an unprecedented opportunity to right many of the wrongs that have been perpetrated by those in power — the financial elite. They could have been investigated, tossed in jail, their assets confiscated, and made an example of so that nobody would try that sh!t again, at least not for many decades to come. Instead, Obama (and his puppet masters who control everything) made sure they got record-breaking bonuses **during a financial crisis!!!** and saw to it that nobody was punished, nobody lost their assets, and nobody went to jail.
In the meantime, he (and company) tried to convince us that inflation would somehow solve our problems…that giving even MORE money to the rich would magically make everything alright. He’s not called out the speculators who’ve caused massive inflation in basic commodities that people need to buy in order to live The speculators who’ve caused even more distress among those who were hurt most by the bubble and its aftermath are swimming in more money than they could ever have imagined.
Why didn’t we nationalize the banks and start investigating those who KNEW that their actions were going to cause a collapse of the financial system? Why isn’t Alan Greenspan being investigated? Why aren’t the regulators being investigated? Why aren’t the CEOs of the financial firms being investigated? All we’ve seen are minor slaps on the wrist. It’s an obvious cover-up, and everybody knows it, and Obama knows it, too.
