UCGAL I agree with you entirely, especially your points about Wall Street and Obamacare. The rich have certainly gotten richer and Wall Street has benefited greatly.
I guess my point was with regards to the voters or supporters, not Obama himself….to me there was little to no ideological differences between Obama supporters or the left in general. I think that the some of these threads have pointed out there are substantial differences…of course those are all my own shortcomings.
I believe that there is a very large segment of Obama supporters that fall into the CAR camp. That unions, public employees have been persecuted more the then private sector, and that the compensation of employees across all sectors public, private, union, non union is equivalent. That Wall Street is 100% responsible for all the woes in our country. That big business provides no benefits, and all profits should go to the workers. Never mind about capital investment, etc…
There is another substantial block that falls into the entitlement camp. They are the “I will take every advantage of the social safety net that is out there without really putting in the effort to help myself”.. and this president will see to it that I get more and more….
Then there is a more well educated and rational block like say pr_dk. I may not agree with him but his approach is grounded in logic. Brian not so much. He applies logic when it suits him but those rose colored glasses are glued on. Still though, the intelligence is there in a maddening sort of way.
Make no mistake UCG, like you said we are screwed either way.
