Never again.

Never again can we the people worship a sitting president. Save reverence for legacy. Our media has ignored his transgressions, and lauded his speeches and promises. They have consistently forgotten those promises and failed to hold him accountable for... well really anything. Unchecked power never ends well.

Financial scandal that rocked the economy.

Those greedy corporate fat cats that caused the financial crisis through illegal manipulation and predatory practices. Obama vowed to bring them to justice. Let's see how he has done.

• Federal Prosecution Of Financial Fraud Falls To 20-Year Low, New Report Shows

This is probably because after receiving twice as much campaign money from Wall Street as his republican rivals, Obama's infinite wisdom was to let Wall Street police itself. Basically you self report misconduct, and they slap you on the wrist and turn you loose for having reported.

For all his blustering about taxing the rich... he failed to mention that his plan dropped corporate taxes.

• Cutting Corporate Tax Rate From 35 Percent To 28 Percent

How is that corporate abuse inquiry going? Statute of limitations is almost up...

• S.E.C. and Justice Dept. End Mortgage Investigations Into Goldman

I thought... but... weren't... ok so let me get this right... instead of prosecuting the crooks that destroyed the world economy... we gave them OUR money. Ok clear... how does this happen?

• Matt Taibbi: Goldman Case Shows Eric Holder 'Has No Balls'

• That might be because retired congress members make such killer lobbyists. Esp the democrats.

• Two years after President Barack Obama vowed to eliminate the danger of financial institutions becoming “too big to fail,” the nation’s largest banks are bigger than they were before the nation’s credit markets seized up and required unprecedented bailouts by the government.

• Low-Wage Jobs Replace Middle-Income Work, Study Finds

So it is no big surprise that:

• Income Inequality Worse Under Obama Than George W. Bush

So let's see What They Got Away With

 

Well stated!!!!

 

Many people warned before he was elected that Obama was a socialist! So I voted for him, because I wanted a socialist to do the opposite of what people like the Bushes and Reagan had put in place. I wanted someone far to the left of Clinton, then it turns out at best he's a RIGHT OF CENTER MODERATE! So pisss on Obama, a fraud!

 

Obama was naive to think he would actually be in charge as president. The only victory he will have over the corporations that really run things will be Obamacare. Which, imo, is an extremely watered down half a*s version of what the American people actually deserve regarding healthcare.

 

I don't know why anyone would be surprised at this outcome, or expect anything difference. Why would you expect positive leaders as a result of the present system?
