I can't believe this kind of stuff is back. It feeds into people's paranoia.

It insinuates that Wall Street can get the Pres. to betray us. The comments on the article are from people who to me seem as out of touch on our side as the wing nuts are on theirs. Sorry, just my view.

sure sounded to me like he wanted to cut Soc. Sec. benefits by raising the retirement age. Ditto for Medicare.

If Obama tries to push his Grand Bargain austerity measures on us, many who voted for him will revolt, but if he gives up on that nonsense and rallies the American people to push back against Wall Street austerity marketeers and obstructionist Rethugs, then he will have a lot of support.

But this article contains a big repetition of the obvious (ie what WS wants) witb some self importance on the part of the author. What's new here?

...and got Obama to completely shut out advocates of the public option, talking only with health insurance companies (which you can read as "Wall St.&quot and cutting a deal with them. He went against his word as a candidate to serve the interest of finance.

let's see, When president Obama was running for the office of president he had some tough talk against the PTB, then after he got the nomination it was "Now is not the time to point fingers." which was code for "Nothing to see here, just move along". Than a year or so ago he was on Sixty Minutes and said something like, "what Wall St. did might have been immoral but, they didn't break the law." (which I call bullshit). he didn't even act tough towards the bankers. And don't forget he put up little to no fight for single payer health care. I voted for the man in both elections and I think he is a good person and gives one hell of a speech but, he is bought and paid for just like the ones in the past and the ones to come in the future until we can get a solid third party in the mix. I'm looking for a president that is not afraid to slam doors, throw chairs and tell repugs to go fuck themselves and throw crooks no matter how much money they have in jail.

Keeping up pressure in support of social safety net and against cuts to it, keeping up pressure in support of increasing taxes on the wealthy, and not on the middle class.

Letters to our reps in congress, to the White House, to the editor....

Trust, remember? That's why Obama was re elected.

He's a kinder, gentler corporate shill.

from republicans on the safety nets. First of all there are not many companies left. And if there are; 401K's are bulls*it compared to the old retirement systems. Americans simply will not go for it! President Obama needs to just raise taxes on the rich and be done with it!
