6. It has been this way since the day Obama got into office.
Pander to the right, downplay and criticize the left. Yet the Obamatons keep insisting that he's the most progressive president we've ever had. Hell no he's not. He keeps moving farther and farther to the right, and shit like this proves that the staff he chose is right there with him, pulling him to the right.

He and his administration are so-called "moderate" Democrats who never saw a corporation he couldn't "compromise" with. That's why Trillions of dollars have gone to Wall Street profits with damned near nothing in regulations or changes coming down on Wall Street in change for all that money to prevent these predatory bubbles from happening again. That's why Single Payer was never on the table in the health care debates, and Obama is meeting behind closed doors with corporate reps cutting deals. That's why they're now trying to find a "compromise" that lets them kill the public option even thought the public option was The Compromise that allowed them to kill single payer.
