Obama a sellout on human rights

Yet another way in which Obama has disappointed the liberal-progressive base that got him elected. It's our fault, we weren't paying much attention. Well, we are now.

Taibbi: Obama's big sellout to Wall St.

Some have criticized Taibbi's article for errors about which appointees are doing what and answering to whom within the Obama Administration.

But the fact that BHO's administration is infested with bad-intentioned Wall Street insiders is indisputable. These guys show no remorse. Geithner in particular is a cancer.

And in the Senate, Democrat Barney Frank can't be trusted. He's in Wall Street's pocket just like the rest of them.

WH adviser: Obama 'not demanding' public option

Maybe I misspoke earlier. Obama is leading. He is leading us into the arms of the Republicans and the insurance and Big Pharma lobbyists. He is consciously deciding not to push single-payer or a public option, the only true ways to bring down costs.

What a disgusting sellout coward.

Secret memo: Obama sold us out to Big Pharma

See? Obama's Harvard education (paid for by Islamic terrorists!?) among blue-bloods and future captains of industry has done its work: Obama sold us out to Big Pharma, just like U.S. presidents are supposed to do. All you used Teabaggers who were terrified you might get access to affordable health care can relax now.

Apparently, Obama's true calling wasn't as a community organizer, it was being the best damn collector of corporate campaign donats in history. 'Course, to get you gotta give a little.

Tough break, America. Better luck next messianic minority Democratic president! (By that time, if I'm still alive, I'll qualify for Medicare, aka socialized medicine, so it won't matter to me.)
