1. They are all bought and paid for.

We are so screwed.

2. He should never have been anywhere near

the Obama White House after his record from the 90s.

3. 161 people - 24 trillion in assets

Peter Phillips, project censored, has a new article on the transnational capitalist class.

4. Well now I understand some of the President's appointments.

5. I now understand why

Obama is secretive about TPP. It obviously favors Wall St. It's NAFTA on steroids.

The sad reality is that wall st. basically controls Obama.

6. Third Way Dems

own the party. They work for Wall Street. The populist shtick is for rubes like me to rise to so I'll vote for these bastards. Never again, the lesser of two evils argument be damned. They're the same evil. The US is a de facto rightist oligarchy. Get used to it or begin to fight against it, but please stop making excuses for this President and the Democratic Party.

12. Yes: as long as we keep voting the lesser of two evils

they will keep running evils. We should only vote for politicians that work for us.

9. I watched this last night

my jaw dropped when I heard Penny Pritzer chose BO

to avenge herself, and he billions. I wish everyone had know this sooner.

We were/are being sold out to satisfy her ego!

I'm so discussed by this..

10. So, all that BS about William Ayres and Reverand Wright, what was that about?

Smoke screens? This is much more damning and we heard bupkis.

[Enthusiast]

11. Exactly. Smoke screens. William Ayres was CIA anyway, he only played a radical 1960s liberal.

Screaming that the President is a socialist is another smoke screen. The Clinton outrage during the 1990s was another massive organized smoke screen.
