I can't understand why anyone is excited about the crumbs dropping from Obama's table. 8% unemployment still means that the rich get all of the productivity gains. Free trade with Panama is not protecting the American worker or the environment in which we live together.
Obama's one of them. He gets that you can shear a sheep many times, but slaughter it only once. But he still views us as commodities, sheep. Not human beings.
Remember, Obama only started to care about the economy when his numbers started going down. He's a kinder, gentler oligarch, and he can be successfully pressured. But he's a Reaganite Class Warrior at his heart, and we're stupid if we spend any more than the minimum effort on him.
