Obama The Conk

[Pwns]

Sorry, I guess I worded that statement badly. What I meant was that if GWB is your idea of a conk, I could see how you'd think Obama is in the same vein.

Just because he's been in bed with Goldman Sachs for many years doesn't mean he's pro big business. It just means that he knows how to serve the people who were able to put him in power and keep him there.

(but MOST politicians by default are pro-giant corp)

Yup. If your a health insurance company, defense contractor, or oil company he's been good for business. You have to be to win a second term. So it doesn't really matter whether he's a progressive in wolf's clothing or, as Greenwald suggests, a moderate Republican at heart. Those who simply called him a politician are right.
