last week, the president sat down with steve kroft for his third (i think)
"I did not run for office to be helping out a bunch of fat cat bankers on Wall Street."
oh, really, mr. president?
[believe it or not, there was a time when i might've actually bought that statement--last year before the election, as much as i thought [hell, knew] how wrong this guy was for the job, i at least held out the hope that if elected, his ultra-liberal ass would be compelled to throw the corrupt money-changers outta the temple.
ha--even i can be a pollyanna sometimes; i managed to forget for a minute that, no matter which side of the aisle a politician's on, it's first, last and always about the money.]
rather than the pretty words our president says, let's look instead at what he's done, shall we?
i could lay it out for you--hell, my jaw's been on the floor since he named tim geithner as his treasury secretary--but matt taibbi's done a far better job of documenting the whole ugly mess than i ever could, so read him instead. and i mean, every word.
i tell you, when disillusioned liberals start writing pieces like this, you know it's getting pretty bad.

I did not vote for Obama. I REPEAT, I DID NOT VOTE FOR HIM, and I've gotten hell for it.
American politics is diseased, corrupt, decayed, and uninspiring. It's a joke, and anyone who still believe in these two main parties needs some mental help. They're only there for the money, to get wealthy and help their cronies.
