Along those same lines, Obama's meeting with the usual suspects in the business world indeed was a shameless and obvious catering to his REAL constituency, and that's not to those gullible people who thought he was a "progressive."
It's never been explained WHERE Obama got all of the campaign money he raised in 2008.
WSWS:
In his pre-meeting remarks, Obama made a fleeting, mealy-mouthed reference to the nearly $2 trillion in cash being hoarded by American big business. The reality is that Wall Street is carrying out a productive investment and hiring strike, holding the country ransom in order to ram through double-digit cuts in high-end income taxes and corporate taxes, a further gutting of business regulations, and austerity measures targeting bedrock social programs such as Medicare and Social Security.
All of this, for which Obama signaled his support, is supposedly in pursuit of the goal of job-creation. This is a fraud. Had Obama ordered the seizure of the profits of the 20 firms represented at his round table, he would have had a good start toward a multi-billion-dollar public works program to provide hundreds of thousands of jobs. Of course, neither he nor any other bourgeois politician would contemplate such a measure.
I couldn't have said it better. It's an attempted bank heist.
