Obama's Real Constituency

Why should anybody be shocked Obama listens only to the Wall Street and billionaire class, even and especially those people whose philosophy is diametrically opposed to the best interests of anybody other than the tiny percentage of economic elites?

The horrible Peter J. Peterson is one of Obama's favorite "advisors."

He's a greedy, evil bastard:

While “Fix the Debt” was started in the summer of 2012, before its launch Peterson was already funding organizations like the “Committee for a Responsible Federal Budget” and the “New America Foundation.” As PetersonPyramid.org notes, both of these organizations have the same goals of ultimately privatizing the Social Security and Medicare programs that millions of Americans rely on to survive.

Peterson also gave millions to support the Simpson-Bowles commission according to PetersonPyramid.org, a commission who’s proposed “solution” to fixing our debt includes massive austerity-type cuts to this nation’s social-safety-net programs. In fact, Erskine Bowles is a co-founder of the “Fix The Debt” program Peterson is funding, so it’s no surprise that the recent Simpson-Bowles Catfood Commission 2.0 plan included even more devastating cuts to Social Security and Medicaid.

He's just Obama's type.
