Obama was pandering to the financial capital since the day 1. It's hard (and dangerous) to bite the feeding hand. There is no better definition of "something for nothing" than the crowd that "groomed" Obama for the presidency.

He's a typical liberal in this manner. BUY VOTES with these handouts, and endless promises of new govt. program$.

Also, too many libs don't care about a person's feelings of self-worth as they acquire things for themselves. They care more about having a huge segment of society dependent ON the govt. so that they can be the party that assures them the handouts will never stop. They hope by this that they keep being re-elected by the ones that are wanting to be dependent for life.

"Blame you can believe in" that is the new slogan going around. It's getting old.

That's right! he has not just bought votes by handouts for individuals but handouts for corporations! Wow, I forgot the list of stimulus money that's vanished as quickly as puddles on a sunny day.

Now, just today it's in the news he's campaigning to buy votes with some new mortgage bailout by getting underwater folks Refi's that have no fees. But, HE was one of the causes OF this mortgage crisis, LOOK! Years ago....obama thanked, singled-out by name by a CEO of Fannie Mae for having pushed them to write more Subprime.

PROOF....


PS, if clips from video like THIS are used in Campaign, TV commercials then I GUARANTEE you Obama will be defeated in the next election. If we all email and write whomever runs against him to suggest they to this, and they do, they are guaranteed to be the next president. Do any of them have the spine to DO THIS? McCain sure didn't, and it's such a no-brainer to use such brutally honest clips as these.

You have to ask, why Obama went through with it. He said giving out money was wrong and continued down the same path.

We should not expect for things to change. The Dems have always used handouts, as a measure to ensure then votes.

As long as there are people in society dependent on the Govt, and a Govt willingly so freely to give, why would anything be expected to change.

Pride does go right out the window. And those who take from the govt, has so little self-worth.
How ingorant to not even know that you are being used.

Do you know who great "Empires" and Countries collapse and become 3rd world nations? When the rich get richer and the poorer get poorer. When the middle class disappears. When the country over extends itself (wars, occupying other lands). Look at history..start with the Romans. USA is on that same road.
