This guy said it well:
| | I smell the odor of mendacity. The average American refuses to accept that republicans are at war against the working-class, which is why they vehemently oppose reform (financial and healthcare), unions, public education, government oversight, wage hikes, worker rights, access to higher education, middleclass tax relief, and, in general, any legislation that would jeopardize the continuation of a credit-dependent, employer exploited, unhealthy, downtrodden, marginalized, underpaid, debt-laden, undereducated and permanent class of laborers. Similar to sharecroppers, it’s in republican’s best interest to keep the working-class hopeless, oppressed, and undereducated. Republicans staunchly supported the Wall Street bailout to protect their own assets, but opposed the automobile industry bailout, which employs thousands of middleclass Americans
The republican aristocracy opposes any kind of governmental oversight that will interfere with their pursuit of exploitive capitalism, which is why they want to abolish or privatize the EPA, FAA, FDA, SSA and Departments of Agriculture, Transportation, Interior, Health and Human Services, and Education. Just like feudal lords, Republicans require a formidable army to protect their financial interests, which is why they defend unrestrained military spending. The Iraq War will cost well over $9 trillion, while health insurance for every American would cost $1 trillion. Republicans want to keep America angrily divided by class and race, which is why they vehemently oppose any legislative action that would eliminate the status quo and elevate the standard of living for average Americans. |

And a bit more...
| | Obama saves America from economic obliteration, and conservatives demonize him. Republicans deregulate Wall Street, oil companies, and other financial and mortgage instruments, leading to economic and ecological disaster, and conservatives are quiet, blame Obama, and call Obama’s efforts to save America “misguided.” Republican disgust for working-class Americans (and their unwavering support for big business) is patently obvious. Recently, lock-step republicans: 1) voted to allow Wall Street banks trading in risky sub-prime derivatives to retain FDIC liability insurance at taxpayer expense, 2) voted against adding tougher home-mortgage standards to the Truth-in-Lending Act (which would have outlawed the no-documentation “liar loans” that played a major role in the sub-prime mortgage meltdown), 3) voted against underwriting standards aimed at banning loan originators from steering borrowers toward mortgages they cannot afford after teaser and adjustable-interest rates expire, 4) voted against increasing the liability cap for oil companies from $75 million to $10 billion, opting instead to have taxpayers pay for oil spills, and 4) voted against the creation of the Clean Energy Consortium, an initiative designed to focus on developing private sector renewable energy sources. Republicans also voted against restricting debit-card transaction fees, a move that would have helped small, “mom and pop” merchants, not Wall Street fat-cats. Republicans: Protectors of Big Business. |

I have no idea who this guy is but I am prepared to take his extremely vague and unsubstantiated claims at face value as the comments section of blogs are one of the best places to get reliable information from. |

Well this strategy has 2 positive effects. For one, it makes BP look so bad that even more pressure and penalties can be applied to them, and two; it forces the other companies to revisit their own safety procedures since they have basically all just lied on television that their systems are any more safe. |

Probably (hopefully) it's a joke..
I'm not the person that is approving of everything Obama does but our choices are pretty narrow. It was either vote for Obama or the delusional idiots.
When it comes down to it, it's pretty disheartening b/c democrats will still have my vote in future elections to come unless something drastic happens to the republican party. |

IMO it would be a good time for everyone to wake up and notice that Obama is not on the side of the working class and he is not trying to save America (or anyone else for that matter, not Iraq, Afghanistan or Palestine). |
