This is along the lines of the argument that Obama is not running on specifically anything for his second term, except raises taxes on the rich.
Matthews is freaking out shouting down the Republican on the show. He says business is keeping the economy crappy because they want Obama to lose, he didn't say why they want this but implied it is not about profits (racists?)
"I want to be happy with him," said Democrat Kristine Vaughan, a 45-year-old school psychologist from Canton, Ohio. "But I am finding that he has succumbed to the corporate influence as much as everyone else. I think he has so much potential to break out of that, but overall he has been a disappointment."
She is right about Obama pretending to be anti-Wall-Street while promoting some of the worst practices of crony capitalism. I try to explain that to my Dem friends and acquaintances, but I think some of them are figuring at least part of it out without my help. I'll bet they will vote for O. but I don't want them to feel good about it.
