But it's ridiculous to pin this on Obama specifically. The most recent chapter of the fleecing began under GW Bush's watch, under the direction of his Secretary of Treasury and his appointed Federal Reserve Chairman, and with the approval of the Republican establishment. McCain was so interested in securing Goldman et. al. that he was willing to interrupt his campaign.
The vast majority of conservative Freepers ridiculed the only Republican candidate that warned of this mess before it occurred and resisted the bailout. Conservatives were so pychologically invested in Iraqi and Afghani nation-building that they failed to see the economic and political ruination of America under the Republican President and Congress. Obama is just more of the same, only worse.
The GOP tends to not see a lot when rich folks are involved. I hate to say this, but they are pre-disposed to see the damage welfare bums do, and somehow miss the bankers and financial guys who can take the whole country down. Gas went to $4/barrel and the GOP was blaming supply and demand. Yeah, speculators were demanding a supply of money.
parsy, the conservative democrat
