"Why Are the Rich Still Enamored of Obama?"

There are two motivating forces: Liberalism as Religion, and Fascism -- where Fascism is defined as a partnership of government and elite interests, like in China, for an accumulation of wealth and power. Every one of Obama's elite donors expects to be another Solyndra.

What is not clear is whether Obama is using Fascism as a means to achieve Socialism, or vice versa. Or maybe he just wants to destroy the US.

I don't think they are acting in that kind of interest at all. They dislike white people having kids even worse than minorities...however much they may like PP going to "serve" minority neighborhoods.

I don't think it's fear of pitchforks. They are smug and safe in gated communities, and are not only blissfully certain that the demographics won't bother them...they like the idea of pitchforkers going after white people with children.

I've been around and around with it for many years. There's something about children that liberals just hate, and feel threatened by in some madly irrational and hateful way.

Hate comes from envy, which comes from vanity. Leftism is fundamentally driven by envy. The nature of envy is not to have what someone else has, but to destroy what they have. The stereotypical liberal is too vain and selfish to have a big family but that doesn't stop them from envying the big families of their neighbors. The baby on board signs on cars and the rear window family size stickers really anger them. They believe they can never be truly happy if others have more of anything than them. They secretly work to destroy their neighbors perceived advantages, all the while with a contrived smile on their face. Leftists hate people in general because each person in the world is another person to envy, another obstruction to total equality and Utopian happiness.

The way to counter leftist envy is to point it out publicly at every opportunity and laugh at them. Satan, the vain spirit, and his associates cannot sustain mockery.

I am an attorney in NYC and I tell people stories of what I see in the court system and legal system as far as waste and abuse goes and most think I am making it up.

FYI - I am not an ambulance chaser, but a construction litigator.

This question is too easy. Money buys access to gubbermental power. The rich need access more than the poor, so they pay more for it. Getting the ear of the Secretary of Commerce would mean nothing to me. To some bankster or corporate huckster it means millions.

Politics has nothing to do with it.

“I am an attorney in NYC and I tell people stories of what I see in the court system and legal system as far as waste and abuse goes and most think I am making it up.”

It’s hard for many people to wrap their minds around the massive scale of waste and mismanagement. At the federal level (in Washington DC) I’ve personally seen tens of millions of dollars go down the drain, on multiple occasions. The agency generally finds a way to recharacterize the problem as a “partial success” and moves onto phase two and repeats the same mistakes. Nobody is ever held accountable.
