HERE'S WHERE THE LOOT WENT TO: THE LOOTERS! OBAMA'S CRIMINAL BANKSTER DONORS...!
PROFITS UNDER OBAMA HAVE SOARED IN TWO YEARS MORE THAN ALL EIGHT YEARS UNDER BUSH!
“Records show that four out of Obama's top
five contributors are employees of financial industry giants - Goldman Sachs
($571,330), UBS AG ($364,806), JPMorgan Chase ($362,207) and Citigroup
($358,054).”

HE PUNKED US GOOD WITH HIS
“CHANGE”, THEN SURROUNDED HIMSELF WITH ALL OF BUSH’S ARCHITECTS FOR WALL ST
BAILOUTS AND NO REAL REGULATION, LIKE TIM GEITHNER, AND ALL THE MOST CORRUPT

AFTER SERVICING HIS
BANKSTERS, HE’S TURNED HIS ADMINISTRATION INTO A SUBSIDIARY OF THE MEXICAN
FASCIST PARTY of LA RAZA!

In what was billed by the
White House as a major speech on the economy, President Barack Obama on Tuesday
combined a potted review of American history with half-truths and lies in an
attempt to present himself as a fighter for social equality and critic of Wall
Street.
Obama, who has spent nearly three years in the White House single-mindedly defending the interests of the financial elite, has in recent weeks adopted this populist persona with the aim of derailing the emergence of social protest, in the form of the Occupy Wall Street protests, and seeking to channel it behind his reelection campaign.
The speech was notable only
for its unbridled cynicism. As always, Obama proceeded from the premise that
the American people are infinitely gullible and suffer from collective amnesia
with regard to the record of his administration.
Yet under his watch, not a
single banker, hedge fund manager or financial regulator has been prosecuted,
let alone convicted.
OBAMA IS NOTHING BUT BUSH’S
THIRD CORRUPT TERM!
In every aspect of domestic
and international policy, Obama has continued and escalated the policies of his
Republican predecessor. He has gone beyond Bush in slashing social programs,
waging aggressive war, and attacking democratic rights—including officially ordering
the assassination of American citizens.
Obama plays the populist card
8 December 2011
In
what was billed by the White House as a major speech on the economy, President
Barack Obama on Tuesday combined a potted review of American history with
half-truths and lies in an attempt to present himself as a fighter for social
equality and critic of Wall Street.
Obama, who has spent nearly
three years in the White House single-mindedly defending the interests of the
financial elite, has in recent weeks adopted this populist persona with the aim
of derailing the emergence of social protest, in the form of the Occupy Wall
Street protests, and seeking to channel it behind his reelection campaign.
Typical
of such carefully staged events, the site of Obama’s remarks—Osawatomie,
Kansas, where Theodore Roosevelt gave his 1910 “New Nationalism” speech—was
chosen for its symbolism. By wrapping himself in the mantle of Roosevelt’s
Progressive Era reform agenda, Obama hoped to lend credibility to his
improbable pose as a man of the people and opponent of the moneyed interests.
The speech was notable only
for its unbridled cynicism. As always, Obama proceeded from the premise that
the American people are infinitely gullible and suffer from collective amnesia
with regard to the record of his administration.
Reviewing
the events that led to the financial crash of 2008, Obama declared: “We all
know the story by now: Mortgages sold to people who couldn’t afford them, or
even sometimes understand them. Banks and investors allowed to keep packaging
the risk and selling it off. Huge bets—and huge bonuses—made with other
people’s money on the line. Regulators who were supposed to warn us about the
dangers of all this, but looked the other way or didn’t have the authority to
look at all…
“It
combined the breathtaking greed of a few with irresponsibility all across the
system. And it plunged our economy and the world into a crisis from which we’re
still fighting to recover. It claimed the jobs and the homes and the basic
security of millions of people—innocent, hardworking Americans who had met
their responsibilities but were still left holding the bag.”
This
is a fair description of what amounts to a criminal conspiracy against the
people of the United States and the world, carried out by a financial oligarchy
that exerts absolute power over the political system. A bit further on Obama
declared his commitment to a country where “everyone plays by the same rules.”
Yet under his watch, not a
single banker, hedge fund manager or financial regulator has been prosecuted,
let alone convicted. On
the contrary, the president has handed them the keys to the national treasury
and tailored his policies to enable them to continue their speculative
activities and make more money than ever.
The
fury of the state has been reserved for those who have sought to protest
against the plundering of society by the financial elite and the resulting
growth of poverty, unemployment and inequality. They, for the most part student
youth, have been assaulted by baton-wielding police in riot gear, packing
rubber bullets and using pepper spray. The protesters have been arrested in the
thousands. Obama, with his silence, has signaled his support for these attacks,
carried out for the most part by Democratic mayors.
Obama
strained to present his policies as diametrically opposed to those of the
Republicans. After the worst economic crisis in eighty years, he said, the
Republicans “want to return to the same practices that got us into this mess.”
This
from a president who has made “bipartisanship” the watchword of his
administration and done his best to restore credibility to the Republicans
after they were repudiated in the 2008 election that brought him to power.
In every aspect of domestic
and international policy, Obama has continued and escalated the policies of his
Republican predecessor. He has gone beyond Bush in slashing social programs,
waging aggressive war, and attacking democratic rights—including officially
ordering the assassination of American citizens.
After
attributing the entire blame for the deregulation of big business and the
growth of inequality to the Republicans, ignoring the fact that these processes
proceeded apace under Democratic as well as Republican administrations, Obama
declared that his solution began with “making education a national mission.”
This
is yet another example of shameless hypocrisy from a president who has adopted
the education program that was previously the province of the Republican right,
and spearheaded an unprecedented assault on the jobs and conditions of teachers
and the very principle of public education.
Lodged
within the fog of populist phrase-mongering were code words inserted in the
speech—verbal winks and nods—to reassure Wall Street: “the free market is the
greatest force for economic progress in human history… It’s not a view that
says we should punish profit or success… business, and not government, will
always be the primary generator of good jobs… This isn’t about class warfare.”
With
tens of millions out of work and new reports each week detailing record levels
of poverty and inequality, Obama declared that capitalism has “led to a
prosperity and a standard of living unmatched by the rest of the world.”
His
invocation of Theodore Roosevelt was preposterous on two counts. First, Obama
is not proposing the slightest measures to address social inequality, unlike
Roosevelt, who, under conditions of emerging class battles and the growth of
the socialist movement, advanced a significant bourgeois reform policy,
including a progressive taxation system, unemployment compensation, and laws to
restrict child labor and establish minimum wages.
Second,
Obama falsifies history. These reforms were not showered on the people by
benevolent presidents or bosses, they were extracted from the ruling class
through mass struggles, involving millions of workers in sit-down strikes and
general strikes that rocked entire cities and defied the murderous violence of
the employers and the state.
In
his 1910 speech, Roosevelt warned, “If the reactionary man, who thinks of
nothing but the rights of property, could have his way, he would bring about a revolution.”
Over the next half century, the American ruling class was forced, kicking and
screaming, to adopt measures that lessened social inequality precisely to avoid
revolution.
As
is now clear, those concessions to the working class were not permanent.
Precisely the failure of the labor movement, due to the treachery and
pro-capitalist orientation of the trade union bureaucracy, to break from the
Democratic Party and build an independent socialist movement disarmed the
working class and allowed the ruling class to wage a counteroffensive.
Obama
and the entire bourgeoisie are now seeking to utilize the economic crisis to
repeal the 20th century and destroy all of social gains of the
working class.
For
all his pseudo-populist bluster and his invocation of an earlier period of
progressive reform, Obama could offer no serious measures to address the social
crisis. His only concrete proposal was passage of an extension of his payroll
tax deduction—a measure that is striking only for its hopeless inadequacy. It
is fundamentally reactionary to boot, since it will allow corporations to
reduce their Social Security taxes, thereby draining the government benefit
fund for seniors.
The
president’s central focus is to join with the Republicans in shredding what
remains of the social safety net. “To reduce our deficit,” he boasted, “I’ve
already signed nearly $1 trillion of spending cuts into law and I’ve proposed
trillions more, including reforms that would lower the cost of Medicare and
Medicaid.”
We
will leave it to the professional apologists for the Democratic Party, from the
New York Times to the affluent upper-middle class types who occupy the
offices of the Nation, the AFL-CIO trade union apparatus and various
pseudo-left groups to try to paint in “progressive” colors what has turned out
to be the most right-wing administration in modern American history.
For
our part, the Socialist Equality Party in the US will do everything in its
power to expose those trying to hoodwink the working class with identity
politics and the hoary myth of the “lesser evilism.” The fight for social
equality means the fight for socialism and the independent political
mobilization of the working class to take political power in its own hands.

Editorial Reviews
Obama Is Making
You Poorer—But Who’s Getting Rich?
Goldman
Sachs, GE, Pfizer, the United Auto Workers—the same “special interests” Barack
Obama was supposed to chase from the temple—are profiting handsomely from
Obama’s Big Government policies that crush taxpayers, small businesses, and
consumers. In Obamanomics, investigative reporter Timothy P. Carney digs
up the dirt the mainstream media ignores and the White House wishes you
wouldn’t see. Rather than Hope and Change, Obama is delivering corporate
socialism to America, all while claiming he’s battling corporate America. It’s
corporate welfare and regulatory robbery—it’s Obamanomics.
Congressman
Ron Paul says, “Every libertarian and free-market conservative needs to read Obamanomics.”
And Johan Goldberg, columnist and bestselling author says, “Obamanomics
is conservative muckraking at its best and an indispensable field guide to the
Obama years.”
If
you’ve wondered what’s happening to America, as the federal government swallows
up the financial sector, the auto industry, and healthcare, and enacts deficit
exploding “stimulus packages,” this book makes it all clear—it’s a big scam.
Ultimately, Obamanomics boils down to this: every time government gets bigger,
somebody’s getting rich, and those somebodies are friends of Barack. This book
names the names—and it will make your blood boil.

Praise for Obamanomics
Praise for Obamanomics
“The
notion that ‘big business’ is on the side of the free market is one of
progressivism’s most valuable myths. It allows them to demonize corporations by
day and get in bed with them by night. Obamanomics is conservative
muckraking at its best. It reveals how President Obama is exploiting the big
business mythology to undermine the free market and stick it to entrepreneurs,
taxpayers, and consumers. It’s an indispensable field guide to the Obama
years.”
—Jonha Goldberg, LA Times columnist and best-selling author
—Jonha Goldberg, LA Times columnist and best-selling author
“‘Every
time government gets bigger, somebody’s getting rich.’ With this astute
observation, Tim Carney begins his task of laying bare the Obama
administration’s corporatist governing strategy, hidden behind the president’s populist
veneer. This meticulously researched book is a must-read for anyone who wants
to understand how Washington really works.”
—David Freddoso, best-selling author of The Case Against Barack Obama
—David Freddoso, best-selling author of The Case Against Barack Obama
“Every
libertarian and free-market conservative who still believes that large
corporations are trusted allies in the battle for economic liberty needs to
read this book, as does every well-meaning liberal who believes that expansions
of the welfare-regulatory state are done to benefit the common people.”
—Congressman Ron Paul
—Congressman Ron Paul
“It’s
understandable for critics to condemn President Obama for his ‘socialism.’ But
as Tim Carney shows, the real situation is at once more subtle and more
sinister. Obamanomics favors big business while disproportionately punishing
everyone else. So-called progressives are too clueless to notice, as usual,
which is why we have Tim Carney and this book.”
