come attached with safeguards for the poor, that means nothing because you are wedded to your idea that "Obama is not fighting for our side?"

Even though the global financial crisis, which started before the man was sworn in, is by far the greatest contribution to the growing chasm between rich and poor, this is somehow proof - to you - that Obama is not fighting for our side?

The efforts done to bail out the auto industry, provide many more Americans with health care, and raise taxes for the rich apparently mean nothing.

The article states very clearly that Obama's proposed Medicare expansions, higher taxes for the rich and income support will help the poor. I have no idea why you would so eager to pontificate on a piece that you obviously couldn't be bothered to read.
