Barack Obama

And every one of the links support his argument. But I guess you have to be able to actually understand what you're reading in order to get that.

The one from Mulligan absolutely bolsters his (and my own) point that it was the global financial crisis that has been most responsible for the widening gap between the rich and poor, that the regulations designed to help the poor were the ones most negatively impacted by the GFC and have actually exacerbated the plight of poor people. Obama is trying to fix that (in part) by expanding Medicare and insisting that his proposed cuts to SS come with safeguards for the poorest people on it. Is it the perfect catch all? No, but does it prove your ridiculous assertion that the president "isn't working for us?" Not by a long shot.

You are indicative of a most curious behavior on this web site and and among others. Information right in your face that flies in direct contradiction to what you already believe just gets distorted until it fits your ill-informed preconceived notions.

I truly cannot understand how Yglesias' article, as short and to the point as it was, could have confused and bewildered you as much as it did. But then, I don't read everything from a "how is Obama screwing me today?" perspective.
