In retrospect it seems foolish that ordinary people believed that he was speaking to them.
In order to get elected Obama raised $750 million and spent approximately $735 million of it during the campaign. Given the astronomically high amount of money it took to achieve victory and his subsequent actions in protecting Wall Street from rightful prosecution it should come as no surprise that three of the top ten single contributors to the Obama campaign were Goldman Sachs, Citigroup and JP Morgan Chase.
And so we see this:
A protester handed President Barack Obama a note while shaking hands along a rope line in New Hampshire today. AP photographer Charlie Dharapak smartly zoomed in so you can read the note for yourself.
People aren't stupid. They can understand what is happening. They see a real unemployment rate of nearly 25%, a further economic contraction on the horizon, banks being protected by the government, investment firms stealing from their investors and being protected. They watch as people protesting these things are beaten and arrested while the people that imploded the economy are given bonuses and protection. They watch as the Obama administration tries to pressure state Attorney Generals to keep from prosecuting those responsible.
