I was working from home today so got to watch Obama's Presser about the Sandy Hook Massacre...
He did a Q&A...after his announcing his "Task Force" headed by the VP and it kind of went down hill for me after when he took very few Press Questions (I can certainly understand why..given the puny corporate paid off brains of MSM these days)...but, he took few questions but seemed to go on at length in a very dispirited way about why "Austerity" was what we Americans needed to do to "Compromise with the Repugs" and that it's "just what we have to do..." (to quote him from the many times he said that in the Press Conference).
I was left clueless about President Obama's Second Term from what he said in this Presser and felt very anxious about his next term since what he said wasn't different from what he's said since his inauguration and what he said after he was elected in 2008 where he moved to the RIGH just after the Votes Were In!
I have no idea where he stands for Democrats to the Left ...but, only that he compares us with the Tea Partiers of the Right and that he feels he and Boehner are negotiating for the AMERICAN PEOPLE to the CENTER RIGHT!
I hope when video of his Press Conference TODAY becomes available that people will watch it! It seemed to set off where he's going in his Second Term ...and for this Progressive Dem it made me wonder why WALL STREET was NEVER MENTIONED.
It was all about pitting the "Left vs. Right" and that "HE WAS GOING TO BE A CENTRIST" and didn't care about either side because.......... But, we Dems know he's governed to the Repugs (Wall Street Bailouts, Endless Wars (yes Dems support) and Dismantling Entitlements and Money for Fracking, Shale, Coal and all interest of Wall Street Commodity Traders.
Where is there anything but Corporate, Wall Street, Lobbyiist, Think Tank, consensus that he talks about?
We just re-elected him for Four More Years against a Disgusting, Wall Street Vulture Capitalist Candidate who had a Religious Affiliation that seemed kind of overwhelming and who Flamed Out and Insulted us with his idiocy and his Wife's Entitlement. Plus the MOST MONEY SPENT by RW Lobbyists and Hedge Fund, Corporate Wall Street BIG Wigs we've ever seen for the MONEY DONATED in American History.
But President Obama wants to DEAL WITH THESE POPLE? Give me a break!
