Hey DBP, I never meant to imply that Obama ISN’T a plutocrat, he most surely is. But of the Democratic variety. Which is to say his allegiance to the Chicago School/trickle down is only slightly tempered by having a soul.
Let’s face it, the current Dem party is closer to the Nixonian GOP than anything progressive. Sure, they pay lipservice to the progressive platform but they cave to the $. And it only gets worse as post-Citizen’s United time rolls on.
I bashed Obama all over the place in his first term for caving on everything. And I wish he had stood stronger for Medicaid for all in ACA.
Did you think me an apologist for him? I’m just saying he worked hard to at least try to create change. But if you think I believe that the campaign contributions listed above AREN’T a payoff for caving on ACA volume discounts, you’d be wrong. In a world of shaded grey, he’s just lighter than many others.
