doesn't change the fact that it was in the Court's purview to make that decision

True, but pretty irrelevant. A bad decision was made, and it was shaped by the Obama administration. The fact that the administration got the court to accept it doesn't absolve them of responsibility.


Of course you are entitled to your opinion but there are many others who would disagree.

We were a capitalist country under Bush.

In broad terms yes, and in broad terms we still are. Unfortunately the extent of the free market decline under Bush, as it has been declining for most of the time since at least FDR. The regulations in place under Bush helped cause the finacial crisis, and contribute to or cause other costs and problems.


The tax cuts and lack of the enforcement of gov't regs is what lead to the fiancial crisis.

Over the past ten years, the little guy got screwed big time

In general that's nonsense. In specific cases when it happened, its likely to have been in a situation with heavy government involvement, or even directly by the government.


You're in denial.....and clearly choose to stay uninformed.
