Black America Turns On Obama...

From "The Black Agenda Report."

Obama has sold out Black America

By managing editor Bruce A. Dixon

"The version of 'health insurance reform' in play now has no
relation to the promises candidate Obama made all during his
long campaign for the White House."

"Forcing Americans to buy private insurance is simply a
massive upward transfer of wealth to the insurance and
pharmaceutical companies."

"Like the Obama campaign itself, the public option was never
more than a brand. It was a container designed to fit our
hopes and dreams just well enough and just long enough to
close the deal, an empty wrapper, with little or no candy
inside.

"Our so-called “progressives” in Congress knew all along it was
a fraud, but they played along.

When "progressive” Democrats were drawing lines in the sand
and “fighting for the public option” all spring and summer
and fall, they told us it was this humungous public entity
that would be open to hundreds of millions, to anybody wanting
an alternative to private insurance, and that it would compete
with and force the price of private insurance downward.

Howard Dean said we should think of the public option as
Medicare, only for everybody.

This kind of “public option” was a transparent hoax, as the
wonderful blog of PNHP, Physicians for a National Health Plan
pointed out last spring..." (continued at link above).

A transfer of wealth to the health care companies whose
stocks are now hitting 52 week highs -- whodathunkit?!?!



Even the Congressional Black Caucus is turning on Obama...

Black Caucus Finally Gets the Message: Obama’s Not 'The One.'

"From Hope & Change, To Shuck & Jive"

"The Congressional Black Caucus agonizes as the accumulated
miseries of their constituents force Black lawmakers to put
distance between themselves and Wall Street's ally in the
White House, Barack Obama. Ten members of the Caucus boycotted
a vote on an Obama bill, to show their displeasure. But until
they muster the nerve to vote against their president and his
bankster friends, they are just shuckin' and jivin'. "

Conyers & Waters: "Obama is in Wall Street's pocket"

Detroit Congressman John Conyers, Dean of the Black Caucus,
has said the president bows down to “nutty right-wing
proposals” on health care, and that he's tired of “saving Obama's can.”

Several weeks ago, Conyers got a telephone call from the White
House in which the president asked why Conyers was “demeaning”
him in public. “Let's talk about it,” said Obama. Conyers says
he's in no mood to “chat” with the president, and will put his
complaints In writing.

Which is just as well. Obama has shown he is ideologically
wedded to “the worldview of Wall Street,” as Congresswoman
Maxine Waters put it. What the Black Caucus and all progressives
will have to learn, is that if you want to fight Wall Street,
you're going to have to do battle with Obama. It's way past
time to put down the Kool-Aid, and start swinging."

Air America: Obama is nothing but a 'charming liar.'

And that follows Air America calling Obama a "charming liar"
for his backroom deal with Big Pharma...

breitbart.tv

"But he's (Obama) such a charming liar."

-- Air America Radio Host, Christiane Brown

"It makes me puke, that we've been "Cheney'd" by a guy named
Barack Obama... what if the people out there screaming and
breaking up the discussions at the Town Hall meetings are
correct... what if we have a situation in which you have
secret meetings being held by the President, the absolute
fascist nightmare... because fascism is defined as government
combining with corporate powers to impose their profit making
regime on you."

-- Investigative Reporter, Greg Palast

The Rolling Stone's Matt Tabbai has called it "The Big Sell Out"
