<<Corporations are pretty much running the country. 2008 showed us that.

So I gather you opposed Obama as a corporate stooge? He certainly got the lion's share of corporate money in 2008.>>

No, not that, but I don't know what he is? He remains an enigma to me. So I have to try and find a handle on how to judge him. Strikes me as a politico. In it for power and status. The grand irony is that the right wing sees him as a socialist and we liberals seee him as a Republcian-lol.

What I have come up with is his two appointee's to the supreme court. The Republican's have appointed 6 sociopaths in a row, IMO. And they stole and election in 2000 and the just passed the citizens United law which is a paved road to fascism and an Orwellian society. That 5 majority on the court are devastating this country. One more and we are toast.

Big money has run amok and even laws cannot reign them in e.g. 2008 where only Wall street got bailed out. And they caused it.

Obama appointed two very nice normal very intelligent women to the supreme court. And those two appointees were more important than anything he has done.
