Matt Taibbi: Bush tougher on corporate America that Obama is. Hands down.

[ksen]

No. I'm not accusing Obama of being a conservative

Um, from an hour and a half ago.

WAKE UP! I've been saying for quite a while now that Obama ISN'T EVEN a liberal.

 

[laughing dog]

Oh please, more Obama apologetics.

A trend is a trend. Or do you dispute there is a trend.

First of all, liberals on these boards have not criticized Reagan for running large deficits. After all, Obama's have been even larger. They criticized Reagan for cutting taxes which were partly responsible for those large deficits.

As usual, your response ignores the fact: Reagan ran historically large deficits and Obama runs historically large deficits. If such deficits are examples of "trickle down economics, liberal style" when Obama runs them, logic and intellectual honesty requires that such deficits are "trickle down economics, liberal stye" when Reagan ran them.

Secondly, the fact that prosecutions have declined since 2000 is irrelevant. Taibbi already made that point. But when it comes to prosecuting TOP executives, Obama falls WAY, WAY short even of George Bush. Yes, Obama is prosecuting Abacus band whose top executive gets paid $90,000 a year.

Finally, prosecutions certainly ARE an economic issue if you think regulations are important. Prosecutions, after all, are what enforces regulations, and if you aren't going to enforce the regulations, it's the same as repealing them. So if conservatives propose to repeal a regulation, liberals on these boards jump all over him. But when Obama simply refuses to enforce them, it's no big deal.

Prosecutions are not economic policy. Even your response acknowledges that.

Where's the necessity of necessarily being one or the other. You have corporate shills masquerading as conservatives (Bush), and corporate shills masquerading as liberals (Obama).

But, while I supported Bush in 2000, I gave up on him very early in has administration and proclaimed him to be a big loser. I'm just wondering when the liberals on this board are going to see through Obama and accept that he is a loser.
