Either you completely side with the big wall street tycoons with no corporate taxes, no taxes on the wealthy and leave them alone with huge executive bonuses from TAXPAYER money, or they're gonna call you names on TV.
Then when Obama supports the Bush/Paulson bailouts, they still call Obama names because there are, God forbid, actual strings attached to the free tax payer money.
These right-wing talking heads make themselves look like total bafoons.
I KNOW! Obama makes it remotley palatable by fixing the most grotesque parts of the whole thing, and then the whole thing, grotesque parts and all suddenly becomes HIS! These guys wouldn't know populism if a lynch mob tarred and feathered them.
support Milton Friedman's economics. Obama's economic team support monetarist economics. Obama uses hollow populist rhetoric but in fact supports giving trillions to bailout banks and hedge funds but a small amount in social programs. Author Chris Hedges points out "
