Signs that POTUS is moving away from his base

February 6, 2011 | Posted by GrumpDaddy

President Obama is betting on Big Business to re-elect him- although they didn’t the first time! This is not good news for those of us who voted for him at least partly as a rejection of the Bush administration’s pro-business actions.
We have several strong indicators of this change:

His compromises on the Healthcare Law, which favored Big Insurance
His appointment of William Daley as Chief of Staff
His “compromises” with the GOP in the Lame Duck sessions- especially accepting the “Bush” tax cuts
His call for businesses to tell him which regulations are “stifling growth”
His order to the EPA to NOT do their job (a common practice of Bush )
The latest indicator is a planned visit to the Chamber of Commerce- a known proponent of Big Money

These developments are signals of “business as usual”, not the change that we supported and thought Barack Obama represented. They mean we are in the untenable position of waiting for one of the 2 major parties or a third party to nominate a viable candidate who will support an agenda that favors the majority of American citizens, not JUST the wealthy.
