Kaikki muuttu, kaikki

ei entiselleen mikään jää... niinhän se laulu menee ja niin piti kaiken muuttua Obamankin astuessa valtaan
Mutta

Noticeably absent - anyone representing ordinary people. Workers, homeowners, the unemployed, the disadvantaged, the poor who've been hurt the most by Wall Street's-caused financial crisis now morphed into the worst economic downturn since the Great Depression. Their omission is clear evidence where Obama's administration is headed, where his allegiance lies, and what his policy directives will look like. A rigid class society, white supremacism, and neoliberalism are safe in his hands.

-- he's for permanent occupation of Iraq;

-- America's imperial agenda;

-- militarism and foreign wars;

-- new ones against Pakistan; possibly Iran as well;

-- an enlarged military;

-- more troops to Afghanistan;

-- a new Cold War with Russia;

-- in 2006, campaigned for Joe Lieberman against anti-war candidate Ned Lemont;

-- opposes impeaching Bush and Cheney;

-- in July 2005, backed reauthorizing the Patriot Act with its police state provisions;

-- supports Homeland Security funding to enforce them;

-- supports the death penalty;

-- privatized in lieu of public education;

-- is one-sidedly pro-Israel;

-- opposes universal single-payer national health care;

-- supports medical providers in wrongful injury cases;

-- backs "free trade" and initiatives like NAFTA;

-- the right of mining companies to strip mine everything;

-- is unresponsive to labor;

-- supports biofuels production, big agribusiness subsidies, and the industry's rage to make all foods GMO;

-- supports the Bush administration's energy policy; its huge subsidies and other generous handouts;

-- backs nuclear power, loose industry regulation, and multi-billions in subsidies;

-- supports the Paulson bailout plan and the fraudsters that get it;

-- backs repressive immigration legislation affecting people of color;

-- is beholden to his corporate backers; and

-- is committed to a pro-business agenda overall.

He steered clear of criticizing Wall Street, and appears ready to back down on his campaign pledge to cut taxes for earners under $200,000 and raise them on incomes over $250,000. When asked point blank, he waffled and said this policy may be reconsidered, which is clear evidence it's been scrubbed.

He's reputed not to be a member of the far-to-the-right-of-center Democratic Leadership Council (DLC), but according to its founder, Al From, he's on board for "a good part of the strategy we have articulated over the years." He added that Obama has an "intellectual" and "tactical" connection to the DLC. It was clear in his first appointment - Rahm Emanuel.
