Yes, Virginia, this is Obama’s JOBS Act

I wrote a bit about this topic before: “Expanding Wall Street’s license to steal“, but Matt is, I feel, way more eloquent and certainly much better at providing links to the base material.
I am really at a loss on the absolute hatred of the right for Obama. After all, he has done nothing for progressives since he has been in office and it is even difficult to call his actions moderate Republican. I guess that is why the official GOP candidates have had to shift so damn far to the right, that is the only way they can distinguish themselves from Obama!
Conversely, I can’t understand why progressives continue to support this GOP right-wing nut job in sheep’s clothing. He hasn’t done a damn thing for them (the health care bill was straight out of Bush Jr.s playbook and the gays-in-the-military thing was going to happen no matter who was in office (if you can think of anything else that, even in dim light, looks progressive, please let me know)) and while Romney is surely an empty suited idiot mouthpiece for Wall Street, well guess what, so is Obama. I really can’t think of a damn thing that would be different if Romney gets elected, both are equally horrible for our nation.
The toilet is swirling around and around, we be heading down…
