I would be curious on your take on all of this (as well as anyone else's).
I am very happy for the extension of unemployment insurance benefits--which the Republicans had refused to do without getting hundreds of billions of dollars for the extremely wealthy.
One of my questions is: do you think this only confirms that we are in an oligarchy?

#2 - Fri Dec 17, 2010 6:29 PM ESTObama must not run again. He dropped the ball. He mucked up. If he had any balls he'd resign and let crazy man Biden run the show.
Obama would rather be boogeying in the Islands at the Big Luau anyway...He's a lazy weakling who betrayed the working-class.
BTW -- When was the last time he visited the 'hood...?
