Puppet vs Puppeteer

The economy seems to be improving, in the United States, if not in Europe. Stock market climbing, unemployment down, GDP probably up. This would seem to favor Barrack Hussein Obama in his reelection bid. On election day, a poor economy might not favor an incumbant president, but it might favor a business like challenger. But a good economy will favor the incumbant, particularly against a challenger who has carefully cultivated a reputation as an insensitive rich guy.

If the economy continues to improve, and Mitt and Newt keep duking it out, things will look really good for the incumbant Obama.

The noted author and social commentator Chris Hedges is quick to point out that Obama is no less a corporate puppet than any republican; true enough, but perhaps a bit needlessly negative.
Obama will raise at least one billion dollars over the next few months, probably enough to purchase the presidency, again. That's the way its done in America, and we don't seem to mind.


Conservatives ridicule Obama for having been a "community organizer", trying to portray a noble endeavor as senseless rabble rousing among the poor. Obama, like Bill Clinton, never had nor made any money until he became president. He knows what a modest life style is, and what necessary frugality is. These things Mitt has never known. 

We the nintey nine per cent want a president who understands what its like to be poor. A fellow corporate puppet, if you will, rather than a corporate puppeteer.
