Is President Obama little more than a puppet for those powers that elected him?

[Thunderous Barbarian]

Which include:

Multinational Corporations now receiving his corporate welfare
(which FAR exceeds his pittance welfare to the poor)
Big Pharma and Big Insurance (the BIG winners of Obamacare)
Big Unions (who are only it it for political power and care nothing for the worker)
International Banksters and Fascistic Billionaire Currency Speculators

Do progressives have ANY idea what they helped to bring about or are they simply too gullible and ignorant to see the forest of oppression for the trees of entitlements they think they are getting?
@period boy ~ The TEA PARTY began as a reaction to Bush's progressive actions--NOT as you seem to assume in defense of them. Until you wake up to the fact that you have been suckered into hating a strawman, the very leaders you support will continue to dupe you into surrendering your freedoms and attacking those who are actually standing up for them.

Yes and all he knows how to do is whine about the republicans and blame them for all of his screw-ups.

It appears that way.

But he does it with gusto, that's why they chose him.

Bush was a puppet for the war machine ; and though the Iraq war is dead and over, we are still paying the price. Until you recognize this fact, all the other stuff you want to pin on Obama isn't worth the time to discuss.

[JRHRLH]

Just like any other President, yes.

[Michael T]

No More or Less than any other President ever elected to Office in the good ol US of A

translation the only President who has ever served that was not a puppet to those that got him elected was Gerald Ford

you know the guy that never took part in a presidential election

as it was he was a political appointee of the Republican Party [ through that President at the Time Dirty Dick ]

[Alfred E Newman]

and a lazy puppet

[BekindtoAnimals22]

People are so partisan that they just slide into complacency when their party is in power. They don't tend to pay any attention to what that party is actually doing until a few years after the fact at which time they blame and/or credit the next administration for it when its results have actually touched their personal lives. They just sit back and cheer for their team. The media no longer reports on current issues that actually inform the public and if they do, even the facts become controversial. The credibility of the source becomes the issue rather than the actual issue. The media gets a big portion of their material off of Facebook and Twitter based on public opinion, outrage, and social issues that tend to work themselves out over time without the political brouhaha. In the meantime, the country is being changed into something I no longer recognize as the USA.

Both parties are void of common sense principles that once kept this country on the high ground in the world. Most of those serving in government seem to have lost their minds and the proof is the very state of the union and our decreasing standing in the world. Its obvious to over 70% that we are headed in the wrong direction.

Obama s a true believer in leftist ideology. He s a puppet without strings...like Pinocchio, especially the pathological lying part.

[Daisy]
