The media and the corporate controlled congress is spinning this as a "trade war" that would hurt America?
Obama may be waffling on Capitulating to the Corporations once again.

A bipartisan bill targeting China’s alleged currency manipulation easily cleared the Senate Tuesday night, despite warnings from Beijing and free-trade backers that the legislation could spark a trade war and harm the global economic recovery.

My biggest Question is this: Hasn't China already hurt us and won the trade war?

Isn't this what part of Occupy Wall Street is all about?

Fox News in on a tirade about George Soros using his billions influencing the media. I don't need to rant about the hypocrisy but it's humorous to hear them complain. I guess it feeds into their constant narrative that the media is influenced by liberals and socialists...

This story will make you laugh your ass off...

I would contiue to rant about the blatent propaganda of Fox News, Drudge etc. but Fox makes it too easy to point out their bullshit....

I guess this is why Cable news in general is tanking.... People are sick of bias crap and promoting talking points from the political camps.....

At least Soros is smart about his influence on the media and thank goodness the left has someone with big bucks helping out the cause. I think Soros finally realizes the power of the media....

He's a counter weight to Murdoch's media dominance....

I'll make this quick and sweet!!

My late father was a member of the Federal Employees Union while he worked in the Department of Justice.

Because of him, I had a good roof over my head, a good education, a stay at home mother who read to me every night.

I was a benefactor of those who fought for workers rights, good salaries and good benefits.

I never went without as a child and I don't blame anyone who wants the same for their family.

I'm also from the great state of New Mexico

The right wingers who preach the importance of personal responsibility are trying distance themselves from this nutcake as much as possible.

I think the reason why the public is so pissed of is because people know who's been turning up the rhetoric!!

Obama promised to protect the internet!! The same internet that allowed small donors who helped him get into office and this is how we get repaid, another slap in the face to his base!!

So this is how they control the independent voice in this country...

They will call it a "free internet" as long as you have enough money to influence the traffic to your internet site.

Does this sound familiar?

Yes it does, just take a look at AM radio.

The large corporations buy up the 50,000 watt air waves then broadcast whatever they want squashing the small voice. They consolidate radio then syndicated shows with right wing talkers who saturate the airwaves and control the message to the public.

Here's Huffington Post's link to the subject and a great article...

Is it my perception or are the Democrats the ones who have to waive the white flag and come to a compromise while the Rich/GOP/Tea Party just yell louder and get their way.

If the left in our country does not start taking to the streets and yelling louder than the right, the rich are going to take control of everything and leave few table scraps for the rest of the country....

The present tax cut legislation being debated in congress was constructed by the right wing in our country as a Red Herring to roll out every election to wedge the Democrats into a never ending tax debate. They need to put it to rest, let it expire and give the middle class a bigger tax cut exposing the GOP's hand to the American public.

Obama is about to roll over on tax cuts for the rich, I think the writing is clear. This would defy everything the man ran and stood for during his election.

Even with the right wing talking point that it will hurt the economy and jobs everyone knows the simple fact that "trickle down economics" is a crock of bullshit. It's disappointing that Obama is still willing to compromise on the tax cuts for those who have never ever had it better in the history of the country (quoting Warren Buffet).

The bottom line....

Obama is out of touch, a nice guy but out of touch....

I specifically remember on 2008 election night flipping through the channels of all the major news networks. I remember flipping it to Fox News who looked like a sad bunch of puppies.

I remember the days leading up to the election when the pollsters and the corporate media tried ever so hard to give us the impression that the losses weren't going to be so bad. Some even had McCain pulling even with Obama when the final results were totally wrong.

I remember what a great day Nov 3rd was!!!

I remember how relieved I felt!!

So What If?

If there is anyone more despised than George W. Bush, it's the morons who put him in office. We have these fringe 527 donating millions to overturn the Democratic majorities and the last figure I heard was 7:1 dollars.

They disguise themselves as "Freedom Works" the "US Chamber of Commerce" etc.

Well if they won't put a face on there organization, it's time that you did!!!

Obama is moving up in the Gallup Daily Tracking and both the Democrats and Republicans are dead even in regards to public sentiment about both parties. The Greedy Corporate media has tried their best to paint the midterms as a blowout election cycle over and over again. They have thrown everything at Obama and he still sits rock solid at 46%

I don't buy the corporate propaganda!!

I don't buy the story line that the Democrats are going to get trounced in the midterms!!!

This election may be determined by the middle 15% of independent voters if we let it!!

but we can send a message to the greedy pigs who are controlling the strings. To the John Roberts of the world who think that corporations are equated to people!!!

It's time for another change...

The whole Shirley Sherrod thing was the final straw for me. Obama emphasized making pragmatic decisions but is obviously so hyper sensitive to polls and politics (another thing he claims the right does but he doesn't) but it's obvious they made a "jump the gun" decision instead of attacking the right wing noise machine and their antics.

I live in a state where the Democrats outnumber the Republican's three to one and most of my friends are disappointed who worked their asses off to get Obama elected in hopes of another FDR that would take on the big business. We are wordless, stunned and disappointed.

Obama has turned out to be another politician that duped us. Shame on me for believing the hype!!!
