Has Obama sold us out?

I have done nothing but heap praises on President Obama for the last couple years based upon what he has said he was going to do and what he believed in, but now I am starting to have some doubts. It would appear he is allowing the people who voted for him to be sold down the river.

This healthcare bill that is about to be passed is a joke, as I understand it. It’s idea of making sure everyone has insurance is forcing the young working man to buy from a for profit health insurance company. I bet most of this bill was written by the insurance lobbyist.

I know Obama has said he wanted true meaningful reform, but then to turn around and endorse this would seam to be selling out in my book.

Obama also slams the banks and wall street in his speeches, but now we have banks issuing credit cards with almost 80% interest rates while they are borrowing money from the Fed at o% interest and buying Tbills with it for a guaranteed profit, why risk making small business loans. He has appointed the usual wall street insiders to many important positions.

Congratulations wall street had record profits and the recession is over.

What I hope is that Obama has a grand plan. That he is like Mohamed Ali to the establishments George Foreman and he is doing the rope-a-dope, with something really great planned for the later rounds. If not, he is only marginally better than the rest of them and i am disgusted.

As far as international goes i think he is doing well. I have as little info about what is really going on in Afghanistan/Pakistan as most everyone else, so can not criticize his decision on how to best extricate ourselves from that mess.
