"The wealthy, not only by private fraud but also by common laws, do every day pluck and snatch away from the people some part of their daily living. Therefore, when I consider and weigh in my mind these commonwealths which nowadays do flourish, I perceive nothing but a certain conspiracy of rich men in procuring their own commodities under the name and authority of the commonwealth.
They invent and devise all means and crafts, first how to keep safely without fear of losing that which they have unjustly gathered together, and next how to hire and abuse the work and labor of the people for as little money and effort as possible."

Obama Watch
Right on schedule Team Obama, right on schedule. Jeremy Scahill has compiled a superb reference list of The One's new team of Clintonistas and other assorted DLC hacks and it's all in accord with an agenda the President-Elect has been signaling since he wrapped up the nomination: to the center-right we go. Change? Silly chumps.

Thanks for that article, Coldie. Great reading. Seems about the only progressives not fooled by the Obama mistique was you and I. We will be in Iraq for quite a spell.
His support for Emmanuel means that Palestine rights will not be a priority for his administration. Sad.
I really believe that the combo of the cratering economy and continued setbacks with the imperial projects in Iraq and Afghanistan will bring people around closer to our view on Obama Lefty. The feel good window is going to close rather quickly on the Anointed One I think.
