In all respects, he's a destroyer, not a creator. He's a demagogic con man dressed up in well-scripted political mumbo jumbo. His speech was duplicitous from start to finish. Reality faced by millions of households was ignored.
Working people have no friend in Obama. He's gone all out against them. He wage war on labor rights. He's dismissive of popular needs. Apologists claiming he's different than Romney accept illusions about a heartless, soulless president.
Both parties represent two wings of money power. Privilege matters, not people needs.
"Obama talked the talk Thursday night," said Nichols. He made promises he'll likely keep. So far he broke every major one made. Nichols thinks, or perhaps hopes, this time is different.
He told voters they have to "choose between two different paths for America." He was right, said Nichols. "The choice between an Obama-Biden future and a Romney-Ryan (one) is stark."
"His speech was a start." He has to show he "really does worry more about Main Street than Wall Street." He's done mirror opposite.
Give him another four years and he'll outdo the worst of what he's done so far. What does he have to lose? Faux progressives support whatever he does. Why anyone believes them who knows.
