Obama is not your friend

[Cain]

You know that.

I know you know that.

But people are idiots.  They probably don't know that, or think it for the wrong reasons.

So here is proof of that

The discussion moved swiftly across topics, such as the general soundness of the overall system and how to jump-start lending, before it came around to what was on everyone's mind: compensation.
The CEOs went into their traditional stance: "It's almost impossible to set caps; it's never worked, and you lose your best people," said one. "We're competing for talent on an international market," said another. Obama cut them off.

"Be careful how you make those statements, gentlemen. The public isn't buying that," he said. "My administration is the only thing between you and the pitchforks."

It was an attention grabber, no doubt, especially that carefully chosen last word.

But then Obama's flat tone turned to one of support, even sympathy. "You guys have an acute public relations problem that's turning into a political problem," he said. "And I want to help. But you need to show that you get that this is a crisis and that everyone has to make some sacrifices."

According to one of the participants, he then said, "I'm not out there to go after you. I'm protecting you. But if I'm going to shield you from public and congressional anger, you have to give me something to work with on these issues of compensation."

Oh Crap, that was three years ago. If he was already in bed with them then, I'd hate to think what the situation is now.

Evidence that Obama gets what Liberals in power are for.

I've seen several opinion pieces that state that the conservatives have forgotten about this vital function of liberals, as have many of the centrists, and that is why things like Occupy are happening.

Wow.

But wait...

Politicians lie. Generally speaking, they tend to lie to whoever they are looking at (or is looking at them) when they are talking.

So that means... Obama....... is our friend?

Politics are hard.
