We had to struggle with the old enemies of peace--business and financial monopoly, speculation, reckless banking, class antagonism, sectionalism, war profiteering.
They had begun to consider the Government of the United States as a mere appendage to their own affairs. We know now that Government by organized money is just as dangerous as Government by organized mob.
Never before in all our history have these forces been so united against one candidate as they stand today.
Can't even imagine a modern president giving a speech like that one at Madison Square Garden in 1936. Just trying to picture Obama or Bush saying "Wall St hates me and I welcome their hatred" is so ridiculous, I can't help but laugh.
I don't know what's worse - if he aims to help the banks against the people or if he's so incompetent he looks like he's complicit! We have a poe for president ._.
@AntiSchiff Yes. The sad thing is that our disappointment is our own fault. Amy Goodman, Rachel Maddow, and his friends from law school, all say he has always been a centrist Republican who adored Reagan.
@AntiSchiff As I think @sparton2600 pointed out, "abused woman syndrome" is like "rape" --too powerful and emotionally charged to be used as a metaphor. If you wanted a syndrome, Stockholm would work. If you meant to insult Obama by calling him a woman, that's a serious problem!
@spartan2600 Democrats have all been such pussies by letting the so called Republicans (Neo-Cons) push them around that they all suffer from abused woman syndrome so now they're inept and can't fight back worth a shit. Just look at Obama, prime example, he needs to grow some fur on his tiny little nuts LOL!!! Outlook's bleak.
