Poll: Obama Soft On Wall Street Banks, Swing State Voters Not Happy

Via AmericaBlog: Campaign for a Fair Settlement, a liberal housing group which formed to pressure state Attorneys General like California's Kamala Harris to not agree to a bad robosigning settlement deal, has released a poll that paints a brutal picture of how voters in swing states view President Obama's handling of the housing crisis. The poll also shows that voters think the President hasn't done enough to hold banks accountable and that criminal behavior by Wall Street has driven the crisis. The poll surveyed independent likely voters in Pennsylvania, Florida, Arizona, Nevada and North Carolina, all of which are states which have been devastated by the foreclosure crisis...".* The Young Turks host Cenk Uygur breaks it down.

Why in the hell does Obama automatically think that Independents mean centrists. Independents are people who dont want to be affiliated with both parties. If you look at the polls Independents constantly poll with Progressive ideas like Cenk says.

Obama's in bed with Wall Street, international bankers and big corporations. He did too much for them and neglected the American Citizens as well as the U.S. Constitution

An yet Obama or Rodney will still be elected no matter how many people don't want them to. We need to change for a Direct Democracy.

Obama's spending to much time trying to get on the conservatives good side. (It doesn't help that he and his other buddies are getting cash for it too.)

Little regulation, no tax raises for the rich, and the republicans are STILL not happy.

Obama, STOP reasoning with the unreasonable. Tax and regulate the sh*t out of those bastards.

Your vote has been manipulated. Before Americans began to wake up. Your rhetoric was completely valid. We are In the Infancy of a new era. Vote In and support financially and physically people who want to stop the governments takeover of our freedoms. I know there will be some candidates that are unacceptable. Then we vote for the one that will do the least damage,until we can purge them from our lives as well. This change will not be quick or easy. Nothing worth It ever Is.
