  • This entire reform is one big swindle. Obama is protecting the corporate companies' profits and will fine those who don't buy insurance, this is a joke. People need to wake up, organize and push for real, radical change.

  • you're a moron. the democrats, particularly obama himself, had enormous public support behind his agenda. he just refused to do it, and capitulated to lobbyists of the oligarchs of the country.

    obama could've reformed, but he never wanted to. this is why goldman sachs now controls the financial industry, because they funded his, and the democrats, campaign.

  • well I suppose it will ultimately be that through taxation on the given means of an individual.

  • The american political climate is that of centricity; you've said nothing new. However, I was speaking of obama himself. Aside from the bailouts, he hasn't demonstrated the tendencies of a neoliberal. Things like healthcare reform are *against* neoliberal ideals because it's government spending that discourages businesses from making profits, more or less.

  • it is what he is, look at Geithner and Lawrence Summer. they are neoliberals. Look at Obama's 'reading list' for chrissakes, it's neoliberal.

    does the truth bug and pester? how inconvenient it is! better throw some lulz at it, child

  • 'Democracy', as it is manifested today (perhaps always has been) is based on the allegory of Plato's cave.

  • I am SOOOO tired and fed up with hearing about Obama this and Obama that. Focusing on him, or Bush for that matter, is ignoring political reality and is simply entertaining and distracting the herd. In that respect alone, The Real News is part of a grander Kabuki theatre than the talking head referred to.

  • About time Democratics realize Republicans are just a bunch of hard headed douche bags. It was their BOY [Bush & Cheney] that singlehandedly drove our nation to near collapse and now all the want to do is stick with political partisan fighting and back-stabbing [business as usual for them].

    Forget the Republicans! All they want to do is SUCK the corporation's MAN-MEAT and let the poor die in the streets.

  • you couldn't get that from what I was saying, that I KNOW what it is and that i'm saying you're wrong in your use of the term??

    Jesus man. Just go away.

  • make it based on income then

  • you're a "political science major" and you don't know what a neoliberal is?

  • Obama? A neoliberal?

    Roflsauce. I know he's center-left but neoliberal is practically calling him a conservative.

    =\

    You're so wrong, buddy.
