This Obama quote should be carved in stone somewhere

79. "Instead he has worried far too much about the fate of Wall Street."

Ah yes, the favorite talking point of the "disgruntled left", or those pretending to be.

I won't address that as it's been addressed ad nauseum. However, I will say that Bill Clinton taught us a very hard learned lesson. With a divided government, you don't alienate business. FDR had that luxury because he had the WH, the Congress, and even attempted to stack the courts.

I don't think the president discounts those people "in their 50s and 60s", but he also knows that you can't just stick your middle finger in the eye of the business community, while begging them to help you turn around a sick economy. How exactly would that work in a representative democracy? Government cannot create the kind of jobs that would put everyone back to work tomorrow. You know as well as I do, what's happening in the states.
