183. Absolutely correct - FDR was very status quo
and pushed to the left by the threat of the socialists/communists gaining popularity in this country. He basically saved capitalism, and I actually thought they were propping up Obama to do the same thing. But the threat of the left is gone (purged in the 20's and again in the 50's), so Obama did not do what I thought he would do. Instead he went straight right, ala Ronald Reagan. Other communists predicted this would happen, because they knew more history than I did. But I am reading now, and learning daily, and unfortunately I expect things will get even worse before they get better.

So here we are. Workers vs. Capital. Which side you're on is the only relevant thing to discuss in this thread, but the Obama supporters amuse me with their myriad attempts to derail the conversation.
