My basic reaction: Obama just lost the 2012 election.
He said a lot of the things we needed to hear; he wants us to do the things we really need to do; but he's trying to lead us in a direction that's always been seen as a threat by practically all of the big money interests.
Just by pushing for Clean Energy and an end to Corporate Welfare, Obama set himself up to get slammed. Large piles of cash are sitting in the coffers of Big Business and PACs and Trade Groups, and the execs at those places will not sit idly by waiting for somebody to pinch off the flow of tax dollars out of our pockets into theirs. They have huge amounts to spend and no limits on how they can spend it. We're about to see the real effects of the Citizens United decision.
Ya heard it here.
