Barack Obama, FAR from delivering the "Change!" he pledged and PROMISED to American voters in every waking moment of his 2008 presidential campaign, is instead delivering MORE of the very GODDAMN-SACHS economic extortion and financial larceny that landed America in the Bush-Cheney economic recession of 2008 in the first place.
(Bush's third and last Treasury Secretary, Hank Paulson, had of course been a CHAIRMAN and career partner of Goddamn-Sachs, before Paulson became Bush's Treasury Secretary in 2006.
