Obama seems to be playing "Good Cop" to Bush's "Bad Cop."

Obama seems to be playing "Good Cop" to Bush's "Bad Cop." Tone is different but SOS DD

Obama is simply reading the "President's Play Book." To wit: Wall Street runs the government (therefore Larry Summers is your man and not Dean Baker) and the Pentagon runs foreign policy (that's why we have Gates and not Kucinich)

Always was that way--our founding fathers, like the super-wealthy George Washington or the mildly wealthy James Madison, wanted the rich to rule--they preferred monarchy, of course, but settled for oligarchy.
