LOL. "ties".

It is indistinguishable from the oligarchy, and is an extension of it.

Welcome back, hyperbole.

When you see Obama "getting tough" with Wall Street, just remember it is not Obama taking on the oligarchs. It is merely his oligarch backers picking which oligarchs are the winners, and which are the losers.

Some heads will roll, no doubt. Just don't confuse that with revolution. It is a smoke screen.

Got it. So no matter what he does, it is evidence that he is run by the oligarchy.

I think your tin foil hat may need some polish.

Sorry Cali, I knew that article would be upsetting to you. Maybe it is something that you and Tex can actually join forces on in condemning.
